The weather continued fine, sunny
and clear for a couple of big days this week.
First up, my birthday was celebrated on Tuesday and not only did I have
a sister present, but my son and his family, together with his parents-in-law
were expected as well. They have been
cruising the Queensland coast and but pure coincidence, happened to be in
Cairns on Tuesday.
Although the ship arrived at 9.00
am off Yorkey’s Knob, it was 11.30 am before they were able to disembark, after
queuing for two and a half hours. We met
them at the boat club and took the boys with us while the four adults caught
the bus into the centre of Cairns. We
enjoyed lunch at Barnacle Bill’s, including a surprise “cake” of dessert
profiteroles, complete with candle and singing.
This was the first time for many years that I have had a family birthday
– so nice. I was also very lucky in receiving some very nice presents, including a handmade bracelet and necklace from my grandsons.
With the cruise ship moving to
Port Douglas overnight and David, Shan and Jack planning on a snorkelling tour
of the Great Barrier Reef, we drove north to collect Aidan and Shan’s parents
and spent the day at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures. Aidan was very keen to have his photo taken holding a crocodile (although he did think hard about the snake!) and to know who tall a cassowary was. Unfortunately, the cassowary wasn't the least bit interested in getting to its feet. The highlight of the day seemed to be the
inland taipan doing a great big poo during the snake show!
This morning, with clear skies
still and the temperature hovering about 28 degrees, we farewelled Kathryn as
she returned home to -2 overnight temperatures.
