Back from FNQ

Well we have returned to the cold from beautiful FNQ - love it up there at this time of the year - not too hot and importantly not too humid either.

So we set the alarms for 4.15am on Sunday 16th May (why does that early flight have to be so much cheaper than all rest)our plan leaving at 6.15am.... thank goodness we could drive to the airport cause Matt and Hai Pei could pick up my car later - better than a silly early drive to drop us off I thought

Then we flew to Cairns. Got a great car with Budget (love these guys and Hertz - definitely the pick of hire cars I think) and the Corolla had only done 18 ks...... brand new!

Off to Port Douglas and the Gorgeous Pink Flamingo ....top place have a lookie at the photos .....yummo - and we will stay there again definitely.

Loved the Rainforest Habitat
a must see in Port Douglas

Jabiru - one of my fave birds

Heron - how cute are these feathers

Loved the Beach

Here is Phil at the lookout - beautiful beach!

Loved the little quaint church

St Mary's - apprently 'the' place to get married!

And I even purchased a swimsuit - because I needed a new one and I hadn't bought one for 15 years ( :0 )

Then it was the Chambers Rainforest Lodge - a wonderful place which we went to last year where we enjoyed the wildlife and the peace - bliss

We discovered lots of new things and spent the last couple of days in Cairns at the most awesome B&B Rainforest and Reef B&B - superb - it is for sale if you have the money

Phil went then to visit his Mum and I did the scrap therapy retreat with the girls - such a fun and precious time .... it absolutely rocked..... a wonderful break!

Old friends and new!!

We are back - 2 weeks in a tropical paradise - now back to reality

Cheers
