26 July – Saturday
The days just seem to merge into each other and disappear.
A bit cool last night (supposed to have dropped to about 15!) but the most glorious day today – warm (27), clear and no humidity.
We are getting to know that hardware stores in Cairns by now as yesterday we needed a couple of extra metres of hose suitable for drinking water which was purchased at one shop. Then we were directed to another shop to buy the fittings. Today Les was in seventh heaven as we had to go to Bunnings – the vanity basin needed some silicone. Hopefully our plumbing problems are over.
After leaving Bunnings we decided to have a walk along the foreshore, visit the Saturday market (lots of jewellery, tarot readers, hand made soap, etc) and a wander around the shopping district. Apart from lack of cash, there would be no reason for anyone dying of thirst, hunger, lack of swimsuits or souvenirs. There was even a shop called Happy Herbs (we didn’t go in). There are some rather pleasant looking boats in the marina, as well.
We have discovered a small river beside the caravan park, with a path which winds among the jungle on the banks. We have been assured there are no crocodiles. Further along there is a lovely rural estate subdivision with houses on about 1-2 acres of land, room for a pony or two, and a large grassy park area.
