The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

Today we hoped to see Cooktown — the town named for Captain James Cook … at the place where he came ashore after beaching his ship, which had limped here following a “reef encounter” offshore from Cape Tribulation. Instead, we saw the Australian coast on one side and the reef islands of the Coral Sea on the other side as Insignia charted a course through the northern extension of the Great Barrier Reef. Yup, we missed the port.
