What a day! Julie, Gillian and I went on a road trip! Our very own independent unguided tour! So much fun!
We hired a tiny little blue car who we called sheila - she was quite a mover though i tell you!
We woke at 7ish Saturday morning and left Cairns at 8am. We drove the whole coast line north up to Cape Tribulation which is the furthest point on the East Coast you can drive to on the East Coast without needing a 4X4! It is also where rainforest meets beach which meets the Barrier Reef, it was so amazing!
The day started off by visits to beaches, Gillian is photo mad so at every stop she was snap happy! We went to Yorkie's Knob, Clifton Beach, Kewarra Beach, Palm Cove, Thornton Beach, Cape Tribulation Beach, Port Douglas and.....I'm sure there was others but I can't remember them all now!
We sidetracked from our beach tour only for brekkie Petrol (where I overflowed the tank! No safety click catch thingy here!) and dinner. We had planned to stop by a Coles on the way home to get burgers and have abarbie on the beach (cos they ahve amazing barbie facilities on all the beaches here!) but it seems that supermarkets close at about 5pm on a saturday so the barbie has been moved to today. Still went to the beach and saw all the stars though ... lovely.
We were hoping to go swimming at some of the beached but the day went so quick we just didn't have time.
We all had such an amazing day, I couldn't believe how fast it went! Then.....at 4.15am the alarm went off, Zoe left us today to take a job in the NSW snowy mountains. As we had the car we drove her to the airport. The mean man wouldn't let us stop and leave the car in the drop off bit (i don't imagine we looked like terrorists - we were still in our pyjamas!) so it was a quick goodbye and then back to bed.
Today has been some sunbathing (or sunbaking as they call it here) by the lagoon and now some photo loading. Got out barbie on the beach tonight too so we'll probably head to the shops soon for that.
Still having a lovely time but missing you all too xxxx
