Day 57-62 - Port Douglas

As a surprise, Dad booked us into Beaches at Port Douglas so we left the caravan at Innisfail checked in to our apartment.

Everyone was very excited about going to Shakes - our favourite ice cream shop. Henry has tried 12 different flavours. Will only has choc mint swirl and rarely cookies and cream. Liv has cookies and cream and mint about the same.

Dad dug a big hole and buried us in the sand. It was really fun and extremely sandy. It was hard to breath because there was sand piled on top of us. Will wanted to get out quickly and Henry got out last because he thought it was really fun.

The pool was good fun and it was really warm and the spa was extremely warm on the last day. We climbed on Dad's shoulders and jumped off really high.

We caught lots of crabs on the beach. We dug them up where the holes were and put them in a bucket. Unfortunately, a few didn't survive. One survived even though he was badly wounded, he was very brave, he only had four legs (he was supposed to have 8), one claw and one eye. One kind of crab was very vicious and tried to nip us. Crabs have yellow/orange blood. We let all of the crabs go when we finished with them.

Henry also found his friends Miles and Harry at the beach and went crab hunting with them at the rocks. Henry saw a really big dark green crab which was about one foot long. He also saw a big fish that looked like an eel.
