We got up early, jumped in a taxi to get to the airport. We’re saying goodbye to Cairns, after 3 full days of summer temperatures and activities.

At the airport, we watched the highlights of the Tour de France while waiting for boarding – of course!

We landed in Newcastle early afternoon, went for lunch and shopping before coming home. Hugo, Tim, Alfie and Matilda were happy to see each other again, played with costumes the whole evening, and watched a movie.

Mike came for dinner: bbq and homemade apple cake. We planned our next day – we’re hoping for nice weather, so that we can go snorkelling in Nelson Bay.
