Yesterday was, again, a boring day.  Loved it.  Did virtually nothing but eat and sleep.   We are now in the Coral Sea, and will cruise for two days.  I thought the internet would be non-existent.  Works well.  Yes, I continue to be very happy. What is particularly nice is not to have to do anything.  Well, maybe this blog is a bit time-consuming.  But some tell me they love to live vicariously through my postings.  Not sure if humdrum appeals, but  I nevertheless continue. Well, anyway, we were in the state of Queensland ( 5.3 million people ) for the past few days, where we ported in Townsville (181,668), Cairns (153,951), and smaller towns, Airlie Beach and Moreton Island.  Still wondering why we bypassed Brisbane, which has a population of 2.5 million.  Queensland has more area than all but 15 countries--about the size of Mexico and Indonesia--and different from previous visited states in that there are rainforests and coral reefs.  Yet, this area experienced a temperature of 121 F
