4th June 2006 - Day 65
Up early to get ready to pack up and clean up the van. Managed to melt plastic onto the cooker hood, so spent most of the morning trying to scrub it off. Poor Paul managed to do it. Handed camper back and headed off to the airport. Flight to Cairns was spectacular, the views were amazing - was a little scared at the beginning of the flight but calmed down after a while. Arrived in Cairns and headed to our hostel "Travellers Oasis", where the people were very helpful. Walked around the centre of Cairns, down to the harbour and around the main shopping strip, seemed to have changed a little since I was last here - six/seven years ago.
5th June 2006 - Day 66
Set off to pick up our wicked camper-van and were a little annoyed to find it wouldn't be ready until 1:30. So went to the Botanic gardens for a stroll and lunch. Went back to pick up the van - which was highly offensive - had pictures of poo all over it and it said "This van is covered in s***" so asked whether we could have another one - got a plain white van, bit boring but better than driving around in a van - which has s*** all over it!!! Drove charlene the new campervan into the centre of town for a drive around to pick up supplies. That afternoon set off to Palm Cove to camp up for the night, a really cool camp site right on the seafront.
