Today we are leaving Thursday Island to go to Cairns, Australia on the mainland, where we will spend the next 5 months. We will be quickly getting an apartment and jobs. This past 2 weeks on T.I. has been so wonderful. It is such a beautiful remote place. Since our camping trip last weekend, Dave and Jason headed out fishing on the boat a couple times and we also fished from the wharf on Horn Island and a wharf here on T.I. Yesterday was our last day, and it couldn't have been more perfect. We took Jason's boat over to Prince of Whales Island and found an amazing beach to spend the day at. On our way over we stopped at a Japanese Pearl farm on Friday Island to have a look around. Kazu Pearl Farm is a large producer of pearls here in Australia. We wanted to have lunch and do a tour, but they were fully booked, so we opted to shop a little in their store. It was such a neat spot all alone and secluded on it's own island. They had some really nice jewelry and nice Mother of Pearl Shells, along with other pieces. On Prince of Whales Island we enjoyed ourselves playing on the beach, swimming, fishing, grilling lunch, shell hunting, and relaxing. The water was clear and shallow, and the perfect temperature too! We found a small river and the guys did a little fishing and netting. We headed back in the afternoon and ended a truly perfect day.
