Cairns Day 4

Another morning that arrived and was nice and warm, 19 degrees.

By about 0730, it was time for me to go for a bike ride. I was not sure where to go so I tried a couple of streets but finally decided I would head for the Cairns CBD. As I expected I encountered a lot of morning traffic but thankfully there are marked bike lanes and nearly every vehicle seems to respect that space.

As I past through the CBD, I rode on a few streets that I had not even either driven or walked on. That is the great benefit of riding the bike. On my way back, I diverted to  Portsmith, Port of Cairns, as the USA Navy ship, USS Blue Ridge was docked there. I did notice a few military personnel about. As is common, it is not a great idea to start taking close up photos, even if I could. There was a bit of a barrier to allow full vision. The above link gives a better coverage.

Soon after I arrived back at the Caravan Park, Prue left on the courtesy bus to go and watch a movie in the CBD. She arrived back soon after mid day. Prue had done the washing of sheets and towels.

While Prue was in town, I went to the Stockland Shopping Centre. I collected some items we needed as well as having a cappuccino at Muffin Break. It was quite good. I arrived back a little before Prue.

The afternoon was basically just relaxing.

Later in the afternoon, we went to our fellow Kimberley Karavan owners, Mike and Joan, home where we joined with other KK friends, Len and Sandra. We had a lovely few hours chatting and admiring the view from their lovely home on the slopes to the west of Cairns.

Then it was home for a late takeaway meal, Indian, that we were able to source very close to the Caravan Park. I really did enjoy the nice spicy meal for a change.
