Exploring Cairns...

We've had a great time exploring Cairns and its many wonderful surrounding areas. I'm loving the winter climate here, loving it...yes we've had some wet and muggy days, but if not all, most days turn out to be glorious SUNSHINE!
Spending days by the beach is ALWAYS a happy place for me, and so a little muggy weather can't ruin that! We've enjoyed the beach here and have even been swimming...SHOCK HORROR...it isn't stinger season thank God, and yes there are warning signs that crocodiles could be lurking, however, we have spent days swimming at the beach in between the flags of course and it's been wonderful. The beach water is so warm, near the shore line its almost like a very warm/hot bath, the water is clear, the sand is so fine and fluffy, oh it's sooooooo VERY Beautiful!
Cairns Esplanade...
Love the look of this Greek Restaurant in Cairns (didn't go though)...
Lots of Cairns Markets...
The Cairns Lagoon...
Fun in the Sun with these 2...
..and Fun in the Sun with this SPUNK!
My 2 Beautiful Girls...
There was a recent crocodile sighting at Lake Placid, AARRGGGHHHHH!
Lake Placid...
Lake Placid is a great spot just outside the caravan park for a walk, it even has a restaurant overlooking the lake...it's a beautiful spot!

Lake Placid Tourist Park has a cool little cafe...
I Love the natural surroundings around Lake Placid Tourist Park...
Great swimming pool too...
I Love all the tropical, lush gardens all over Cairns and the Surrounding areas, Love them, just BEAUTIFUL...

Warning: Crocodiles everywhere in Cairns ( ok, ok, this was at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, Haha...however, there are many rivers and waterways that are full of crocodiles, so be careful)...

So we continue to enjoy the beautiful Sunshine, Beach, Pool, Lush gardens and everything Cairns has to offer for a few more days, it will be hard to say goodbye to this place...especially the surrounding areas of Cairns, it really is full of beautiful places like Port Douglas and Palm Cove (more on those in future posts).
I Hope everyone has enjoyed the week so far :-)
Take Care,
