Travel Back to Sydney

Today was a travel day back to Sydney for the conclusion of the trip. We got to sleep-in before flying out of Cairns to arrive in Sydney at around 6 PM. We checked-in back at the first hotel we stayed at and then had dinner. Several of us went out to visit two famous and very old pubs—The Lord Nelson and the Hero at Waterloo pub. The Hero at Waterloo pub actually had a basement in which sailors were kidnapped and then put on ships out to sea for forced labor. They would go in for a drink and then wake-up 60 miles out to sea! The Lord Nelson pub is supposedly the oldest pub in Australia. This made for a nice evening before turning in for the night. The picture below is from my hotel room balcony in Cairns.
