Vacation Memories

End of a crappy day … 😉  

a beautiful and relaxing day at our nearly private bay comes to an end            

breakfast in front of our new home here on the island… could be worse 😀      

… even on wifi. video took longer than expected :p

…and on our way a few stops at Babinda Boulders and the Milla Milla Falls            short break at beautiful Mission Beach:      and after todays journey we arrived at Magnetic Island and got picked up by our host 😉  

… to cairns, and hello to magnetic island. Oh, and g’day to babinda, milla milla and some other nice places!

via Skyrail across the rainforest to Kuranda and back by train          

… with gondola ride, lazy walk and train ride back … All in the rain forest.  

… under the sea !   

… about a picture and a thousand words ?!? No worries … More to come 😉

Today we picked up our new rental car and drove north to Daintree National Park. More greens, higher humidity and temperature than we had the last days. Oh, and how do you like our new roommate? He was waiting for us in the living room, when we came home form our trip.

… has come to an end, all complete with ferry ride and all.     Now first load of laundry, pasta dinner and then early bedtime. Tomorrow is reef day, meaning a 630am wakeup call 😮

… not necessarily “… of our lives” but rather in the “red center”.    … in particular at kings canyon. Next couple of days here in cairns for rainforrest, cable car, and maybe reef snorkling. 

getting closer and hiking around Ayers Rock and through “The Olgas”:     Kings Canyon       photos…lots of photos 😉         and finally returning our first rental car at Alice Springs Airport… goodbye thirsty fella 😉 – heading off to Cairns:    

… and moved into our first airbnb location … Nice !   

… sleepy little place 😉    Waiting for our flight in the food court …    … at this busy airport …       … more, once we reach cairns.  

… no wifi in the desert. Caught us by surprise, to be honest 😛 After two days in the depth of the australian outback, with no wifi, we are on our way to alice springs and then onward to our next section of our trip, cairns to sydney … More to come once we are…

   Early rising, 18km hiking … 👍

… there is free wifi 😀   

… to Uluru (Ayers Rock)    first view out of the plane:    steps on red ground towards rental car #1 with steering wheel on the wrong side 😉
