Australia - part II
I decided to continue the previous Australia post and tell some more about the highlights of our vacation.
So, after spending the night in Arlie Beach in the worst hotel we've ever been to, we boarded the yacht named "Dream Catcher" and took off to the Whitsunday Islands.
The sea was very windy and the skipper used the sails, which means the boat was swinging madly all the time it was moving. Alona got a bit sea-sick, and as a cure the skipper suggested some steering:
On the yacht we had our own room, which was... let's say - not too roomy. We sailed around the Whitsundays, went sightseeing and snorkeling:
After we had felt a solid ground under our feet again, we continued our way northbound, heading to Cairns. The distance from Arlie Beach to Cairns is about 750 km, so we took it in two days, visiting the Paronella Park on our way. Strangely enough this park was not listed in the Lonely Planet, we heard about it in the motel, where we stopped for the night. Nevertheless it's the most beautiful park I've ever been to.
On our way we crossed countless sugar cane railways and saw numerous cane trains, which sometimes were infinitely long. They say they have more than 3000 km of those railroads in north Queensland.
Cairns is a place with a lot of things to do and to see around, the most interesting place in all the eastern coast. About this - in part III.

The last renegade is back ...
... for a visit.
I'll be in Israel from the 5th of January till the night of the 18th. The day I'm arriving is Friday so prepare for a long night partying!
See you soon after a long time (too long to my taste),
The last renegade
P.S.
That's what I'm reading now. Thought it is a nice illustration:
