Port Douglas, Australia

Well, we are nearly one week in to our honeymoon and so far we are having a fantastic time. Australia is great. We have had amazing weather the whole time we have been here and everyone we have met have been delightful. Flat Sandy is enjoying herself too and is proving to be a wonderful companion. (For those of you who do not know, Flat Sandy is our traveling buddy, thanks to our cousin Charlotte’s class project.) There is a lot to catch up on so lets get started. We spent the first three days in Port Douglas, a very lovely and hot town on the north east coast of Australia. We had tons of fun exploring the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and Four Mile Beach. We saw lots of critters and cool plants. We also had breakfast with the birds at a sanctuary named Rainforest Habitat in Port Douglas. Here we got to see up close over 100 native birds, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and crocodiles. Flat Sandy’s favorite part was feeding the wallabies. Check out the highlights:
