Day 25: Sun 17 Jun – Port Douglas

19-28 deg C 

After a leisurely Sunday breakfast, we loaded the bikes into the truck and drove to the Wildlife Habitat which is just off the main road into Port Douglas, unloaded the bikes and rode into PD. We did the marina, then the markets (same stuff, different location), then through town and back to the vehicles. 

We were not that hungry on returning to camp, so unloaded the bikes and went to Woolies Mossman. We were both quite tired but just as hungry on our return so had lunch then an LLD. 

Whilst Wendy did some more admin, Greg, G&Y went with Chris and Lynelle to the new prawn farm installation across the road. 

Pre-dinner drinks were had whilst watching a demo of a drone (Wendy will buy one for Greg for Xmas as long as she gets to play with it as well!!)
