Mango Lagoon, Cairns - Let it rain, this'll do nicely!

Wow – the temperature difference on arrival in Cairns was vast. Is about 30+ degrees and very humid. Lovely sunshine when we got here, and now settled into a lovely apartment for a week’s  relaxation and a bit of an explore  in between tropical storms. As you can see……..



 
…….this place is lovely, so don’t worry too much if we have to put our feet up and catch up on a few books because of the rain
And with this apartment, we can catch up with some home cooking for a change

Last night’s menu was:
Brushetta with spinach, feta and cashews;  then
Pan-fried Nile Perch fillets spiced with chilli, garlic, & cumin;  and a few veg

And today, after a day spent taking it easy, doing a few lengths in the pool,  and exploring the local beaches, Ricardo is about to try his hand cooking! On the menu tonight: some very nice Porterhouse Steaks with a nice salad,  after a few huge local prawns. Yum.

Tomorrow we’re booked to spend the day on the reef.  Can’t wait
