Another beautiful day in sunny Cairns. Today my volunteer mate, Pamela and myself took the train to Kuranda. It was a perfect day for Kuranda, blue skies about 28 deg forecast, and less humidity than yesterday. We walked to the station from the hotel and caught the train about 8.30. We spent a relaxing day wandering the markets, admiring the artwork and enjoyed a beautiful lunch at Frogs Restaurant. We stopped for an ice cream before catching the skyrail back down. The skyrail trip is quite spectacular, beautiful views of the rainforest, Barron Falls and river and sweeping views over Cairns and out to see. it was great except for quite a number of minutes when the Sky rail stopped due to a technical problem!! Nervous chatter, jokes about an overnight stay in the rain forest, did we have anything to eat and don't mention the toilet!! and don't move (rock the boat) it was a bit scary, being suspended over the rain forest, the view was spectacular but...... then we started to move again thank goodness. A couple of scheduled stops and we were back on the ground.
I am looking forward to a lazy day tomorrow, nothing planned for me, maybe a walk or some shopping or perhaps just laying by the pool.. i will decide tomorrow.
Friday was busy at work, we then took a detour home via the fruit & vegie market, and the esplanade. I was tired after my first week at work and I had sore feet!!
Til next time...
