Monday, February 9. Touch of a sprinkle. 30 C.
Out and at'em at 8:15. Back at 3:15. Too long for this dude I will tell you. At the end of the day we found out why. There is a big ship in port today that has some ugly several thousand passengers on it and beyond the Cairns Tourism Capabilities who were taxed beyond their capacity. Buses, Tourist Trains and Cable Cars. We were on all three.
We started late, had another one hour wait while the Tourist Train was bunged up, and a couple of hundred of us Zandamians cooled our heels at a train station without seating at 30 C .
We had some very interesting conversations with new people that made it easier to take. Today, that seemed to turn into the mission, not sightseeing. The surroundings were neat, clean and tidy and all of the fellow passengers are very well travelled and experienced people. We really enjoyed the whole of the day and the scenery was spectacular. I find the Aussies so easy going that it was almost a pleasure to be with them in what we may consider stressful circumstances but it wasn't, because they made it seem fun!
Too many Pictures today and then I encountered a technical glitch in getting them from my iPhone to my Computer when doing my blog unfortunately, that sort of annoyed me at the end of what would have otherwise been a beautiful day in paradise.
