Last Few Days in Cairns

After what has been a busy few days touring, we spent Saturday bumming around by the pool and spending a few hours in delightful conversation with Jon and Tegan.  A really nice 'vacation' day where we had no agenda, didn't have to get up early, and copious amounts of Bundaberg (Red!  Thanks Chris) was consumed.

The next day we headed out to Port Douglas to get a view of another Australian town, see some shops, Four Mile Beach, and Mossman Gorge where we had a nice cool swim.

Four Mile Beach is Four Miles long

I'm hesitant to keep typing, as we know that we've barely scratched the surface for things to do and see in Australia and trip is winding to a conclusion.  To be honest the concept of completing this journey is not something we hold in very high regard.

When we got back from our touring, we had a picnic on the beach consisting of fresh-caught prawns (3KG worth!), mud crab, and local fish-and-chips.  How very Australian for the conclusion of our Cairns leg of the journey.

Bam!

3KG of fresh prawns.  Jon ate most of these.

Next up is Sydney for a couple of days before heading home.  Not sure about internet access going forward, so the next post might be bleary-eyed from an Airport lounge or upon our return.
