Being of a certain age, we don't like to rush things, so we flew up to Cairns a few days before we were due to board the ship. This gave us some time to see a few local sights, and to figure out what we'd forgotten to pack - there's always something!
The Esplanade in Cairns has had a huge make-over since we were last here. Lots of new eateries, all seemingly well patronised. The fact that it was school holidays as well as about 10 days before Christmas probably helped with the atmosphere.
Late afternoon at the swimming pool on the Esplanade. No swimming in the sea here due to the potential of salt water crocodiles and nasty jellyfish.
More attractions on the Esplanade.
Yes - a burger and a beer. No - not McDonalds, but still cholesterol central.
Cairns and Trinity Inlet.
