We went up the hill, to one of the lookouts, and then strolled along the northern point of the Port Douglas, eventually finishing at the park.  We had some fantastic views of the ocean, and luckily there was even a water fountain halfway, since I hadn&#8217;t brought any water with me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

We went to one of the restaurants we had checked out for dinner, and was maybe 20% full.  We asked if we could get a table for lunch, and they said we have one at 1.30!!!!  We weren&#8217;t waiting 90 minutes when they were so empty right now.  So we ended up at a small cafe, where I had a ham, cheese, tomato and onion toastie and Kaoru had a caeser salad, which I helped her with.  The water we drank was well needed, and we probably had too much, too quickly, so struggled to eat all the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We returned to our hotel and had a siesta for a while.  We made it back to the wharf around 4.00 and booked on a 4.30 sunset river crocodile cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.22.36-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.travlindaz.codersoft.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-01-17.33.46-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A python sunning himself<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No crocodiles.
