Day 14: Port Douglas

I am having such fun with my pink laptop, writing the blog, checking emails and keeping in touch.  In Kuranda, my American friends drew my attention to a market stall where the vendor was selling natural spa products.  The scent from the stall was “to die for”.  I bought a small tub of body scrub which left my skin feeling incredibly soft and healthy since.  Pre-Internet days, I would have had to fill my suitcase with a lifetime supply of these lovely Australian products.  Instead, I took the website address and will order online.  Before you ask, I left the web address with the other half of my luggage in Cairns but I will share it when I am reunited with my belongings.

Today was a free day to explore Port Douglas, a lovely sea side town at the start of the beautiful Four Mile Beach.  The town was busy with Australians on holiday.  A more remote part of Four Mile Beach was closer to my hotel.  It was accessed via a 5 minute pathway through a forest.  The path was rather spooky; not sure if I was more worried about human or animal predators, snakes or coconuts falling on my head.  I didn’t hang about long.  The beach itself was stunning and well worth the risks.

    • Hi Mum. I wondered if you would notice the drift wood. Best I can do is bring home extra photos. It was a lovely piece. Ann x
