Port Douglas, day off

The place I found yesterday was a good one. Some bird made noise during the night when they walked on the dead crunchy leafs but I prefer that than crocodiles ;-) I’m going to spend a day in Port Douglas because I didn’t wake as early as I wanted and I didn’t visit very well yesterday. As everyday since I arrived in OZ the sky is blue and the temperature warm, nice :-)

somewhere > Port Douglas (18km, 1h05)

I was finally only 15 km to Port Douglas and I arrived here soon. This is the first place where I could expect to find a job so I went straight to a internet café and I printed some CV. Then I tried some hotel and restaurant but they don’t need anybody. I think fruit picking is easier to find because they want people with experience here. Bah! No problem, I will try somewhere else.

Cairns, Reef backpacker hostel

Oooh, this was a long break, I was in blog holiday haha :-) those last days I didn’t do something special. I’m organising my next trip. Australia is so big! I received today my credit card and I’m now waiting for my similar card. But I will come back in Cairns later to get it because I don’t want to stay here and pay a backpacker everyday. I’m leaving up north tomorrow morning. I will make a loop. It looks small on my map but I’m sure it’s like all the north land of NZ haha crazy! On my way I will try to find a job as well. I need a job!
Every morning when I go out and see this wonderful blue sky and feel the 26° degrees in the air I’m happy. It’s sooo cool. I’ve fixed my bike today in a cycle shop next to the hostel. It.was just a check-up to fix some parts. Now I’m ready to ride on crocodiles!

Cairns, another look around

I’m going to stay 6 night in the Reef Backpacker because I must organised my papers. So I’m not going to cycle too much or at least around the city just to have a look and learn like : where can I buy chocolate and coca cola? Where are the public toilet? haha :-) Where is the bank? Where are the bicycle shops? (Very important) Where is the post office? It’s funny because I can feel sometimes like I’m in NZ but every brand or names are new. I need time to get the translation. This place is a part of the esplanade where I came yesterday but on the other side of Cairns.

Step, Auckland, NZ > Cairns, OZ (flight + 30km cycling, 2 days)

[wpgmza id=”26″]

New Zealand to Australia to enjoy hot winter :-) The sensation when I arrived in Cairns was sooo good! It’s not winter here it’s like spring or even summer time! I missed my plane when I was in transfer in Brisbane so Qantas offered me a night in a five stars hotel. What a thing to start Australia after camping five days in park in Auckland with a really cold rainy weather!
