After a quick stop at "German Tucke Wursthouse" we reached cairns in the evening of the 18th of  November of the year 2007. To be contiued....

Kat and I arrived yesterday in Cairns empowered and energized by the tropical climate of Queensland in northern Australia. However, we might have been a  bit ahead of ourselves.... We went out last night for the first time since we've been here (we've been going to bed by 8 to get up by 6:30 to do the hikes/city and all that) and then decid...

Alex: After our final overnight bus journey we got to a blisteringly hot Cairns but decided not to hit the beach (well, it's actually a man-made lagoon) thinking we would have plenty of time later..ha ha ha. The following day we went out to the reef so I could snorkel and Dean could do a couple of dives. It wasn't quite the glorious weather...

On Monday we didn't do much apart from walk around Cairns looking at the shops and the Esplanade. The city center  is pedestrianised which is really nice and there is a man made lagoon place where you can swim. After dinner in the Woolshed again ($7 for a huge steak and chip... Hev was happy!) it was time to say farewell to Sandra again and...

Holy cow I can't believe it's my last day already! I forgot to say about my visor yesterday. I did succumb to the souvenir shops and purchased an Australia visor. But I had my reasons. First it caught my eye. Then I walked around and told myself I didn't need a visor, I already had a hat. Then I realised my hat says Captain Morgan and won't be a...

Wake up at 4h30 to take the bus at 5' to take my plane!!! it's already really hot!! I'm a little bit worry because only few days ago it was the cyclone in Cairns and some people talk about a second one you can arrive...but i thought that if an other gonna arrive they gonna cancel the fly so... In Cairns it was the same weather as Darwin...humid ...

Hey hey hey, it me again. Due to the demand and a spare bit of time here I am with another entry. Its not so much that I cant be bothered any more its more that we dont really do much to talk about. Ive still got no job, Kates still working the fish market. I went and played football the other night in a 5 a side game. We played 2 half hour game...

I have been off the dive boat for 3 days but am still rocking! Had a great time - spent 2 nights / 3 days on a liveaboard boat diving the barrier reef. Did 10 dives in total, including some dubious navigation underwater. The dive supervisor was a bit of an underwater camera buff and gave us some great tips and taught me features of my camera tha...

After experiencing the metropolitan city Sydney, with it's crazy fast people, and even seeing The Magic flute at the sydney opera house, it is time to chillout, relax and just lye in the sun in Queensland. But after 2 days it as enough relaxing and we went on a journey through the rainforests which was really cool and another day jumped on a whi...
