We arrived in Australia on Thursday, January 19th at 5:30am local time. It was still Wednesday sometime for all of you East Coast people. It had been quite an ordeal, but I'll save that for another post. I just wanted to share some pictures of where we are staying and activities we are enjoying while in the Great Down Under.
Andrew was a bit tired as we left the airport in our taxi to go to our hotel.
Bekah got to sit in the single back seat with all the luggage. She thought it was pretty cool.
Our home for the next 3 days. Tree Tops Lodge Cairns serves as a guest house for the members and guests of Wycliffe and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). This is an incredible place that we are enjoying while we prepare for PNG. We look forward to coming back on vacation during our time in PNG.
Pictures from the taxi as we made our way to Tree Tops Lodge.
View from the playground at Tree Tops Lodge. Can you see why it's named Tree Tops?
Swimming at the pool. It was a bit cold at first, but they quickly got used to it! It is a saltwater pool, so they weren't used to that, but they loved it!
On the playground. Who needs roller coasters when you have a spring see-saw?
Sliding through the trees! It was a lot of fun!
These are little green tree ants that are everywhere. We were told that you could pick the green part off the back and eat them. They have a citrus-y taste. I'll take their word for it!
Our first day was spent trying to NOT sleep, so we could get over our jetlag. We were all in bed before 7:00pm local time. Never had my kids want to go to bed early, even before 7:00pm.
Stay tuned. Next is our parasailing and bumper tubing adventure in Cairns.
Great pictures! The kids enjoyed all of them and all three looked intensely at them while I scrolled through. Mackenzie wants to send an email and we will soon. Praying for you all!
