Sydney Vivid Light Show
We started at the Opera house and walked along circular Quay to the Museum of Contemporary Art, below are the 2 main exhibitions but there were also a few smaller ones on the way! very impressive! I pass the opera house on the train every night after work and every few days the display would change!! ( it gets Dark at 5pm here!!).

Palm Cove
We left Sydney on Friday afternoon and flew to Cairns ( 3 hours from Sydney) it was lovely at hot as soon as we stepped of the plane! it was strange to think we had flown for 3 hours and were still in the same country! We got picked up by the hotel and travelled the 30k to Palm Cove where we spent a great 4 nights.
Palm cove is set on a 5km beach with a small road separating the beach from the row of hotels/ restaurants and shops etc....a small place but had a great feel to it!
We were staying at the Sebal Hotel, was so nice and we were literally a hop and a jump from the beach! Our lovely hotel room
As soon as we arrived we checked out the hotel and then headed along the front where we came across quite a lively bar so we stopped for a bite to eat and a wine or 2!!
Me with my very large chicken skewer!!
Me relaxing on our swing seat the next morning
Ali outside the front of our hotel!
After breakfast we would have a walk along the beach following by a swim as the sea was always so warm...
The beach sign could put you off!!
Then we would head back to the hotel to relax by the poolVia the bar of trust! it was great....
The hotel had 3 swimming pool, hard to choose!
On the Sunday there was little market stalls set up along the closed off street, mostly art work for sale....some really nice pieces!
Me at the start of the markets
The food we had over the whole trip was just amazing.....so we had to take some snaps!!
Ali with his salmon omelet, he had it 3 times!!
The view from our hotel room!
Ali took his new camera so there was about 50 photos of this butterfly...so chose the best 2!We had such a great time away, proper R&R...just what we needed!
