Market at Port Douglas - 4 July

The kids made the most of having the pool right under our balcony with an early morning swim, while J, Grumps and Mum went to have up a coffee in Port Douglas before we all hit the Cotters market in Anzac Square. This kept us all entertained for quite some time, with a few purchases being made. We all enjoyed the french buskers, and as usual the the kids, especially Tom were drawn to the stalls with "rocks and gems". They weren't quite so keen on the cane toad purses since we have all loved "Toad Rage", a story about Limpy the cane toad, while away. It was then back to our rooms for lunch, and despite Port Douglas not turning on the blue skies for another, it was still warm so we all lounged around or in the pool. Late afternoon, we left Grumps reading and snoozing, and headed for On the Inlet, a restaurant on the marina, where from the bar side viewing gallery we saw George, a monster size groper, getting his daily feed. An early night for the kids, and a relaxed one for us yarning on the balcony.

  1. Great to see some pics of Port Douglas including the same view of '4 mile beach from the lookout' that we have of me with Susie and Lib aged 3 1/2 and 18 months! SOOOOOOOOOOOO long ago! Must be great catching up all together and having a bit of chill time after all your fabulous travels. Don't tell me your trip is nearing it's end....
    Holidays have started here - we head Sth to CHCH and FF for a week tomorrow. Will cruise by Rga to check out the new Deli! Hope the sun shines for y'all!
