This was our last day in Cairns, and, being the only Sunday of the trip we would be in a city and not travelling, we decided to pay a little visit to the local church, in the form of the Salvation Army. A lively, non-traditional service, we even had a wee song in the language of Papua New Guinea, and as always enjoyed a wee cup of tea (or diet coke in this case) after the service. We were greeted warmly by the congregation and it was a very pleasant way to spend Sunday morning. On the way back to the hotel, in a slightly less traditional fashion we stopped by the shops to buy Attenborough his latest technological must-have, a keyboard for the ipad (making this blogging stuff a whole bunch easier). By this time it was early afternoon and time for a last afternoon at the pool. Dinner this evening involved a quick visit to a kind of food court on the sea-front, it was buffet style Chinese with lots of seafood. A quick dash round the night markets and then it was back to the hotel to Skype team McKinley to wish Averil a happy birthday. Then all that was left to do was pack up our stuff (no mean feat) and get ready to fly to Melbourne in the morning to begin the next leg of the adventure. Jen and Paul have the washing machine ready!
