The Honeymoon

Here's the run down of our lovely warm honeymoon in sunny Pt Douglas..

Day One - Monday

After flying from cold adelaide to sunny cairns we took a shuttle bus to Pt.Douglas and tried to take in the fact that we had just become newly weds!
We felt instantly welcome when we arrived at our luxurious accomodation.. The Treetops Resort. Thanks Bozo. 
Once we found our gorgeous room.. we decided to talk a walk down Four Mile Beach.. beautiful!
We even had time for a play..
woohoo
God was definately smiling sunshine down on us while we were away! Beautiful weather!
On the way home Kylie discovered something hanging in the electrical wires-"hey clint, those shoes look like a dead bat" ...
Clint has a closer look, thanks to the zooms lens.. and much to Kylie's dismay and Clints delight "It IS a dead bat!"
Kylie lost her appetite.. but Clint was more than happy to enjoy a meal.
This one was on the Ritchies :) Thanks guys!

Day Two - Tuesday

The sun continued to shine and we decided to simply relax, as we didn't have a wedding to plan anymore!
We were pretty stoked with our choice of resort! We lay down by the pool and just relaxed :)

niiice!

We also enjoyed a couples massage *no photos available* :)

Then we went for a wander to the town. Clint showed me all the spots he enjoyed last time he went to Pt.Douglas with out me.

St.Marys Church by the sea.. cute!

We tried to find Jessica Watson.. but she was probably writting a book or something.
The day just stayed light and warm it was awesome! Couldnt get over our beautiful resort either ;) jealous yet? You should be!

Before we knew it.. it was dinner time.. so we went to a local spot that the massuse reccommended.
Yumm! Tasty Fresh Local Fish!

Day Three - Wednesday

We went on a Cruise.. we picked the perfect day! No wind!
This is the island we sailed to..
And this is where we went snorkelling! (Low Isles)
Oh yeah thats my hunky husband!
We bought an underwater camera, so we have taken photos of the Reef and us underwater but they are yet to be developed!
Once again.. Clints appetite doesn;t go astray
bye bye island.. thanks for a wonderful day!
What a beautiful place


We had a $130 meal voucher to use at Treetops.. so we paced ourselves and ate as much as humanly possible
that was just the 'bread' now on to the entree!

Did someone say Crocodile Springrolls?? hmm interesting
now on to the main
Kylie not impressed with the service.. where is our dessert?? We paid for this free meal and we're not leaving til we get it!
I dont think I can fit it in though!
Day Four - Thursday

We headed into the town and it was a lovely day for a Clintylie Photoshoot!

All that posing made me hungry..

Day Five - Friday
A beautiful day for a walk!
We headed off down the road to the Wildlife Habitat YAY!

A pretty little path..
lets walk down there!

or not!!
theres bats.. and with bats.. comes.. BAT POO!!
we decided to take alternate path so we didnt get pooped on!
We arrived at the Wildlife Habitat and enjoyed "Breakfast with the Birds"
Yes, its juice.. and yes I really did marry this man!!
we enjoyed eating breakfast with the birds all around us.. and moved on to see the animals.. like this little fella..
lucky they taped her mouth shut!
We went on a tour through the rainforest. Clint was very good at pointing out birds :P
he seemed more excited about what came out of the birds bottoms tho!
Kylie on the other hand enjoyed talking with the birds
Isnt he a good bird posing for the camera..
yes we're getting fancy with the photos again ;)
I know its not in focus but it looks cool!
man I loooove birds!!
Gotta love these guys hair do!
I didn't have much luck with feeding the wallabies and kangaroos..
Clint on the other hand.. made a new friend!

So we said goodbye to the wildlife habitat.. and you think we'd be exhausted.. but no somehow we managed to hire some bikes and go bike riding for the afternoon!
yay!

I feel another Clintylie photoshoot coming up..


We went riding up and down hills and along Four Mile Beach! That was pretty cool!
Clint was in his element!
We check out another classy resort
We managed to have enough energy and gutso to climb up to a look out to see this view of the beach..
then it was 'home' time to relax
Day Six - Saturday

Our last day in Paradise :( but we made the best of it.. and headed back in to the town

we enjoyed our last fav lunches
Veggie and Lentil Burger
and...
the yummiest scrummiest salad in the world!!!!!!!!!! yum japanese/sushi salad!
waiting to order our final dinner at the Treetops
what are u gonna have clint?
I'm gonna have the veggie stirfry again (aww isnt he so cute!)

Final Day... Sunday

We left treetops bright and early and spent the day at the cairns airport as they delayed and then CANCELLED our flight.. so we hung around in lines for HOURS!

and what better to do when ur bored in a line at the airport?
after a long day of waiting.. we were taken to our accomodation and informed that the next available flight wasnt until TUESDAY!
oh well at least we got nice accom!

Monday

We just chilled for the day and then had a nice meal at dinner time-yay for the salad bar

Tuesday

We prepared to go home once again

hehe yum yoghurt!

Well we finally made it home.. welcomed by Clints parents, Kylies mum and Jessie.. thanks for welcoming us home :) and thanks Mum and Jess for setting our room up so that we came home to this..

Thanks!

Well.. the official honeymoon is over.. back to reality now! It was lovely while it lasted :)
