Tom Hanks in Port Douglas

Unfortunately he's not staying at the YHA with us!

It's beautiful here. Ruth and I are having a wonderful time.
Last Thursday we did a 4K walk which included the Four Mile Beach. The sand is so soft here and the sea so warm and blue- bliss!
On Friday we went snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef. It was amazing to be so close to the colourful fish and corals. We stopped at two different places with a fabulous lunch in between. A brilliant day.
Yesterday we visited Mossman Gorge. Again- beautiful rainforest. We walked the circuit through the rainforest and then cooled off in the Mossman River before enjoying our picnic. I had a swim in 'Norman's Billabong' and it was absolutely freezing.
This morning we have had a wander around the markets. This afternoon we've got to pack up our rucksacks as we return to Cairns tomorrow- just for one night before heading to Mission Beach.
Tonight we're going to the theatre.

My professional photographer is back soon so hopefully a few pictures will appear in the next few days.

Love to everyone,
