Cairns

Our last day of the holiday was spent exploring Cairns - quite a small city and lots more international tourist compared to Port Douglas.  The waterfront area is a nice walk, with lots of bars and restaurants taking advantage of the views, along with the high rise international chain hotels.





The esplanade has its own swimming pool which is a popular cooling off spot for the locals and tourists.







The trees near our hotel are full of fruit bats, squeaking away during the day then taking to the skies at dusk.







The afternoon hours were spent by the hotel pool making the most of the sunshine and the cocktails from the pool bar :o)
