Day 70 & 71 Back in Cairns for two days

We had to go back to Cairns today as we had an appointment at the mechanic early Monday morning. It's probably not hard to imagine we didn't really want to leave this beautiful camp spot. Especially after we watched dolphins swim by whilst we had breakfast! Incredible!

But as checkout time was 10 am (we didn't leave one minute earlier..hehe) we found ourselves driving back to Cairns before noon. A bit hesitant we decided to check into a hostel again. This time we ended up in 'Gecko's' and straight away we felt more at place in this hostel. It was much cleaner and quieter and the bed pillow didn't look like it had served duty since WW2  (like in the previous hostel)

We spent the rest of the Sunday and Monday exploring Cairns and again we were pleasantly surprised. Unlike Alice Springs this town seemed to have really 'bloomed' since our visit 10 years ago! We had a great time walking around enjoying the view, the shops and all the good food and drinks it had to offer.
