Friday we went for a drive to Yorkey's Knob. We had been there years ago with Yvonne. The beach is really nice and it is a great area but there is no caravan park. We had a walk along the beach. We had dinner with Betty and David again, Betty got some Grunter from the fish market in town and we also had some smoked mussels, and for entree we had marinated squid.
Spoke to Betti (Whybrow) before dinner, she leaves for England tomorrow. It was a bit sad saying goodbye to her. It will be strange when we get home and she no longer lives round the corner.

Saturday we went back to Rusty's Fruit market to restock the fruit and vegetables as we are leaving Cairns tomorrow. Whilst we were in the market we treated ourselves to a foot massage - very relaxing.
In the afternoon Betty and I went to the Botanical Gardens in Cairns. The tropical plants are incredible. I have put the photos of just a few on here, there are too many to add them all. The visitors information centre is a relatively new building with mirrored facets which reflect the surrounding tropical bush. It isn't a big building but it is very impressive. We were going to go for a drink along the front after the Botanical Gardens but it was impossible to get a park so we went back to the caravan park and had a drink there. Once again we had mussels and Grunter for dinner and then we had strawberries and ice cream for desert.
