Well after many an hour spent on the phone trying to change our flight, we failed! We are in Australia for an extra 3 weeks. As we fly out of Brisbane we thought it would be a good idea to get to the top by Cairns and make our way back down.
Our night in Cairns was an interesting one to say the least. Our double/twin room was at the back of a dorm room which we had to go through to get to ours. Nice! We did get a free evening meal voucher with our booking though and headed straight down to enjoy that. Enjoy, well it was free and thats about as good as it got. Every hostel in Cairns gives these out and I guess the pub is thinking they can make their money back from drinks, not from us though.
Next morning we headed for the bus at 0630 to Mission Beach. We are now in a lovely place. Got a lovely room with our own TV and DVD and with over 1000 DVD on offer at the hostel we are in heaven. We did have a rough plan to stay here for 5 nights then make our way down bit at a time to fly out of Bris. Then Sara found out they needed a bus driver to pick up and drop off guests at the bus station. Thanks Sara! I then found out they needed a cleaner and Sara is doing that. We will now be spending the rest of our time here. We get free room and enough money to cover the food which is good.
So whats in Mission Beach I hear to cry. The answer, not much at all. A beach we can't swim at, 1 small supermarket, cafe or 2, post office and er, oh yes a bottle shop for the important things in life.
