I had an overnight flight from Tokyo to Cairns and arrived early in the morning, too early to check into my hotel. I wandered around and discovered the Esplanade. It is a walk way along the coast with art, exercise, entertainment, a beach/pool area, places to eat and shop. It's hard to describe, but a great place to spend time.

Did you bring some stitching?
Hi Pamela great pics,hope you have an awesome time in Australia xx
I've been looking forward to reading about your time in Australia's far north.
If you are interested, the bird with the yellow face is a masked lapwing, and the black and white one is a magpie-lark (although it has lots of different common names around the country). The pelicans are just called Australian pelicans.
I hope you have pleasant days with a fine weather. I do not know when this abnormally sweltering hot weather will be over in Japan.
I like all the sculptures there! The metal fish are great. I wonder how much the glare was on them though.
Man! You sure get around. I am so happy for you to be able to travels so much. I was thinking that you hadn't mentioned your health. I guess that is going well.

A nice mixture of nature, culture, sport and adventure awaits visitors to the Esplanade.
What beautiful territory you have visited and what remarkable birds! I think this is just the start of a fabulous vacation!
Looks like a great place to kill some time. I hope you were not too tired after your overnight flight!
