We were meant to have a day in Cairns on Wednesday followed by a day in Port Douglas on Thursday. Paul and I have both been to both places, so we didn't book any shore excursions - the idea was just to wander around and look at the shops etc.
High point was meant to be dinner at the Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse in Cairns. And it really was a high point - good service and great food. Got back to the ship to receive a message that we weren't going to Port Douglas due to the weather - this ship can't dock anywhere at Port Douglas and the wind was going to make it too dangerous to use the tenders. So, we stayed in Cairns overnight. The weather on Thursday was overcast and really humid, with occasional rain, so I just had another walk around town and then Paul and I went to the casino. Came out a few dollars ahead too!
Leaving at about 6pm tonight - out to Willis Island to make it legal for the duty-free stores onboard to open, and then straight back to Brisbane.
