Day 31 - Saturday 2 January 2010

Up at 6am and loaded car, woke Jo to say gooodbye and then we were off to the airport.
Good run through and we were soon on the plane and away - very slick!


We had decided to hire a car again at Cairns as there was a bit of a mix up over transfers , and we felt that it was actually a good plan to have a car whilst we were here.

The photo is of the barrier reef taken from the plane.

Once settled into hotel we drove into Port Douglas and booked Jon a fishing trip and both of us a dive down to the barrier reef! Guulp!! only ever done snorkelling before!! anyway thats a couple of days off yet.

Had a drink in the Marina and a look at the shops in Port Douglas ( really good) and there are lots of bars and restaurants here too.
Drove back to the hotel for a few cocktails, courtesy of our new status as 'Priority Guests' and then went to bed - it is extremely hot here and drains all the energy.
Going to see the Tjapakai aborigines tomorrow.
