Cape York Trip - second day in Cairns

---

Hi all, this is our first full day in Cairns. We will spend another day here tomorrow and then leave after breakfast on Sunday. Today was a hard day in the Outback (not). We checked the cars and my car had to have some oil top up but my sister's Camper needed some work on the Anderson plug (it was not there anymore as it was blown away by the corrugations) and also the fridge wiring. Tonina and the other girls did some water aerobics in the park pool, I was tempted to join but peer pressure stopped me from joining the girls. We then had a really hard morning tea at Maccas Haha. It won't be so comfortable after Sunday. we also nearly forgot my daughters birthday today. OMG.

On Sunday our plan is to drive to Port Douglas and then move off to the drive to Weipa (800 odd kilometres) We won't do that in a day as we will stop at a creek somewhere on the way and camp for a day or two. This is when the real trip starts. Cannot wait for Sunday. I will put a map in tomorrow.

Happy birthday to my daughter Natalie.
