Cairns

We have just returned from a 10 day visit to home, or holiday from the holiday. Dad had his bladder surgery so we visited for the surgery and his initial recovery period. We also managed to attend Courtney’s 21st Birthday party, be home for Liv’s birthday and have a night out with some friends. It was pretty much an on the spot decision to return home so we booked a Friday night flight and left Port Douglas at about 2pm to drive to Cairns. We left the car and van with the mechanic who was working on the van and Uber Ed to the airport. Unfortunately after checking in our flight was cancelled. But that meant we had a night at the Rydges resort in Cairns. We very much enjoyed a spacious room, showering without thongs and use of a bath mat. The simple comforts are much appreciated after using caravan park amenities for 3 months😌 I was also able to have room service and watch the Dees win the last game of the home and away season. ❤️💙

It was great to see family and friends again and catch up in person. Thanks Liv and Jordan and also Tan and Deb for fun nights out. It was lovely to have mum staying with us and visiting Dad most days. I also managed to see my aunties in Mornington😀. The 10 days flew by with Jamie even getting some face to face work time in. With Dad looking and sounding much better, after several lessons in stoma care and the cold wet weather retuning to Victoria, we felt it was time to be reunited with our caravan and warmer weather. Even though it is raining today, we are not cold. 🤣🌴☀️.

Back in Cairns for the past 2 days and a catch up with cousin Claire, Kyra and Belle. Today we hit the road again, although only plan on travelling a short distance depending on if we can get a site at Ellis beach. Time to pack up the van, unfortunately in the 🌧 ☹️Read more
