FNQ....

We were lucky enough to vist Far North Queensland recently, staying at Port Douglas and Trinity Beach. A very wet (200mls in 1 day wet!), hot and humid stay in a very beautiful part of Australia. Lots of swimming (doesn't matter if it's raining....except if you're trying to read a book by the side of the pool) and ice cream consumption had by all along with many new experiences including the whole family snorkelling in the Coral Sea! A great way to spend my birthday....without having to clean up after a party!(Warning photo heavy!)
Day 1....hit the pool!

Joe on the hunt for exotic Queensland fruit. He got the taste for something that we had at the Sheraton on the night of my birthday and spent the rest of the time searching for it! R and Joe getting ready for the first snorkel of the day. (It's hard to smile with that thing in your mouth!)Now it's L's turn!
