As we sit upon our arrival in a nice seaside cafe in front of the laptop and search for suitable forms of accommodation . Now in the postseason, it's easy to find a place to stay and the prices are to "stand by" is set, you can trade also. We decide, we set up in an apartment with self catering option. First, it is cheaper than a hotel, the second one has more space and third, one independent. After a tour along the Esplanade - this is the road that is to foremost on the beach promenade - we find a nice apartment house: Each apartment has a large balcony, in front is a nice pool area and it has a direct view of the city of Bay Cairns .
Before we attempt the reception we draw us to find out about some "befitting" clothes, as far as our travel wardrobe permit it. Finally, we do not only due to a possible rebuff to gypsy look. We are lucky and an apartment in the 6th Stock is still free, a little big, but it offers us, given the slack demand season for a special prize. After a brief tour of the premises, we know that we want to stay here and let the last day of our stay comfortable and pleasant finish. The reception lady we have to haggle a bit, so that fits in a prime location situated in in our strained budget. Finally, she backs down and we feel really good ... - knowing that they have arrived to take a quarter for the next 9 days, remove all the rest of our set of wheels to sort all the luggage, organize, and prepare for the journey home. Finally, we look forward to the adventurous time in the car again "to spread out right" to!
After the short check-in formalities, we make ourselves out to rummage stowed our belongings across the car together. Several plastic boxes "travel material," we drag into the apartment. After a quiet evening on the balcony directly overlooking the sea and the palm-lined avenues, green and riparian zone, we are pleased to crawl in through the large translucent bed.
Cairns is the most important city in the north Queensland (Or as the area is called here "the tropic of North Queensland"). Equipped with all the amenities: a lively beach promenade with numerous bars, restaurants, cafes, quaint shops, a large man-made salt water lagoon, where you can swim, green areas and a huge range of excursions such as the tropical hinterland to the north in the oldest rain forests of our planet and of course to the Great Barrier Reef. And finally, the area with a year-round warm climate blessed - after lying on the same latitude as Fiji or Tahiti - South Pacific climate, then!
After the first exploratory steps through the city center and related information gathering us it's clear that the area has to offer here too much delightful detour than to just spend all my time in the city. And finally the weather forecasts predict much to our astonishment really good. Gradually, we get used to least, back to the oppressive tropical heat, and last but not: until 02/21/2009, we have a driving machine available, which brings us to the remote corners. We forge so eagerly trip plans! First, we explore
the peri-urban beaches in the north of the city, the so-called Northern Beaches. Wonderfully long and deserted beach coves are strung together, music for the senses: fine Sand, crystal clear waters of the Coral Sea, enormous palm trees, fallen coconuts are everywhere in the sand ... and a deliberate, dignified mood is spreading in the quiet suburbs. Only no hassle - to stress here is simply too hot! :-) Swimming is only a limited extent, as there is during the summer tropical dangerous "Marine Stinger" (poisonous jellyfish) in the water. At most beaches, there are about one with jellyfish nets fenced and guarded swimming area.
In Palm Cove and Ellis Beach, we stop and enjoy the quiet atmosphere, where the green landscape of the wet tropics and the South Pacific to give the hand. Ellis Beach in our photographer is obligatory during the photo shoots are almost breath ... - before her on a wooden fence winds a snake, a nimble and colorful reptile, which looks pretty toxic. Well that the creature quickly looking for peace in the lush ground vegetation.
During our trip to the Northern Beaches pushes us a little in front of the lens, what we are interested in more detail. On the outskirts there is a lake where you set up an amusement park for wakeboarding, there are kickers and rails in the water and a lift can be can be drawn about the man-made lake. Once again, we see an opportunity to us sporting options to treat. In particular, the stimulus is large, because we never "Water-Lift" are down. So far, we have let us always by boat. In short, we will book us in and spend a motion but also rich fall afternoon on the lake wakeboarding! A good decision, it has been lousy fun! :-) The next morning, however, encountered violent muscle spasms, we need to be treated to a soothing Asian relaxation massage that you get for little money in the halls of the Night Markets.
Otherwise, we indulge in sweet doing nothing, the stroll through the streets heated by the sun and the Night Markets, we can relax from upbeat- Lifestyle of the Australian summer tropical infectious. And of course we enjoy living in spacious rooms with spectacular views of the water. let there be no misunderstanding
: Sun all just lazy, we are here, however. As hinted at the area offers a variety of destinations that are worth exploring. In particular, the slightly higher Atherton Tablelands and have north of Cairns city, Cape Tribulation, we envisaged. Between Cape Tribulation and the town of Cooktown, at the entrance to the wild and unspoiled Cape York Peninsula, there is again an adventurous 4WD track along the coast across the rain forest. Also, river crossings has the runway ready. That sounds like the perfect off-road adventure as a conclusion. And to take leave from the camp experience, we will extend this trip to the northern region in two days. Again, find a secluded place for the night and last night deliberately bring in Landi.
course, we want to give you the details and especially the pictures are not deprived of this wonderful tour. If your reading and photo-watching are not yet tired, there's details of our exploration of the Wet Tropics next time!
