Our three-day stay in the “big” city Cairns


In Cairns we mostly did what you have to do in a “big” city (around 100.000 inhabitants) after travelling the last six weeks: partying, shopping, going out eating, using the internet, finding an alteration shop, trying to find a new travel mate for Silke, visiting the city, going to a concert, etc.
We also gave Hazel Quince to an inspection and service at Werner’s VW garage. She hopefully got all she needed for travelling the next 3.200 kms through the outback to Darwin. Of course it wasn’t as cheap as in Burley Heads, but the owner had Swiss-German roots - maybe that’s the reason for the higher prizes ;-)
