Port Douglas - Day One

G'day! Well I'm hearing that you guys have a bit of snow over there! Ha ha ha ha ha! I hate the snow. If it makes you feel any better it is raining here. It's the tail end if a triopical storm. However, it's 30 degrees and I'm sitting on one of my three patios/verandas typing this and my glasses are steaming up because of the rain!

The flight from Ayre's Rock to Cairns was good. I bagged a window seat again and at the emergency exit so loads of leg room. It was dark when I arrived and wet, but first impressions of Cairns were that it reminded me of Florida. The heat in HK was like the UK. The heat in Sydney - and I still have burns, seriously - was like the med. The heat in Ayre's Rock was intense a dry heat. Here at Port Douglas, even though it's like a monsoon at the moment is very, very warm and sticky. It's lovely just sitting here, in shorts typing this and watching the rain just drench everything. It just smells delicious.

It's a good job I met Meg the wombat in Sydney as the zoo I was going to visit is miles away, so not going to bother. There is a bus service into town so will catch that later. I did nothing yesterday just sat in the shade reading, I was so tired. I'm really getting good at relaxing again.

Just checked e mails and the solicitor informs me that the move is on for Thursday 4 April. So all help needed over Easter. I am going to hit the ground running but hey it's all going to be fine; I like my new life!

The first picture is the view from my apartment. I am living in a two bedroom apartment. I want to stay here forever! It has two showers, two toilets, cooker, dishwasher, oven, tumble dryer (as if you need it), washing machine so doing all my washing lol. Two tvs, stereo with I pod docking lol, table, chairs sofa lol, utility room. Here are some photos! Why I've got such a huge place I don't know, I've checked twice lol as I get free breakfast too and I wasn't expecting that either. OK off to explore. Sleep well, love you xxx
