The short holiday...

Three nights in Cairns.
From the Mantra motel balcony...
Watching a cruise liner come into port over breakfast on the same balcony...
Down at the port for a closer look that afternoon...
Mr E unsuccessfully tries to get us on to the ship...
My favourite, the Flame Tree...
Local transportation...
Blossom finds the Games Workshop store...
 
 (Mr E passed on a love for painting miniatures to Blossom and Sam...)
Coffee...always looking for coffee...
 
Waiting for more coffee...
Cairns is colourful...
...and quite alternative.
I LOVED Fusion Organics for their fresh organic meals, juices and dairy...will be going there again as soon as I can get my beloved to take me on his next working trip to Cairns. ;-)
 
 Blossom and I walked all day Thursday because there are so many interesting shops in the small CBD. That afternoon after Mr E finished work we walked down to the windswept Marina...
...and down to the CBD.

I caught up with Rosalie for breakfast on Wednesday at Candy, but totally forgot to take pics because we talked so much!
Friday morning it was time to leave. Too short a stay. :-(
Home via Innisfail...
...and Tully. 
As you can see, green tree frogs are huge up in the tropics! ;-)
So, 8 hours in the car (4 hours each way), was the only time I stitched...
Maybe I'll get it finished this week. I hope so!
