SHE
SAID:
Geoff
& I drove to Cairns to collect Daniel, who was flying in from
chilly Canberra for a week's visit.
I
had a 90 minute walk around the lower Botanic Gardens, the part I
didn't do last time we had time to spare in the city. Geoff had a few
chores to do in town.
Once
Daniel got off the plane his first job was to change from Canberra
woollies into shorts, t-shirt & thongs. He could immediately feel
the warmth, though Geoff & I were cool!
We
stopped at Mena Creek on the way back so I could do a night tour of
Paronella Park; they light up the waterfalls & ruined buildings &
I was keen to get some photos.
Geoff & Daniel were equally keen
for beer.
WIN WIN.

HE SAID:
I had been looking forward to Dan's visit, so heading to the pub for a beer and a chat was a good idea of Varena's. We even managed to show him a snake on the side of the road on the way back to the house, just to remind him that he is not in the city any more.
