Creator's Key Takeaways

I am not taking a halfhour zodiac cruise around islands. And I am not walking over stones with hiking sticks just to say I landed on Cape York.

Too many other great things. But I don't mind. I don't care. I don't expect to enjoy absolutely everything.

The water is too murky for the glass bottom boats you can't go in swimming you have to stay at least 5 m away from the shore because the salties.

Tomorrow is a sea day and I for one am ready to go home.

Bring sturdy shoes for rocky terrain
Do not bring food ashore
Wear closed-toe footwear for bush walks to protect against thorns

https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com I no longer have the compulsion to do everything that's offered in any situation. The Silver Cloud Melanesian Cruise dragged in North Australia with very few excursions that interested me. However, thought viewers would like to see what was offered in these places.
