When you are here you should deffinately drive up to Port Douglas and have a glimpse at the fantastic rainforest. From Port Douglas you can catch a boat ride out to one of the many pontoon's in the ocean. You can go scuba diving, Snorkling and even ocean walking, or go out searching for salt-water crocodiles.

After dragging ourselves out of bed, Rachel and I checked out of the Serpent Hostel just before 10am. While we were loading our luggage back into the car, we tried to figure out what we should do to kill time before we could check in at the hotel in Kuranda after 3pm. We agreed it would be a very relaxed day, since we needed to get used to the heat and humidity and we also didn’t want to be tired for the wedding tomorrow. Our first, and unanimous, decision was to go and get som...

Today we  were going to find Nemo - we were going snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. We arrived at the marina just before 8.30am, and after some initial confusion over where to check in, we boarded our boat, the 'Reef Quest.' It seemed like an organised boat; we signed disclaimers (which in effect made us responsible for anything which might happen to us, which included drowning, being hit by another boat, or by being eaten alive by anything which happened to be swimming by) and...
