We arrived in Cairns yesterday and then onto Port Douglas - the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. We checked into our "self catering" accommodations - and it is quite nice. We have a nice room with a small fridge, microwave, sink, etc so we can cook a few things (which is a good thing since food here is out of sight in cost). We have a small courtyard with our own private jacuzzi and after the long plane rides it was wonderful to hop in there to relax. However, it was a bit too relaxing as I feel asleep at 7:30 p.m. and Sam said he was asleep by 9:00 pm (yes, folks you are reading this correctly I did say 9:00 pm)
We flew out of Sydney on Virgin Blue - now think Southwest Airlines and multiply that chaos by 100 and you have Virgin Blue - however, it was CHEAP. (most of you know that and SALE are my two favorite words)
Australia is amazing and how lucky we are to have this time here. I did not realize how vast this country is. It a 3.5 hour flight from Sydney to Cairns and then 1.5 hours on the bus to get to Port Douglas.
Tomorrow is the GREAT BARRIER REEF
