Sometimes, travel is just plain boring. Like Wednesday in Airlie Beach, when the buses to Cairns were cancelled (due to flooding) and it rained all day (due to wet season). Or Thursday, when the buses were going, at least for one hour out of Airlie, before having to stop for 3 hours (due to flooding) at this lovely reststop in Bowen. According to a sign at the city limits, "Nic, Hugh and Baz loved it in Bowen". Well, Meike didn't. Although they probably saw a different side of the town...
We finally made it into Cairns at about 2am Friday morning. Meanwhile, I've noticed that there are two groups of travellers around: Those who had no idea that there is such a thing as a wet season in Northern Queensland, and those (like myself) who kind of knew it, but thought that it somehow wouldn't apply to us. It can't rain all the time, right? Well, I now know: It can. It can rain for 48 hours more or less continuously. So if you ever plan a trip to the Whitsunday or the Great Barrier Reef, keep it in mind!

Meike, you've definitely been away from Germany for too long, or you would remember that it can rain and rain and rain... for 48 hours no problem - it's just that we don't call it the wet season, no we call it summer ;-))
Okay, I shouldn't complain, we had two straight weeks of freezing cold with bright blue skies, sun and snow, which was really beautiful....
Hope you find more sunshine soon!
Happy Trails,
Uli
