Cairns

For the first time we had problems of finding a double room without previous booking.. looks as everybody ends up here at some opint of travelling.. Well, it makes sense - it's the northern end of the Greyhoud-route along the east coast and it has an airport...

We spent our first day trying to find a cheap car rental - found one and booked a neat little car for the next two days.

On our first day as "part-time-car-owners" we drove up north to Kurunda, a little said-to-be Aborigine-village, but it was actually a tourist-stuff-selling-place... But we made a nice little walk in the tropical heat to a lookout for a big waterfall.
After that we headed of to the beaches north of Cairns and visited Palm cove and Port Douglas and went on a walk along the four-mile beach with a coffee and a hot chocolate. Sweet :)

The next day we decided to leave out Cape tribulation and spend the last time we had in Daintree where we made a little river cruise (spot the crocodiles - cool) and walked two kilometers to a waterfall wich we had for ouselves - not a single person on all the way! Just - we had to runn all the way back to reach our plain to Darwin... Well, some sports... And it was so much worth it!
