Cairns

We returned to the Lagoon and lay in 29 degree heat as the Sunday crowds gathered around us on the grass. The smell of cooking meat on barbecues caught the air and drifted with the jingle and beat of live music from a nearby gazebo. Children cartwheeled whilst parents discussed play dates and the price of food at nearby restaurants.

Perhaps it is the climate, our length of stay or the quality of our hostel but the week in Cairns has definitely felt like a small holiday all of its own within our big adventure. We were in need of such a stay when we arrived dusty and tired from near constant travel. Now recovered and repaired we are ready to be on the road once again.

Here are some photos from the week that there was not room for on previous postsLäs mer
