This was our third week in Cairns with two more to go. This week, Dad had two new students from Adelaide join the course (just for this week to learn about the engine of this plane). On Wednesday, Garth, another QAC instructor, came up to teach the avionics theory portion of the course to the two guys who Dad has been teaching all along and Dad took the two guys from Adelaide and did the practical portion of the engine with them. For the next two weeks, Dad will be working again with the original two students and they will be doing the practical part of the course.
I continued on at the gym and went to all six classes. The Wednesday 'Body Pump' class was really difficult and if that had been my introduction to it, I might not have gone back. However, Friday's class was better, so I will stay with it. I am glad that there is a really good gym near where will be staying in Brisbane for seven weeks starting two weeks after this course ends so that I can continue on with my fitness goals. Too bad my two friends I have made here can't come with me to Brisbane. 😀
Yesterday, Dad and I went for a walk along the foreshore of Cairns. It was such a beautiful walk - it was a lovely warm day and there were many people out and about down by the water. No-one was in the water - it was low tide, but also there are stingers and crocodiles around. The city has built a great area down by the water which has a large wading pool, play area and cafes. We enjoyed our time out in the sunshine.
We booked a cruise this week for our 60th birthdays. It's on a cruise line we haven't been on before (P & O), so we'll see how it goes. It's going up the east coast of Australia and we've already been to the places it will dock at, but we aren't going for the destination, we're going for the relaxation.

The wading pool (they call it the Lagoon) so people can swim in it without worrying about stingers and crocodiles
Our 'end of the month treat' - another helping of 'Death By Chocolate' - so good - mmmmmm!!!
