Hi all,
I'll continue with my report of another great day in paradise.
Left Germany behind when started my trip, so no scratching ice from car windows in the morning.
Weather conditions were brilliant, I got some more days of summer in november. Nice!!!
...WTF?!

The Hamilton Island harbour, aka The Marina, is just a footwalk away from the hotel. I packed my gear into a bag which I got years ago, but never used - so finally a good reason to use that in a proper way.
The Marina.
On my way back to the Reef View Hotel I passed these nice apartments.
strange things fall off from the palm trees

back at the Reef View Hotel I caught Alan and his stunning 47 mm brick of a watch. That beast can split seconds!

Alan's son Baxter, my "bash buddy"

Alan and his cute daughter Yardley.
Finally meet the whole family. Dee, me and Hammer.
More attendees arrived in the afternoon at the hotel. Philippines in da house, Tim and Kerwin together with E-Wit at the hotel's entrance.
This cockatoo was waiting on my balcony for a snack - but no chance...
In the evening wen went again up the One Tree Hill with our bigger group of early arrivals. Fantastic sundown view from this point.
Of course we had a great time all together. Prost, Dee!
Cheers and flip flops!

It's all under control. Any questions? Just dial 1-800 ASK GARY

I was allowed to hold Paddy's Corona and he was holding my camera - that's teamwork...
After the sunset we returned to the hotel for having dinner.
Paddy, Geoff - finally we met - and Hammer.
That's all for 10.2 - thanks for watching and stay tuned for 10.3
