Cairns: Day Thirty-Three (21 November)


It was a beautiful day in Cairns. As soon as we'd finished our errands we went for a walk along the Esplanade (which the locals call the 'nade) to see if we could find a nice fish restaurant for dinner this evening.


We also had chocolate ice cream at the best place in Cairns - Dolce & Gelati - before opting to have a Balinese takeaway at Miss Berry's.

Cairns: Day Twenty-Three (11 November)


Remembrance Day and because it is a short flight from Darwin to Cairns we were able to go to a service at 11am. Afterwards Miss Berry drove us to Port Douglas to see the beautiful four mile beach and walk around the markets.

We had lunch on the seafront and then drove backs to Cairns for a family BBQ at Miss Berry’s, which was lots of fun.

Cairns is in the tropics and is on the edge of the rainforest and it did (rain) just as the BBQ was starting so we all had to move inside. The food was more like an English BBQ too:-).
