Cairns and Port Douglas Pics

Our last night in Cairns!  We went out to sushi with our canadian friends Britt and Verona then drank and played cards at the hostel!

On our trike tour of Port Douglas!  Ash won us this trip (a $70 value..haha) because she helped the guy host the toad races!  It was really fun and the driver was so cool!

At the lagoon in Mossman's Gorge...the rainforest in Port Douglas!  We swam here after our hike--there were soo many fish in it, including eels!

Toad-racing in Port Douglas!  They do this nightly at one of the bars using poisonous cane toads (that are a pest in Australia.)  They were cute, but smelled soo bad!

Just jammin' with the mangoes in Port Douglas!  If you've seen the movie Fool's Gold with Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson, it was filmed in this town!

Our thanksgiving feast!!  We were feeling a little sad that we were missing thanksgiving with our families so we rented ourselves a little hotel room with a kitchenette (i.e. a hot plate and microwave) and cooked ourselves mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins from scratch!  We also bought a little stuffed rotisserie chicken and pretended it was a turkey :)  It was delicious! (granted our standards may be lower than usual...)
