Day 9:
After a week of driving up the coast from Sydney to Brisbane, we finally gave up the car and tried something new. Another early morning, but this time a trip to the airport as we were flying to Cairns. Other than the random insanity that is air-travel these days, the flight was uneventful. We had some time to catch up on post cards, do some reading and generally just sit still for a couple of hours.
We arrived in Cairns and due to some construction, a lot of the airport is now outside. But that was OK as the weather was awesome! It's warm, breezy, and while the humidity is up now, it's expected to drop again as the week progresses.
Our itinerary makes a specific point that days we fly have nothing else scheduled on them. This means that when we arrived at the hotel around noon, we had nothing else to do. We got a light lunch, lounged by the pool, walked down the esplanade, and just generally did nothing. After a week of constant movement, this felt like heaven. The rest of the week is fully booked with SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and rainforest exploration though, so we made sure to enjoy it.
Jill Update:
I think Jill needed this day off even more than I did. Things are going well between us, but a day off by the pool certainly helped everyone's mood.
