This holiday involves a lot of packing and unpacking, as I move from location to location. I remembered a story told to me by my friend Colette, of a work colleague, Joan who packed her holiday wardrobe in labelled plastic bags, a separate bag for each type: tops, shorts, underwear etc. Great tip, it works.
Today we cruised out to the Great Barrier Reef. That created an additional packing challenge due to luggage restrictions. I had to divide my luggage in two and leave one half behind to be collected in 3 days’ time. Now I know how little luggage I really needed.
The Great Barrier Reef lived up to expectations. I went out in a glass bottom boat (twice), a semi-submersible boat and enjoyed the beautiful fish and coral through an observatory window. Then when my fellow travellers put on their wet suits, snorkels and air tanks, I headed for my deckchair and relaxed in the sun. Water is just not my thing 🙂
Arrived in Port Douglas tonight. Amazing hotel but more on that tomorrow.

HI Ann
This holiday is sure making us jeal. the photos are terrific, though in the one with everyone swimming I think there is someone drowning, I suppose it is to late to go back and check! You look very relaxed, people were asking were you gong to the barrier reef, so now I can say “Yes”
Love Mam
Not wanting to make anyone jealous but what can I say. This is a great place. Love Ann
