Cairns Continues

Friday, 23rd August








Thursday morning, the clouds started to build up – as did the humidity! The morning was spent quietly, catching up with laundry, housework, etc. After lunch, we headed to the boys’ toy store (Masters) to look for some replacement hinges for a couple of hatches in the caravan. However, I think the main reason was to look and drool, as we didn’t buy any hinges! We continued on to the Lagoon, where one of us sat and sipped a coffee (and admired the “scenery”) while the other conducted a bit of retain therapy. Then – shock, horror – we discovered the ice cream lady had closed the shop for a short period.  :-(

Today, Himself saw the sunrise again (the second time this year) as the Pajero needed to be at Mitsubishi by 7.30 am for a replacement seal – something to do with the power steering. As this took most of the morning, we waited until the afternoon to return to Cairns for our weekly supply of fruit and vegetables, some purchases from Lenards Chicken and then a walk along the Esplanade. With the Cairns Festival due to commence tomorrow, workmen were busy setting up the Lagoon area with tents, etc – and very pretty lanterns, flowers and insects decorating the trees. More importantly, the ice cream shop was open!!!

The weather continues very overcast and humid but is supposed to clear in the next couple of days.
