Le Cher Du Monde Port Douglas

... sites are located side by side. Hence the slogan: "Where the rainforest meets the reef". I even posed for a photo where I had one foot in the water and one foot on the land - to symbolically show that I was in both sites. :P (I know. I am a geek). That was basically the end of the tour and we were taken back to our hotel in Port Douglas. <br><br> As soon as we arrived back in town, we quickly washed up and made our way over ...

... from his lovely mouth) she started to heat up (and so did John), but she conquered with ease and enjoyed the big run down hill! I think she was happy with the new shoes! It was a much quicker journey km wise and we ended up in Atherton this afternoon. It is raining (but I dont think it ever stops up in these hills) and we have got a few things on the agenda tomorrow to get the Atherton Tablelands conquered.<br><br>

<br><br>We continued to drive and stop along the road at cape tribulation ...<br><br><br><br>It was annoying that our days were so cloudy when we were by the beaches. The pictures do not show how special they are ...

... pretty good but there was a really low tide which limited a couple of things but made it easier in others. Denzel had a bit of a sleep which was good - made the day manageable. A stop in at HJ's made the ater night easier for all. Got a few photos but more will come when we develop the underwater one that Jeremy took. Until then - seeya. PS For those that care - I'm much better thanks.<br>

... there. ITs not stinger season and the crocs are slow and infrequent.... Cape Trib turned out to be dank, dark and wet so we were happy to leave, except Moby's battery went flat again. Even armed with a new toy multi-meter I couldnt figure it out even after destroying an internal light whilst investgating. Now comes the luckiest thing.... EVER. Another Moby van rolls past (in the middle of the bush) and comes to say hello as I cleaning up the battery terminals ...

... seeing one. I'm sure I'll have more random pictures before we come home. Kids last day of school will be 7/10 and then we'll come back probably a week or so after that. Jim may stay longer due to additional work maybe being sold here--still iffy. Until next time, Barb, Jim, Max and Sam P.S. To my facebook friends, a lot of these pictures are the same ones that I posted on FB, but there are a few new ones.

... see the replay of the game. I grab a prime position at the bar and order the unusual concoction of a diet coke and a pint of Stella. The diet coke for rehabilitation and the pint of Stella for both rehabilitation and..well...cause you cant sit at a bar with a soft drink - it defies all social etiquette. Nice fella from Limerick sits alongside me and I'm surrounded by French, Irish, English all catching a glimpse of this moment in history ...

Kasia came by my room and woke me up at about 5:20 am and we went up on the deck next to the wheelhouse to watch the sunrise over the Coral Sea. It was a little cloudy, so we couldn't see it immediately when it came over the horizon, but it was beautiful none the less. After the sunrise was done, we had some coffee and ate breakfast. I didn't do a whole lot today. I did some reading. I did an interview with ...

... yummy! Then we moseyed upstairs to the Bar where the famed Cane Toad Races were taking place. Cane Toads are everywhere here. They are really huge toads that infest the place. You see them on the streets at night when you are driving along. Well, the Iron Bar brings in a half dozen toads and have races with them. Members of the crowd act as "coaches" to prod each toad down from the center of the table to the edge ...
