The Rain it Raineth....

I must admit to having my first strop of the holiday this morning. You know it's alright people telling you that 'at least the rain is warm' but it's still wet isn't it? And from 7 this morning it was teeming down. Not fun. Not fun especially as we are leaving at 4.30 tomorrow morning and we were warned yesterday that if the rain gets too heavy the road floods and they have to get a boat out. Really not fun.
But after a grumpy breakfast we got a lift into Port Douglas. And the rain cleared up. As it's rainy season everywhere is very very quiet, which is good. Port Douglas was one street full of funky bars, clothes shops and 'bottle shops'. Great when it's quiet, not so great in the height of the season I would imagine. But we enjoyed it. had a drink overlooking the sea, then came back to Silky Oaks for a a swim in the saltwater pool which is sort of a free-flowing part of the rainforest and pretty cool.
The hotel is very quiet, there only seems to be about 10 of us staying this evening. A meal overlooking the river then an early night - with 'brekkie bags' in the room for us so we don't go hungry tomorrow morning!
