Another Trip to Cairns

Cane Sugar in flower

We are sorting out issues with our new to us car

which entails trips up to Cairns

It is a 2 1/2 hour drive not helped

by lots of road works

and this time

pouring rain

But we did find the pool on the Esplanade

tihs time

Right there in town on the waterfront

a free pool

Here you can see one of the life guards

there are no fences and no charge

to get in

what an awesome idea

Course part of the reason is you can't swim in the ocean

this day the tide was out

and you could see the muddy brown bottom

Lunch time saw us at Barnacle Bill's

Though my dining companion

was a little preoccupied 

Even older folk do it

This is a sample of the weather

we have been getting

Grey wet and windy

But not cold

It takes some getting used to.

Car issues still not resolved

waiting on parts

so there will be another trip

North
