A day for exploring the area by bike.

Sandra and Doug hired bikes at an excellent rate of $16 for four hours. We also hired a chariot for Morgan as we thought she would get very worn out running the whole way .Despite the strong wind the temperature  was still quite warm. The ride didn’t start well as we lost John and waited for an hour for him but couldn’t find him. Eventually we headed off without him. Later we found out he had gone ahead and was ahead of us all the way.

We rode down to the creek , along the cycle path, past the Sheraton Resort then down the access track to the beach.

 

 

Morgan was towed by Doug in her chariot and seemed to enjoy the trip. When we got to Four Mile Beach she got out and ran along the shallows. The beach was bordered by coconut palms and the sand was hard and easy to ride along.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped at the Courthouse Hotel for the lunch special of T Bone,  chips and salad for only $12.50  which was well worth the price.

We hired a car for two days then John , Sandra and Doug  drove to Mossman to play golf as a game at Mossman course is half the price of the Port Douglas courses. The course was in excellent condition and Doug said ” the greens were small and fast .”

Happy hour on the boat then we walked five minutes up the road to dinner at Chillys a pizza and pasta restaurant. The tables were all out in the open air amongst the coconut palms and the meals were excellent.
