Sometimes you just need a break

We went to Cairns for a long weekend and it was just what we needed to slow down, take a deep breath, stay warm and remember the good things in life…

…slow motion old fashioned train rides through the rainforest.

Lazy morning espressos at Coast Roast Coffee on the Esplanade.

Paying $5 to go back in time in Far North Queensland.

Taking a short ferry ride over to a laid back tropical island.

Remembering how good BBQ really is.

After three days of sunshine, relaxing and beautiful scenery, we were ready to go back to a busy week in Brisbane, and even more excited for our longer trip in three months time! Let the countdown begin.
