Woke up to another storm - dark gray clouds and heavy rain. I really enjoy these rain showers that are so powerful , yet peaceful. And the weather changes within minutes - that saying “Wait five minutes and the weather will change” applies here in Australia.
We decided to spend the day exploring Cairns. Spent some time at the mall and browsing the local market downtown. We went to the public swimming area, called The Lagoon, which is the nicest public pool I have ever experienced. It is right on the bluff next to the water and is built as to look like it flows into the ocean. It has multi-depths of water, though all the outer skirts are shallow for the children. One side of the pool has beach sand. The pool has three lifeguards on duty. There was live music on the lawn - an Indie girls band - which I enjoyed very much as I LOVE live music - it set the mood so sweetly.
Stopped at a Gelato (ice cream) stand and I had Coconut, while the girl had Strawberry. It was a nice cooling treat that I would have ate more of it had it come from my own freezer.
We went back home to the hotel and chilled out by the pool until the sun went down. I could get used to this.
