We were up nice and early this morning, so that our hostel could take us back to Cairns in time to pick up the next set of guests. Yesterday's rain had stopped and the sunshine was starting to break through the clouds, and it made the drive back really pretty. Once we were back at the Bohemia Resort, we checked into our new room and then headed into town to collect the laptop.
Yippee! The laptop was finally fixed - and because of the mistakes the Apple shops were making, it's like brand new! I only took it in the have the bluetooth module replaced and yet i've come away with... a new logic board, a new keyboard, a new bottom case and a new top case as well as working bluetooth - and all for free... bargain!
We hung about in town and then spent some time in Travel Bugs on the internet - catching up with people from home. Afterwards we walked round to the Cairns shopping centre which was nicely air-conditioned and had a coffee and slice of 'cookies & cream' cheesecake. We then spent the afternoon looking around the shops.
This evening we got ready at our hostel and then went back into town for a meal. First we rang my Mum to see if she'd had a nice holiday in Alaska, and to warn her that we were gonna be on the road for a week (from the 7th) and so not to worry when she doesn't hear from us. She must be getting tougher, my old Mum, because she didn't cry when she put the phone down this time! Afterwards we went across the road and had a nice meal in the Mexican. We shared our meals - Nikki had Mexican meat balls and I had some chilli-pie thing - they were lovely! On our way back to the bus we stopped in a pub and washed our food down with a nice cold beer.
We're in there so much, they know us in Travels Bugs now!

You do know that just because our mum didn't cry whilst talking to you, as soon as she put the phone down she probably did!!
