Nice quiet day. Stroll along the promenade at Cable Beach to suss out a couple of restaurants and have a coffee. Booked on an excursion to a cultured pearl farm, scheduled for tomorrow, and Jean bought a couple of pearl earrings (remarkably inexpensive, even by my standards…..)

In the evening, went for a pub meal at the Divers Tavern, 10 minutes’ walk from the resort. Bit different. Had to queue to order food, then queue again to order drinks. Much cheaper, but no service. Food when it arrived was huge on quantity and actually not bad on quality, but all prepaid. I couldn’t finish my meal.
