Hanging out in Cairns

Today was a day of rest. Up late, breakfast at the hotel and a walk up to the City centre. Followed by a walk around the city.

In the afternoon we went to the really excellent Cairns Aquarium. They walk you through the rainforest to the creeks and rivers to the reef to the deep ocean, really well done. Covering frogs and snakes to fresh water fish and eels to salt water fish and the estuarine inhabitants and then the oceans.

We then went for a swim in the hotel pool which was a bit like swimming in a bath it was so warm but still it was refreshing. Then we found another small brewery called Coral Sea Brewing which had a very nice tropical ale.

Dinner was a good seafood restaurant along the esplanade.

Tomorrow out tour starts - looking forward to it!!!!!Read more
