Port Douglas is a very manageable although touristy town. We are staying at Port o' Call Lodge, part of the Youth Hostels of Australia system, which has a delightful gourmet cafe. Even had a very good flaminco guitar player on Friday evening, This is our last night, Sunday, October 12th.
From here we took a boat 1 1/2 hours out to the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeling was excellent and I saw so many varieties of coral. And many fishes. (The plural, I have learned means more than one species. Otherwise, if only one species, the proper term is fish, even when seeing multiples.)
Today, Sunday, we first visited the Sunday morning market. Found lots to look at. Some stuff to buy. We then had a scrumtiious late breakfast in an outdoor cafe.
After that we took a road trip to Cape Tribulation, 54 miles to the north. Drove to the end of paved road...after which is 4-wheel drive, dirt. So we turned around. The Cape Trib beach is beautiful white very fine sand....with softly lapping wave. Walked along it for awhile before heading back into Port Douglas.
