It's been a while since we have been able to update our Blog, as we are now travelling down the east coast and internet access has been sparse... but more about our latest travels in a bit...
We spent the last couple of days in Cairns travelling up to Cape Tribulation and Port Douglas. Can't say it was our favourite of trips we have done, as the place we stayed was extremely isolated, and the activity we planned to do there (horse-riding on the beach) was fully booked. We took a 'Croc Cruise' on the river but were disappointed not to see any crocs at all, then visited the 'Bat House' only to be left totally bemused as it only housed one bat?!? Not worth the entrance fee... Anyway looking on the positive, the hotel was lovely (nice to stay somewhere a little more luxurious, if only for 1 night!) and we had a delicious meal at the nearby restaurant.
Unfortunately, we have both been in the wars a little. James has had a problem with his ears - one is totally blocked - and a trip to the doctor revealed he has 'tropical ear!?! Apparently it's caused by warm, moist climates - the rafting and snorkelling also couldn't have helped. He has been prescribed antibiotics and ear drops. It's not painful for him, he is just more than a little deaf (still, least he doesn't have to listen to my complaining about my ailment....) - I have been bitten by a spider. Not sure when it happened or what type it was - but it hasn't been pleasant. The bite swelled into a blister the size of a ping pong ball (ew...gross!) and is pretty sore. I am applying cream and covering it with a dressing, hoping for it to heal up soon. What a pair eh?
Still, our discomfort didn't dampen our our excitement when we packed our bags and left our Cairns hostel to pick up our Winniebago that was to become our home-on-wheels for the next 2.5 weeks. To describe the camper - well, best to say it's compact and bijoux! We did struggle the first couple of nights, particularly with the heat. We seem to be prone to mozzie bites, so in the evenings it is a choice between keeping the van doors open (and being eaten alive), or closing the doors (and being cooked alive!). However, we went to a garden centre and found a fan for $14 (about 6 squid). We quibbled over it for a while, as we are on a tight budget and had already spent rather a lot on hiring the van, but bought it in the end. Turns out however, we are in complete agreement that it was the best 6 pounds we have spent in our lives!!!
Our first drive was from Cairns to Mission Beach where we stayed for a couple of nights before moving on to Townsville. Several people said Townsville (or 'Brownsville' as locals call it) is not worth stopping at, but we thought the area was lovely! Long beachfront walkways, and a viewing point up a steep and winding road giving us stunning views over the surrounding area. From Townsville we drove to Airlie Beach (the gateway to the Whitsundays), which is where we are now. We are staying at a fantastic campsite and plan to remain there for 4-5 days, as there is so much to do and explore. We aim to do a day trip out to Whitehaven Beach (supposedly the 4th most photographed place in Oz) - perhaps tomorrow or the day after. We have found a tour company that sounds great so will probably book it later.
Hope all is well at home and missing everyone as always! F&J.x.

Cairns
We are having an action packed time in Cairns!
The hostel we are staying is excellent (http://www.dreamtimetravel.com.au/).
So far we have done the Sky Rail to Kuranda (http://www.skyrail.com.au/) and the Kuranda Scenic Railway return. The view into the rain forest from the pod is amazing. Check out the pics on the web site. At one of the markets in Kuranda they had a stall selling authentic didgeridoo’s... Fran bought me a fair dinkum didgeridoo for my birthday! (Mum – this will be arriving at your place in the next couple of weeks!). I’ve had a half an hour’s lesson and have bought a teach yourself CD – watch out Hayley!
We’ve also been white water rafting on the Russell River (http://www.foamingfury.com.au/russell.php). We didn’t realize that we would have to carry the rafts for nearly an hour through thick jungle to get there! It was well worth the effort, unless you take into account leeches that attached themselves to Fran or my shoulder dislocating after we capsized... Fran was the only person out of the 6 of us to get leeches (one other couple and 2 instructors) – to say that she wasn’t happy about it would be an understatement! I am in quite a bit of pain with my shoulder, but it already feels better than it did the day after the rafting, when I was in agony. The rafting its self was excellent. It took a while to get the hang of steering, and we ending up beaching ourselves on the rocks a couple of times.
Yesterday we did a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, which is one of the 7 wonders of the world I believe (http://www.oceanfree.com.au/oceanfreedom.html). The whole trip was amazing. We did loads of snorkeling (one armed in my case!) and saw some fantastic fish and coral formations.
Tomorrow we set off for Port Douglas and the Cape Tribulation. Fran is hoping to do some horse riding on the beach, but I’m not sure my shoulder will be up to it ;-)
After Cairns the plan is to hire a camper van and drive down the East coast, taking in Mission Beach, Airlie Beach (where we can get a trip out to the Whitsunday’s), Hamilton Island, Mackay, Rockhampton, Hevey Bay (for a trip to Fraser Island), Rainbow Beach and finally Brisbane! From Brisbane down I think we’ll be using Grey Hound buses, as these seem to be the cheapest way to travel...

Our trekking trip in Alice Springs
We arrived late in Alice Springs on Friday and settled in for an early night as we had to be up at 5am the following day. Saturday morning - having been picked up by our tour company - we began the six hour drive to our campsite, stopping only briefly for comfort stops along the way.
Once we arrived, we had a buffet lunch (that all guests helped to prepare) before going for our first trek, to Kata Tjuta. The walk was not too strenuous but the heat was quite something - it was like being in a sauna. We were all encouraged to drink plenty of water along the way to ensure we didn't over-heat. That evening, we drove to Uluru (Ayres Rock) to watch the sunset whilst enjoying a glass of wine. However, as we approached the great rock, the clouds became overcast and it started to rain. Quite typical we thought- we got rain even in the hottest, dryest part of Australia! Still, apparently less than 1% of visitors get to see rain in the outback, so guess we were 'privileged'!!! After that, it was back to the camp for a BBQ meal and bed, as we had to be up even earlier the following day. The camp was basic (no electricity etc) - however we had a LOT of visitors - bugs of every variety. Gave us the heeby-jeebies - we even had to check our tents for snakes before we could go to bed! Think it might have been a good thing that we were in pitch black (no lights) as not sure I wanted to witness who we might be sharing our tent with! The next day we got up at 4.15am to go see the sunrise at Uluru before doing another walk, this time around the base of the rock. We also visited a culture centre to learn more about Aboriginal culture and art. James really wanted to climb Uluru - they still allow you to do it - though our guide advised us against it. To be honest I was quite glad he didn't do it as our guide pointed out that:
a) it's the highest point for miles around
b) you have to hold onto a metal chain all the way up, as it's a very steep climb
c) there was a thunder storm brewing
....not a good recipe should lightening choose to strike!
After our visit to Uluru, we drove on to another camp site (3 hour drive), based at King's Canyon. Having set up camp, we lit a large bonfire from wood we had collected on our drive along the way. One of our tour guides cooked up a fantastic meal over the open fire - made all the more delicious due to our exercise induced appetites! Sure enough, we had a spectacular thunder & lightening display later that evening so we made a sharp exit from the meal to our tents. That night was really windy - at 1.30am we convinced ourselves that there was a large creature outside our tents. James tentatively went out with the torch to investigate, only to find it was a tree brushing up against the side of our tent. Note to self: never choose the tent under the tree! Another 4.15am start (not funny a second morning in a row!), we dragged our tired selves into the bus for a short drive to King's Canyon for our final walk. This one was described as 'difficult' by our guide, who - based on previous days - had a tendancy to underestimate rather! There was the option of an easier walk but J managed to persuade me to join him on the difficult one around the rim of the King's Canyon. After a tough climb to the top of the canyon, I have to admit we were really enjoying ourselves. The scenery and views were stunning - the pictures we took didn't do it justice. I was really tired but feeling rather proud of my achievement, until the tour guide pointed out we were only a quarter of the way along the trek. I was not impressed, particularly as he then told us that two tourists who had done this trek with him before had actually died from heat exhaustion and dehydration! Luckily the weather was on our side - it was still cool from the night before and the fact it was still only the small hours of the morning.
The walk involved a lot of rock climbing and walking near the edge of frighteningly high cliff tops, but we both made it back in one piece. The last half an hour was torture but we agreed the trip was the highlight for both of us. Following the walk, we had a picnic lunch before driving the long 6 hour drive back to our hostel in Alice Springs. That evening, we went out with the rest of our tour group for a meal. We had a meal ofKangaroo (very like beef steak) and enjoyed chatting to the others we had met.
The next day we flew to Cairns and enjoyed a long sleep-in in our hostel. Today we have taken it easy and read up on various activities to do around Cairns. We have now booked trips to the Great Barrier Reef, CapeTribulation and the Barron River where we are going to do a day rafting (the 'adventurous' option - James' choice!) - gulp. Oh well, guess we're getting fit!

Leaving for Alice Springs
The last couple of days have been quite quiet - we never made it to Rottnest island as it rained solidly. We also both managed to pick up a bug which has rendered us both tired and feeling grotty. Still, we managed to hire and watch the entire first series of 'My name is Earl' - so all was not lost! At Perth airport now waiting for flight to Alice Springs where we are going to do a 3 day trek. Apparently the temperature is 40 degrees plus, so hope we are feeling recovered by tomoz! F&J.x.

We 'did time' in Freemantle prison!
It was a 1.5 hour ferry trip to Freemantle which allowed us to enjoy the
Perth coast along the way. For those of you who know Cornwall, I thought Freemantle was just like Padstow, only nicer. As we arrived, we started to explore before stopping at 'Cicerello's' for lunch - move over Rick Stein! - the infamous place for fresh fish and chips in Freemantle. After that, we visited the markets before heading to Freemantle Prison to do a tour called 'doing time'. Although the prison is no longer in use, it last held inmates as recently as 1991 and is recorded as being 'the most haunted building in Australia'. Wooooooo! We were quite disappointed though, as we didn't seeing anything spooky....still, glad we only had to spend an hour there, not a life sentence!
On Monday we attempted to get the ferry to Rottnest island, but missed the ferry, so went to Cottesloe beach instead - a gorgeous strip of white sand and blue sea. Imagine having that on your doorstep every day!
Yesterday we hired bikes and cycled round Swan River - this river is named after the black swans that live there and is huge - more like the sea than a river. The cycle paths are great - smooth and flat, so quite easy going. Dotted along the way are sculptures, landscaped gardens and picnic areas to enjoy. The Australians really take pride in making the city a nice place to be - I suppose because they spend so much time outdoors.
Today we attempted once again to get the ferry to Rottnest. Having checked out the ferry times in advance (!), we got up early, packed our bags and went to leave the hostel, only to see rain lashing down outside! We gave it an hour, but the rain didn't stop - no good going to Rottnest while weather is like this as it's basically a beach, so not much fun in rain. We are going to attempt Rottnest again tomorrow (3rd time lucky?) as it's our last day before flying to Alice Springs. Will let you know if we make it!
Signing off for now but love to all, F&J.x.

Off to Fremantle today...
After our first nightmare night in Perth, we moved to the 'Comfort Hostel' to escape! Booked at the last minute, it wasn't ideal as it was 10 km out of town. We spent the first day looking for a better place to stay, and have now booked into the 'Underground Hostel' for 6 nights - the remainder of our time in Perth. It is fairly basic but people are lovely, it's really central - and it is nice to be able to unpack our things a bit! James has got chatting to some of the lads about football (he is missing it a lot!) so I think he is happy!
Yesterday we spent several hour walking around Perth trying to get our bearings, and took a tram tour in the afternoon. This took us to Kings Park (the biggest park in the world apparently), which was stunning. It has views of the whole of Perth and the Swan River. So spectacular in fact, we saw six different weddings taking place in the grounds.
Today we are off to Fremantle - it is just a short bus and ferry ride away.
Hope all is well in the UK - thanks for all the emails people have sent so far - it is really lovely to hear from home. Also - hope you had an excellent birthday party Rach - we were thinking of you!
Love, F&J.x

Our first night in Perth...
99% of all the Aussies we met up until we arrived in Perth have been really friendly. We've already had 4/5 offers of places to stay!
Last night however, we had a bit of a shock! We arrived at the Perth YMCA by taxi from the airport. As we stepped out of the taxi we saw loads of dodgy looking characters sat around drinking. Most of them looked like tramps / drop outs... now we know where they all live - the Perth YMCA! The place stank of pi$$, was dirty and the people were ALL odd in some way or another! Think of the scabby people you see in Bristol Broadmead shopping centre early morning or late at night... you get the picture. We couldn't wait to get out of there this morning.
We've now moved to a hostel for backpackers and not the dregs of society. Fortunatly its much nicer. Phew!

Touring the Island
We have had an excellent couple of days - mainly due to the fact that we met an excellent guide called Dewi Yoga, who has driven us around the island to see all the best spots. We decided not to hire a car and drive ourselves as we didn't want to take the risk of an accident (the Balinese have odd road rules!).
On Monday we travelled to Ubud to see the Monkey Forest - immediately we arrived we were surrounded by lots of monkeys looking for food. There were stalls selling bananas to give to them, but we were advised not to feed them as they can get quite vicious!
We also stopped off at a place making traditional batik materials by hand - they showed us the lengthy process of repetitively dying the cloth and then adding wax to make a pattern. We weren't too keen on the finished product but were impressed by the pain staking skills it takes the people to make it!
We then moved on to a gold/silver factory where they make jewellery by hand. Again, so much work goes into their craft - I bought a small silver ball pendant as a souvenir - it only took me 10 mins to choose it - I think James got off lightly as I could have stayed there for hours, they had so much beautiful jewellery to look at!
After that, we went to a coffee and cocoa plantation and saw the plants growing in their natural environment - it was very interesting and they offered us samples of coffee and cocoa to try. James bought some coffee beans to send back to the uk.
Having stopped once again to admire the view of rice fields several times (great photo opportunities!), we drove the steep hill to see Mount Kintamani. We ate lunch high up on the mountain overlooking breath-taking volcanic mountains and huge lakes. Simply stunning!
As our guide was so good, we asked him to take us out on the following day too. We went to Tanah Lot, where there is a temple on the edge of the sea. We got blessed with holy water, had rice stuck to our foreheads and flowers put behind our ears. Have to say, it rather suited J! We weren't allowed in the temple though, so James got out of having to wear one of my sarongs.
The evening was perhaps the best experience of our trip so far. We went to Jimbaran (the home village of our guide). He took us to a restaurant with tables on the beach. There we sat sipping cocktails while we watched the sun set and the waves lap just metres from our table. We enjoyed a meal of freshly caught and grilled red snapper and were then seranaded by a local band! The type of experience money can't buy!
Today is our last day - we plan to do a few bits and bobs (last minute
shopping etc) and will meet up with our guide tonight once again, who is going to introduce us to the delights of Arak - the local alcoholic drink. Hope we're not too hung over for our flight tommorrow...F&J.xxx.
