No need for the duvet overnight!

Woke to a sunny dawn and watched the tree ants wandering along the decking and gekos warming themselves in the sun.
Showered and had buffet breakfast around 09:00 and chatted to till 11:30.

Headed down the road towards Cairns and up into the hills to see the Barron Falls.
Then had strong local coffee in Kuranda and wandered around for a bit - a humid 32 degrees.

Decided to have dinner in Cairns at PJ O'Briens where we spent Melbourne Cup Day a couple of years ago.
Got there at 16:00 but was too early so went back down the Esplanade and purpose built swimming lagoon.
Filled up on a fab steak, chips and salad at the Rattle and Hum, then wandered around the Marina before heading home around 18:15.
It was dark as I drove home to the tune of tree frogs calling across the road trying not to squash any of the local pest: cane toads.
Back without incident at 19:00 - just in time for more cocktails 😉
Rain in the offing...

Cairns
Well enjoy the sun while you can. Its still freezing cold and to continue over Easter Oh what a gas bill. You do know there is a weight allowance at this rate you could be over the top with all this eating. Have you booked wider seats coming back????? Great photos. Daisy sat on my knee looking at her favourite.
