Day 14 – Sunday 14th April

Cairns :

Decided against doing 2hr crossing to reef in view of the fact that the crossing was going to be very rough today! Heard later that a couple of our group had second viewing of their breakfast on the way over!. Also after a half hour snorkeling (for competent users) a couple of hours were to be spent at a beach bbq, the thought of which did not endear itself to Alison!

Instead, we took a wander through Cairns, stopping at St Monica’s Cathedral. 24 amazing stained glass windows in this very modern church.

Arrived in time for Palm Sunday Mass. Then listened to a very detailed prerecorded descriptive of the glass. Passed several museums and art galleries, including the City Library.

Cruise liner “Crystal Symphony” arrived at Cairns Terminal overnight, and was easily spotted not far from our hotel.

Back to room for a bit of relaxation then out again this evening for dinner at Dundee’s Restaurant I know we’re in Australia, but do the passion fruit sorbets have to be upside down?!

That’s it for today! To be continued tomorrow!
