Hi all
Haven't got much time to update the ole' blog these days but I am currently writing from Coral Sea Beach Apartments in Palm Cove, Queensland. The weather is beautiful here.
The travel with the parents didn't start off that way as Sydney was cold and wet and rather miserable. Still, we managed to do the good tourist spots such as the Aquarium, Bridge, Opera House, Ferries to Manly and from there a bus to the North Heads. I also managed to pop in a spot of a shopping with the mother whilst other one (pops) went to do his typical battleship tour... he loved it :) We were staying in Drummoyne for the first few nights of our Sydney travels and although lovely and owns an amazing Fish n Chips resteraunt, it is a little far out for a short stay, a lot of waiting for buses and ferry catching... still beautiful. We then stayed in Haymarket, near Chinatown in Capitol Square Hotel, super central, great price and amazing views, um if you book a slightly more expensive room than we did, hehe! Still a good time was had but we are all pleased to have sunshine, humid temperatures and almost empty beaches.
We only landed in Cairns yesterday, a 3 hour plane journey from Sydney... I can't imagine what a drive here would be. The apartment we are staying in is beautiful, spacious and has a real homely feel to it... the couple who run the apartments or have done for the last week only, Rhonda and Chris, are great. Rhonda keeps adding to a list of things I should be doing in order to spot 'fit and single aussies'... already love her! ;) We have a pool and spa which is great for people who don't want to get eaten by sharks, ie ME!!! But a parading beach session is essential in a place like this.. mother has already spotted the local single talent, or maybe not talent but definitely single for sure.
Anyway I'm off to finish my cheese and tomato sandwich, oh yes, exotic I am... missing Cowra and the crew but enjoying the laziness, shopping, travelling and seeing more of this stunning country which I really hope one day I can all home.
Hope you are all well. Photos of Sydney coming soon....
