Cairns Esplanade Boardwalk downtown

Saturday, March 11, 2017
Cairns, Queensland, Australia
A bit on the slow side today; either a cold or something else has caused Lois to have totally stuffed sinus headache. Temperature 78-89; like Florida in the summer--very hot and humid.
Great views while cruising into port!
Breakfast on the balcony with great views of boats anchored along the mountains.

Cairns Esplanade
Short walk from cruise port to town. The Esplanade area is very large with a nice boardwalk all along the beach, craft tents, and great park areas for picnicking. No swimming in the ocean here. The community pool is enormous; a huge man-made lagoon. A very popular place with lots of people enjoying this park.
Enjoyed spending time talking with a couple that lives here. The man never stopped talking; lots of interesting info about the development of the area.
On way back walked through Casino; cool entry with a reef movie on the floor and up a huge column; rooftop for city views. Not feeling great; long afternoon nap.
