Pete's Trip Updates

Tell Pete to put on his big girl panties and deal with it!!

We stayed at a 5* resort in the same chain, also located well outside the urban area and they would have wifi in the lobby but at $$$$$

Otherwise he can go to a coffee shop as the bigger chain ones will have wifi

As for the food, well maybe Walter should order the Australian fish cake to compare to the legendary sad little crab cakes

I just finished reading Pete's blog. It was funny and amusing. I hope he was joking when he said that he made Walter leave the room when he was taking a shower.

I can't picture Pete going to Europe or South America.

I would be willing to bet he was not joking. I know I would probably feel exactly the same way.

That second blog was great. Between the visual of Pete showering for all to see to that hugh bug, yuck. Just have fun and dont worry about us (as I sit on the computer hitting refresh to the blogs)

I'm with Pete on the shower - room cleared while I'm showering. Good thing I don't smoke cause I would lose it over a bug in my space.

That's the same thing I told him. Enjoy being disconnected.

I am not sure he will heed your advice, but let him know we can all wait for any updates

Pete, Enjoy your trip! Unplug, unwind, and relax!

as for pete, i know of 1 internet cafe in macrossan street port douglas he can get wifi, but there are others in town.

Or for what it is worth i suggest going down to the folks listed below, to discuss purchasing a "telstra next G prepaid package" he can use everywhere he travels. (even uluru!)

Leading Edge Telecoms - Port Douglas
Shop 30 Marina Mirage
PORT DOUGLAS QLD 4877
Phone : 07 4099 5848

Woops.... i have to correct my reply as i note Pete is in Palm Cove, not Port Douglas.

Same situation applies here re internet, except Palm Cove was nothing but a deserted beach on the outskirts of Cairns 10 years ago. I dont know what was there before ie there was no historic township. I would not know what the permanent population would be <1000 people maybe. This is a manufactured tourist destination of about 20 hotels on one road all facing the beach. There is no other town infrastucture like shopping centre etc.

Why Disney Adventures setup shop here, i dont know. Sea Temple Port Douglas would be much nicer imo. But it is closer to the airport.

As for wifi, pete i suggest a visit to the Telstra Shop - Shop 105 Cairns Central Shopping Centre Cnr Mcleod,Cairns, QLD 4870 to pick up your prepaid next G kit. It is only about 10kms away, and you dont have to go all the way into Cairns..... And you will find your macdonalds!
