Day 58: Port Douglas - Cairns

We were very sad to leave Port Douglas. We liked it a lot, so far it is probably my favourite place. I loved the small town community feel and the added bonus of having fresh faces every day. Port Douglas is predominately a honeymoon and diver destination, they are generally not too much of a rowdy bunch.

We spent a lot of time this morning in Bundarra Gallery choosing some paintings. After much deliberation we finally chose a panel by Peter Overs and two squares, plus six small A5 and a couple of A4 canvases. Quite a productive morning.

The only down sides of Port Douglas we found were:

1) Oly was eaten alive, alive-o by mozzies. That put a huge downer on it for him. If I ever have to locate him I just follow the Bushmans or Tea-Tree scent.

2) It was so expensive to eat out and the food was mediocre. I am sure you all gather Oly and I are real foodies and are only too happy to spend a lot on a meal, providing it is good. We keep on going back to the Waterbar & Grill in Cairns because the steak is exceptional, when we deviate from that we are sadly disappointed.

3) Finally, the humidity in Far North Queensland is something to be reckoned with.

So it is bye for now to Port Douglas, maybe see you again soon.
