Today was another day when we were to be made to feel very special, recognised and appreciated. Today, once more, we were invited to senior officers lunch with the odd drink or two, or three, or four 🥴. After which, once more, both Podge and Tubbs needed a bit of a lie down afterwards.
Today was to be the day when Podge found the ideal tour for The Duchess, it was an excursion to view the Bonaire Flamingos and the Salt Flats of Bonaire (Picture from BonaireSeaSalt.com), a journey through the lush mangrove preserves towards the beautiful south-east of Bonaire. To be honest, I suspect Debbie had no real interest in the Salt Flats as her primary interest was seeing the pink flamingos. 🦩

And we were only there for two days and a night.
This is an epic: I make no apologies: Sydney is, after all an epic city.

Until I mentioned it, The Duchess had never heard of the existence of Pink Dolphins and no matter how much I tried to persuade her, she would have none of it. So, all I could do was to book a cruise that would take us from Barbados down to the mouth of the Amazon and then upstream all the way to Manaus (The capital of the vast state of Amazonas), a distance of about 1000 kilometres. While there we would embark on an excursion to a jungle lodge then known as Ariau Towers ( no longer operating 😦 ).
