With beautiful clear, blue skies on Sunday, we headed north
once again along the Captain Cook Highway to Port Douglas – this time to meet
up with Kathryn, Laura, Tye and Millie.
This was the first time we had met my great-niece.
Unfortunately, the same people who have been following us
all week also followed us to Port Douglas and the weekly market.
To say that parking spots were at a premium
would have been an understatement!
However, the market was well worth visiting, with lots of interesting
stalls to keep our shopaholic grandson happy – his grandfather even bought
himself a man bag to complete his tropical ensemble.
We joined the others for lunch before a walk
along Four Mile Beach and a swim at the Paradise Links Resort.
When we returned to the caravan, quite a deal
of effort was put into opening the coconut that Jack found on the beach.
Unfortunately, we discovered the actual
coconut had started to sprout and the liquid had turned into a rather strange
spongy consistency.
The weather today was just as nice, perfect for Jack’s
Flowrider experience.
The Flowrider is
at the Tobruk Memorial Pool, the tropical home of the Australian Swim
Team.
After having all the legal
disclaimers signed and receiving instruction on how to ride, Jack had thirty
minutes to hone his wave riding skills – and didn’t do too bad a job of it,
either.
Ten minutes after his rides had
finished, there was a large power failure in the area and all the water
disappeared (as well as the very loud music!).
We collected Kathryn from the centre of Cairns; she will be staying at
Crystal Cascades for the next few days.
