Last day in Port Douglas

As we prepare to head back to Sydney I reflect on all of the amazing things Port Douglas had to offer.  In the past three days we have accomplished so many activities.  On the first full day here we snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef; also part of the natural wonders of the world and world heritage site.  The second day we visited the Tjapukai Aboriginal Culture center, threw spears and boomerangs, and attempted to play a didgeridoo.  We also visited Hartley's Crocodile Farm and petted a wallaby and a koala, saw a cassowaries.  And on our final day here we rented a car and drove on the wrong side of the road to the rain forest area.  We swam in the river, much stronger than it looked, and played the tourists card while downtown Port Douglas and spent the day walking through shops.  In the evening Taylor, Jimmy and I walked down to four mile beach.  Talk about beautiful!  The ocean actually felt like a bathtub on the surface (probably because the tide was coming in).  Australia is the most beautiful place I can imagine and I will be sad to leave next week.  Our next plane ride is tomorrow morning at 5 am, so we're leaving the hostel at 3am.  Only 4 more flights to get our luggage through.  Lesson learned: pack light!
