Day six

Hello everyone :-)

Today we've had a lovely day in this wonderful part of the world. This morning we got up early and headed off to "Breakfast with the Birds" at the local zoo which is just up the road from the hotel. It was really great; we had a massive buffet meal accompanied by all sorts of different birds. The lorikeets were the best, they were so cheeky. One in particular decided that he liked my apple juice and kept sticking his beak in it. When I put a napkin over the top of the glass he knocked if off :-) he kept on doing it until he got sick of me putting the napkin back on top and he nipped me then flew away to a more obliging table. After breakfast we walked around the zoo and saw all the animals of Australia including a rather sweet pair of nesting stalks who were tending their nest of eggs. Apparently this is a sight to behold as they are the world's only captive breeding pair of this species. We also bought some kangaroo feed and got to hand feed kangaroos and wallabies (and some cheeky ducks who tried to get in on the action) - they were so cute! One little wallaby had a baby in her pouch he was soooo tiny and cute and lovely!

This afternoon we headed to the beach which was looooovely - so relaxing and nice. We read our books and listened to music and swam in the sea. This evening we had HUGE pizzas in Port Douglas village (and I mean huge - Mark couldn't even finish it) and now we're preparing to leave for Cape Trib in the morning. There'll be no internet up there I don't think so will blog again after the weekend.

Love, M & S xxx
