Probably, Adelaide is most beautiful city in Australia. There are lots of historical building and many of them are in a very good condition. Also, they spent a lot in the public area around the university campus. The botanical garden is pretty nice too. And last but no least, the pedestrian area is excellent for shopping 🙂
Out of nothing, we were in front of a churroria, hmm 😉
We still can’t believe it that the aussies decorate everything for Christmas in summertime!
The last three days, we spent on the “Scubapro I” out on the Great Barrier Reef for diving and snorkeling.
You can find more about the diving and the under water pictures on my diveblog here
They have also a nice video on youtube about those three day trips:
We spent the last to days with shopping, check in at the dive school, barbecuing, going out…
Now, we’re more or less ready for the live aboard dive trip 🙂 Unfortunately, we will be the first couple the pick up tomorrow morning. That means we have to be ready at 5.45 🙁
You find some pictures of the week in the gallery below.

Today, we spent the day visiting the Daintree NP. We drove all the way up to Cape Tribulation, and of course back again.
On the way up, we stopped at the Daintree Recreation Center where we saw the first unusual animal, a python! After a a small snack, we went for the tree top walk. It was interesting to see the differences between the all those layers of a rain forest.

Close to Cape Tribulation, we saw that whale while taking some pictures of the beach. It is sad to see such nice animals laying dead on the beach!
Cape Tribulation, where to road ends and the adventure begins…
After hanging around a day at the beach house, we went for a very nice trip to Kuranda by the Gondola. The crazy aussies built a 7.5 km gondola over the top of the trees across the rain forest! Kuranda is a very small touristic village, but nice.

Today, we did an excursion to the Paronella Park in the rain forest. This park was one of the first tourist attractions in Queensland and was built around 1930. It was the dream of the founder to create some kind of castle in the middle of the rain forest.

There were flying foxes everywhere!
A nice group picture at the end of the tour.

After 26h of flying we arrived tired, but happy to meet our Aussis, in Cairns. It just took 45min to get trough customs at 6.30 in the morning. 🙂
It’s good to see them again after a year, Kaya is growing so fast!

After unpacking, a few coffees we went to Cairn to buy some stuff for the fridge and lot’s of meet for barbecue 😉 The rest of the day we spent at beach house, drinking coffee and talking about all kind of news.
Walter’s beach house is in Kewarra Beach, located around 20km north of Cairns and it’s in a very nice area. Not bad!
