Well Cairns, the first day we got here we were surrounded by some crazy folk, there's plenty of Aboriginal folk here, homeless and even kids that steal novelty Australia Towels?! Hmm.. What did we get ourselves into?!
We'd booked a package here before we come to stay at Gilligans 'Party' Hostel, and by jesus thats what it is, the bar/nightclub is open til 3am and its pumping every night! The walls of the Hostel don't do to much for stopping the pumping music so don't expect to get much sleep before the club kicks out :P We had a few days of drinking which included the 'Ultimate Party Pub Crawl' Which was mad. But all this had to come to an end at Gilligans as we respected our sleep, so we jumped ship and stayed at Caravellas to avoid the hussle and bussle of the center of town, this didn't mean we stopped drinking it meant we could sleep when we got back :D
Cairns and Gilligans was where we bumped into Jerry the chap who was to sell us the car, i think he nicknamed it the Kezinator or something, so we've gone for PaP PaP the 2nd After Beths KA back home. The 4L OHC (Auto) Ford Falcon would be our transport for the foreseeable future until it fails on us, for the profitable amount of $500.
Ran into a few familular face while being here which was cool as you can become rather distant from your previous bed barers from previous hostels and places. Couple from Brisbane who were at Mission Beach with, and a few new comers who we were to meet on our Cape Trib Tour.
The only downside here is that the Lagoon is shut :( As its being refurbished, and there's not to much of a beach here to chill on in the day.
We'd be spending some time here inbetween trips and road trips, half way house/base camp etc.
Well with the Car needing some TLC we've had an extended time in Cairns. Which kinda worked well for us as we were able to do the Toga Bar Crawl, and my gosh it was a messy messy night!! See the piccies.
