Day 48: Cairns

I love listening to radio in Australia, its like being transported back to the 80's. Every other song that comes on reminds me of when I was at school in Charters Towers. I know all the words.

Today we met Fritz. Oly had searched the internet for a VW mechanic in Cairns and came across Fritz's MySpace site. We sent him a message asking if he knew a mechanic in Cairns and he recommended Toby who did a fantastic job (thanks!)

Cairns is such a small town, we were crossing a road and Oly noticed a kombi drive by with the unmistakable spare wheel cover Fritz has. We then jumped in front of him when he drove past again. We didn't get a photo but hopefully we will be meeting up with them on the weekend coming and we can get one then.
