Pt. Douglas, to Cairns to Melbourne May 1, 2011


It was a beautiful and warm morning as we left Pt. Douglas. Since we were not in a hurry, we were able to stop at various overlooks (they were on our side of the road) on our way to the airport. At one spot, we encountered parasails and hang gliders getting ready to take off; the cliff was quite high at this point. The driver of our bus to the Skyrail told us this was a popular spot to set off and on a good day, you could soar as far as the beach at Pt. Douglas. We waited quite a while, but no one took off. We continued to the airport. A full flight to Melbourne, with many screaming children. We were followed onto the airport bus into town by one of the screamers. We were glad for the silence of our hotel room.
