On to Sydney!

Tuesday, 7:30 AM, February 12, 2008, Cairns, Queensland, AU

Just to spite us, the rain stopped mid-morning yesterday and only spit a couple of other times. Of course, we weren't at the Reef. We were visiting with a couple from Minneapolis, strolling through the shops, and viewing the Art Gallery. That's okay; I'm glad we rested up for the final phase.

We fly this morning to Sydney, get a car, and drive to see my pen pal of 45 years, Julie, and her family. We'll be with them until Friday when we fly home.

And I still haven't for sure seen a kangaroo in the wild. Talk about a tourist ploy!
