Cairns, Great Barrier Reef

We’ve spent the last two days hanging around in Cairns. It’s a quaint, quiet little city. I’m assuming it gets much busier during the summer months.

There’s a beautiful waterfront promenade that runs thru the whole length of the city that we walk down every day. During low tide, the water is WAY out - crazy how far out.

The city has so much for its residents - sports courts, sand volleyball every night, the free lagoon pool, a night market that goes in daily with ALL kinds of food and things for sale. It’s a really special city and been really enjoyable just bumming around in.

Jordan has come down with an infection in her fingernail so had to go experience the Australian medical system - not too bad, even without insurance. $60 to see the doc and $35 for the prescription. They have stores her called “Chemist warehouses”. I guess they’re our equivalent to a pharmacy, but basically carry anything you’d need for your body in one place. They’re everywhere, and are identical in every city, which is convenient.
