Sealer For Slate Wall

Cairns

Wir haben einen Lift gefunden! Morgen frueh fahren wir mit Tony (UK) und seinem Camper nach Townsville, um von dort einen Abstecher nach Magnetic Island zu machen. Aber natuerlich werde ich Cairns nicht ohne einen kurzen Bericht verlassen, schliesslich hat es mir hier ueberraschend gut gefallen. Jedenfalls war es nicht geplant, hier eine ganze Woche zu verbringen. Aber nachdem wir am zweiten Tag unser Hostel gewechselt have, we feel now even a bit of home. The first was modern, but too far away from the city and also houses definitely too many drunken Englishmen. Now we live (thanks Miriam) in Cairns City Backpackers Hostel has an almost homely with an owner of invaluable travel tips and lots of anecdotes in stock.

Cairns itself is very much attuned to tourists. Every other store sells travel and kitschy souvenirs. And with what? Right! ;) Determined two-thirds of people who are running around in the city backpackers, so you get the impression that there are almost only young people. In turn, all like to celebrate, so here you go away any day of the week and beer happy hours can be found.

What I have not got used even after a week, some geographical aspects. Signed me up for the presence of numerous mountains, for example, quite surprised.


instead of the mountains then I would have rather expected a beach, after all, we are here facing the sea. No way! For various reasons it is instead "The Lagoon", a large pool with sunbathing by the sea.

But this is not so bad, after all, there are plenty of beaches around the local area, I visited with Renske by rental car. What a scrap cart! I understand not a lot of cars, but the spare parts would be in Germany, never by the Come street legal! The auto-related aggression, we then reduced to about five different and usually deserted dream beaches again.

Yesterday, it has now just started to rain, as outrageous! Although it is still warm and therefore a haven for all the summer rain smell-May, for me it is the perfect time to travel further.
