Today Moni and Florian had their last day here at Cairns Zoo, watching a crocodile show. In the afternoon they returned their hired campervan and I took them to Cairns Airport. They will spend their last 5 days in Sydney and Brisbane and then fly back to Germany on Friday.This picture was taken on Ellis Beach where we had great fun riding the waves on the bodyboards I had organized.
This is winter in Cairns! :) It's 30 degrees at noon and the sea is warm; the night temperatures are pleasant. No rain tomorrow. But believe it or not: We just saw on TV that right now it's hotter in Brisbane: they are sweltering at 35 degrees there!
I'm not (yet) alone again because another friend came to spend a week with me: Molly (whom I had met before in Brisbane). She is from China/Hong Kong and is here in Australia during her summer break from university. She has been wwoofing in Brisbane for 4 weeks and now she has a short holiday in Cairns.We enjoyed the peaceful nature in the Cairns hinterland, seeing some lakes and waterfalls. Much better than the city!
Werner and Karola are still kindly hosting us; you have to admire their patience with 4 guests in the house! I have helped Werner to start up his own blog.
