Monday Night

Well yesterday seemed to be moving slowly from one place of vast food and drink consumption to the next and today was much the same except for a short trip to the Daintree Rainforest.

Sunday Dinner was at Zinc (Clint and Rob are the chefs) the best steak ever. Today lunch at Salsa (Barney is the chef) and dinner at The Shack. Gorgeous pizza place with sand on the floor and just so relaxed and nice etc etc.

One of the main advantages with having a child working for the resort is that you hear things like "Hey Dad - I got Gazza to organise you the private spa above your room".





Of course your child gets most of the enjoyment..










The private spa with Kim, Jen and Nick.

We passed some Suger equipment - for Dad

I get the feeling that he missed the train with this one - but I could be wrong.

























The ferry














The Daintree Rainforest
















Solving the worlds problems..














Really well done walkways etc

















The ferry on the way back












See I was right - harvest time - the sight of the cane fire brought back plenty of memories and half way through the rendition of Lion coming out of the cane fire in Sucoma I got a tired "we have heard this before" simultaneously from Nick and Jen - so the memories were quickly dulled...

Port Douglas Holiday - Nick

Port Douglas Holiday.

As Nick is working for the Sea Temple resort, in Port Douglas, we can get insanely cheap stays, and with frequent flyer flights (book early) - this was an opportunity we could not miss.

So after a hectic week (nearing end of financial year rush) we had a wonderful meal with the Verrans and met Jim and Pixie (although Jim and I agreed gravy would have been nice) we got on the plane and took off at 11pm. The flight was well uneventful - and a flight... Arrived at 5:30am




This is the bus that took us on a fairly extreme trip to Nicks House - no bus stop - they just drop you off at the house









Shows the sun coming up on the drive













A lot of Sugar Cane - must be close for harvesting as we think it gave Jen fairly serious hay fever











We got dropped off at Nicks House. Then went into town by taxi - and had an awesome breakfast and possibly the best coffee ever at Re-hab.









Our room with a view











Another angle.
The first day was a bit of a blur as Jen and I did not sleep a great deal on Friday night.

The evening meal was at the restaurant and Jen had an Atlantic Salmon - that was another "best ever".








A green ant!














No sooner had we arrived in the room and the fridge was being cleaned out, and Jens purse was lighter!

Slept like the dead.
