Well it’s safe
to say I’ve had a fantastic week so far! With a week off training I took the
opportunity to head up to Port Douglas with a friend and have a few days
relaxing and enjoying some warm weather and boy did we time it nicely! 30C every
day whilst Melbourne dished out 15C and rain and it made our trip just that
little bit nicer knowing we were missing the bad stuff!
Our days encompassed swimming at Four Mile Beach, lounging by the pool, meandering the Sunday markets, eating fresh seafood and just a whole lot of relaxing and soaking up the stunning weather.
A couple of definite highlights for me was heading to Silky Oaks which is an eco lodge amongst the Daintree Rainforest. A 2 course dinner prepared by a french Michellan rated chef in the open air resturant, just metres away from the Daintree canopy. A stunning meal followed by grabbing a torch and heading down to the rivers edge for some more relaxing on some couches just metre's from the waters edge. So peaceful. It doesn't get much better than that.
Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef is an obvious highlight, we went to 3 different dive sites and they were all spectacular, it's just incredible to see the beauty of nature at work. With an underwater camera in hand we took some incredible photos of the coral and fish and attempted to get some nice photos of us with the coral and fishies!
Another highlight was our 4WD safari out to Cassaray waterfalls. Into the water we went, swum across to the cascading water, climbed the rocks and jumped back in over the falls. So much fun and being pure Daintree rain water it was silky smooth for our skin!
Overall just an amazing trip, so chilled and peaceful but with some fun in there as well!
Here are a few of my happy snaps!
