We arrived back at the hotel and promptly took a 5-hour nap! I guess you could say that we were a little tired!! We woke up and ventured out to a tapas restaurant/bar called Sapphire in downtown Cairns....

... if that's your thing. A lot of the coral looks brown and battered and as we later found out, Cairns was hit by a very bad cyclone three years ago that damaged large parts of the reef and things are starting to come back.
