5/12/2012: Great Barrier Reef Part 1

We left Melbourne today – a 6:00 a.m. flight no less – flying to Cairns, from where a limo took us to Port Douglas.  The flight, approximately 1,800 km, is approximately the same as from Houston, Texas to Providence, RI.

AUS 006

We’re at a pretty posh resort, largest swimming pool I’ve ever seen, although 5 km from town.  After the travel, lunch and a grocery shopping spree in town, we relax at the pool.  We’re here for three days, but only one is planned for the reef.  Tomorrow, the rain forest.
