Beach Day Port Douglas

This morning we were up early and flew from Southern Australia to the north. We flew into Cairns ( pronounces “Cans”) rented a car and drove along the coast line and through the rain forest to Port Douglas. Driving is a challenge as they drive on the left side of the road. Everything in the car is opposite and each time I went to signal I turned the windshield wipers on.
Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we changed, had lunch by the pool, and went for a long walk on the beach. The ocean is much more calm here than what we’ve experienced in the south. Afterwards I went for a swim in one of the many pools at the resort.
Tonight we went to dinner at a restaurant called Nautilus. It is set in the rain forest and was so unique.
We had the tasting menu with wine pairings which included the house specialty which is Coral Trout.
It was delicious.Read more
