Quality Hotel Pacific International Cairns

... plane in a minute. I had a camera jumper coming with me to practice filming so she climbed on to the edge of the plane and we shuffled over! So couldn't back out now, or could I? Nah i fell out the plane with Ronnie, arms crossed and head back. After he had done the safety checks i had to arch my back and bend my legs inbetween his with my arms out. My camera girl was blowing me kisses and held my hand to spin me round. Ronnie taught me to do a few turns which was good fun ...

... mit Sarah und Julian (sehr nette Bekanntschaft) eine Tour durch den Botanischen Garten und den Regenwald gemacht. War eine super tolle Wanderung, allerdings haben uns die Temperaturen schon ganz schoen zu schaffen gemacht. War dadurch 5mal so anstrengend (Subtropisches Klima - keine Spur von Schnee *haha*) hat sich aber gelohnt - die Aussicht war toll von da oben!<br>Nach der Tour sind wir den Strand entlang zurueck ...

... I got on with 2 German guys, we stopped at a super nice hotel downtown and grabbed 4 American meathead frat boys who could have been plucked right out of the Hangover. First off, they were hungover. I could smell them from 389 feet away as they approached the van. Second, the first topic of conversation upon entering the van was between two of them, bragging about how they both "had" the same bombshell chick last night. In the same hotel room ...

... Because Cairns must have lots of Japanese visitors, tourist stuff is in both languages. Also, fried rice was offered at brekky.<br><br>We get to the jetty, aka pier, quickly and get on the boat for the 90 minute trip. They go over safety procedures, and time is wasted, until the reef. We get the gear and hop into the water. Swimming amongst the coral was pretty damn sweet, especially at low tide when ...

... ganzstolzbin*<br><br>Ab** beginnen wir doch mal am Anfang! Am 13. Juni begab ich mich also voll** Vorfreude ins Forj** meines Hostels, wo mich meine Tauchlehr** von ProDive Cairns abholten. Mein Tauchlehr** Garry Welsh ein waschecht** Ire begruesste mich mit dem in Australien ueblichem: "Hello Max! How are you?" Und schon gings auch schon los mit dem Bus zur Tauchschule ins Zentrum von Cairns. Dort angekommen stellte sich **st mal die komplette ...

... beaches. I thought it was a little funny and a little bit sad. The actual city of Cairns does not offer a whole lot, hostels, restaurants and a lot of shopping. The most interesting thing I found was a really neat aboriginal art gallery. The art is really unique from anything I have really seen before. Apparently they use sticks and other things to paint dots onto huge canvases that get up to size of a full wall. A couple days ago I went to visit one of the great ...

... quicksilver cruisse !Je suis allée faire un rapide tour de la ville et suis allée me couchée vers 23H. Je partage ma chambre avec 5 autres filles : japonaise, hollandaises et suisse allemande. Evidemment à 23heures personne n'était couché et elles sont rentrées les unes après les autres en allumant la lumière ce qui m'a réveillé ! Ben oui c'est pas cher (par rapport à une chambre simple dans un hôtel) mais cela a ces inconvénients ! Nous n'avons qu'une prise de ...

We arrived in Cairns early on the 8th MArch. When we arrived we got a taxi into town and we heard that there was a massive tropical cyclone in the area and we had missed it by 2 days. Very Lucky!!! Everybody has heard of Cairns as a city in Northern Australia. Hence I was thinking of the metropolitan city with skyscrapers and everthing that is associated with a city. How wrong could I be ...
