We woke up this morning, and as promised it was raining - although not very hard - and it was still absolutely boiling. Even worse, it was really muggy. It did have that nice smell though - when it's been hot for ages and then the concrete gets wet.
After breakfast, (I had trusty old Weetabix and Nikki had scrambled egg on toast (which, I have to say, I did NOT know was an option!!)). We went out on a trek in the rain. We started by walking up to the Port Douglas Look-Out, but because of the low cloud couldn't see much. We did find some marks on a tree - and blood stains - and a chocolate wrapper - so we started our own little 'murder investigation'. Nikki decided someone was obviously killed in a row over the chocolate bar!
We were out wandering for a few hours, and when we went into Wendy's (the ice cream place), in town, to use their internet, Nikki had a run in with the woman behind the counter. The lady, Jenny, was really evil and we were fuming about how she'd spoken to us - so we went to another internet café and wrote to the Wendy's Head Office to complain. Not long afterwards someone rang to apologise and said they'd send us some special gift vouchers... yippee - free ice cream!
Later we went back to the hostel and we had some scrambled egg on toast for lunch (it was all I could think about all morning). When we'd gobbled that up, we went out exploring again. This time we went for a walk along 4-Mile Beach. The beach looked really nice, and was quite busy - seeing as it was still raining slightly. We walked for quite a long way (though, not the full 4 miles) and then back into town.
This evening we had another chilli - finishing off the ingredients and then watched some TV whilst writing some postcards for the people at home.
Stupid rain - It was supposed to cool us down - not make things worse... d'oh!
