The Spirit of Cairns runs lunch, dinner and sunset cruises that are popular with tourists and for special celebrations. They offer a scenic ride with a full buffet and drinks. I really wanted to try it out! So I did!
The buffet included antipasto, quiches, 3 different salads, prawns, fish and chicken among other things...
The boat fit a good amount of people!
And the exterior of the boat had some tables and bean bags for sunbathing and enjoying the view. Also lots of standing space.
(Me standing around on the boat haha...)
Lunch (first plate, it's a buffet so you can get as many helpings as you want).
The drinks they serve.
2nd plate!
All in all I would say the Spirit of Cairns is definitely an amazing time. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time as I did on the boat. Although there was slightly annoying live entertainment inside the dining area. I think it was part of the package of a crew of men and women celebrating a 50th birthday on a table near us. But some of their act was enjoyable nonetheless and the annoyance was counterbalanced by the great food and sunny view.
Thanks for catching up with me!

So I landed in Bangkok last night and I spent my first day today discovering Siam Square and its surrounding areas.
Stumbled across a place called Hello Kitty House by chance!
A funny sign I saw as well while walking hahaha.
Pink traffic cones which were so cool and only made even better by the pink Thai taxis and Tuk Tuk vehicles on the road too.
A tuk tuk of which I rode with Dad to Jim Thompson's house to learn more about Thai history.
You're not allowed to take pictures of the artefacts but here's a picture of a pot in the garden outside.
And a picture of me outside the house as well.
Jim Thompson was born in 1906 and was an American architect who collected Buddhist and Thai art and furniture and made them popularised in the U.S. He disappeared at the age of 61 and what happened to him afterwards is a mystery.
I then did some shopping for an awesome hello kitty shirt and watch--
And here's the resulting outfit of the day:
After doing more shopping and finding circle lenses for only the equivalent of 4 AUD, I came back to the hotel to seek refuge from the heat and we had dinner nearby as well.
All in all a great day in Thailand! Didn't get to do as much as I wanted as I'm jet lagged but we are flying back to Indonesia tomorrow afternoonand then I leave back to Melbourne (home sweet home!) on Thursday...I'll try to fit in a Thai massage before then but maybe not at Miss Puke's.
Thanks for catching up with me! See you next time,
