Manta Ray Bed and Breakfast

We are so luck to have stayed at this awesome bed and breakfast.
Just happened upon it while looking on the internet.
Our Bali style bedroom was just the beginning of how nice this place was.

The place was beautiful and immaculately clean.
I was so worried about bugs - it is so humid and there are many, many
weird animals, bugs, birds, flowers etc.

These signs are EVERYWHERE! At every, single beach.
And I can't figure out why Tom will not go swimming with me in the ocean.
He likes to just stick to the pool where he can see what is in the water with him!


The weather here has not been great, especially for exploring the
Great Barrier Reef but we keep looking out over the ocean hoping it will change.

This is our little resident "White Lipped Green Tree Frog"
He appears every morning sitting on the top of a light by our door.
He is only about 4 inches long but sooo cute.
"It's not easy being green" however.
These little guys get eaten by lizards, snakes, birds, and crocodiles!

More pictures and stories to tell but I don't' have time right now.
But, I do want to say that our hosts, Anne and Fernando have been just awesome.
Anne is from Ireland and Fernando is from Portugal.
They feed us fabulous breakfasts every morning - always an amazing fresh fruit platter with mango, passion fruit, lychee, melons, grapes, bananas, papaya, and pineapple.
And that is just for starters! She then fixes something like the best Egg Benedict you have ever had or ham and cheese croissants or omelets.
Then of course, cereal, yogurt, tea, juice and toast is also served.
I hope to get a picture of them before we leave - just great people.
More to come when I get a moment.

  1. Love the frog! You are just heading into summer there now, aren't you? It should be warming up really well soon.
