Freedom

Today I finally got my cast off! I’ve been waiting for this day for almost 8 weeks since I first broke my arm. We went to the Cairns Base Hospital and ended up spending most of the day waiting for doctors and final x-rays. It feels so good to finally have it off and move my wrist around freely. Now that the cast is off, we decided to book a day tour to dive at the Great Barrier Reef out of Port Douglas for tomorrow, so I can finally experience scuba diving. 
We had a nice evening in Cairns. We walked down the esplanade at sunset and then stopped at the Pier Bar and Grill for some dinner, followed by some delicious pistachio ice cream. We drove to Port Douglas to spend the night because we have to be at the marina for 8am.
