Although the storm passed by Port Douglas the air was cooler and we both looked forward to a better night’s sleep. All got off to a good start, both sound asleep, when suddenly Jeff leapt out of bed and threw on the light. “what are you doing?” I said (I didn’t say that but what I said is not printable). “There’s a bug in here” he replied. And yep there it was and once Jeff had splattered it across the ceiling we went back to bed. Unusually for me I went back to sleep, only to be woken again a while later with Jeff repeating his leaping out of bed and throwing on the light. “what the heck is it now?” “There’s another bug”. So we looked, listened and waited. No bug. Jeff shook curtains, bedclothes, waved a towel around, turned off the fridge and made me sit in silence so he could hear the buzz –nothing. After a while of this I lost my patience and insisted that we go back to sleep which he reluctantly agreed t o do – it was 3.15am
Today is our last day in the bus for this leg of the journey. Jeff is getting cabin fever – the small space and the bugs are making him look forward to the hotel in Cairns. I am sad that this part of the journey is coming to an end, however, I will not miss banging my head on the low cupboards.
