Mount Alexandra Lookout

This lookout suffers from a similar problem to many Australian lookouts - a bit overgrown so there is only a very limited spot where you can admire the view, and of course everyone is clambering to get a photo

Beautiful tho!!!

The Little Larder

Out for a drive, we've stopped in Port Douglas for breakfast - at the Little Larder cafe

Food is actually quite reasonable!

Flagstaff Hill

Lookout over Four Mile beach, Port Douglas

Reef House

Dinner tonight at Reef House spa & restaurant. It was ok, altho pretty expensive - 6 out of 10, if we had to give it a rating. 

Meals were warm. The menu sounded great, but execution was a bit lacking. I had quail with pumpkin purée for entree, but it really needed more puréeing before it was done

We both had risotto for mains - I had prawn, Reid had duck - but there was just way too much risotto, and again luke warm

Choc Dee

Dinner at Choc Dee Thai Restaurant 

Deb: good?

Reid: yep

Beer in a stubbie holder

But no seriously, the food was pretty good - consistent!! Yeah, consistent. Better than last nights "fusion" dinner

Peppers resort

And yes! That is a swim up bar!

Cairns

We're off on a winter break in the sun. After a 6am flight we've arrived in Cairns for a quick breakfast at the Lagoon Vue cafe before heading to Palm Cove. 

Food was ok...
