Port Douglas: 12-14/10

View through the fly screen of our tent when we woke this morning. Although I won't miss setting up each day, I will miss sleeping with only a flyscreen between us and the outdoors.
As we can't use credit cards to book accommodation we had a walk around Port Douglas and discovered that most places have standby rates. We moved into our spa apartment with a balcony and of course a pool on site.....for two nights for the same price we would have paid for one night.
Now off to explore more of Port Douglas.
Port Douglas is very much a tourist town......coffee shops and clothing 'bargains'!!!!!!!

Some of the photos we took:

Four mile beach where we swam.....even John!!!!!

The main street

One of the many hotels

The little church where people of all denominations can marry......it has a big picture window behind the altar overlooking the water  
We spent most of our time eating, walking around the town.....looking in a few shops and of course swimming.
On our last day we went to the Wildlife Habitat and had breakfast with the birds.........a fabulous breakfast and birds everywhere. We finally saw a cassowary and crocodiles; we've seen so many signs to avoid these creatures.







Can you see the crocs?

These are a couple of the amusing signs we have seen on our travels:
