At last ... after what seemed like an eternity, but was really only a week or so of incredibly busy time at work (end of term and farewell to exiting Principal), we have finally made it to our destination ... Port Douglas! YAY!! The weather is just fantastic, warm & sunny, 27 degrees, a slight breeze to keep the humidity down. Having left Melbourne freezing cold, rainy and blowing a gale, 3-1/2 hours later we touched down in beautiful Far North Queensland.
We picked up a hire car from the airport and drove to Cairns to do a little shopping and then settled into Mondos for brunch.
Mum and I splashed out and had a Long Island Ice Tea each - quite alcoholic, but really refreshing.
Then we drove up to Port Douglas and settled into our holiday house. All very nice, I must say!
The only thing missing is not having our beautiful oldest daughter Torie and her boyfriend Nick with us, but she is doing so well with her job at the bank that she didn't feel she could get away right on the Financial Year End. Maybe next holiday?!
