First days
in Cairns have passed by rather peacefully planning the upcoming journey and
getting used to the Australian way of life. We have spent time by the lagoon
and esplanade, the heart of the city, eaten well and moved around a lot. Actually
our trip has turned out to be a true wellness camp.

The sporty
lifestyle of Australians is contagious. Jogging at 6.30 am by the beach route,
morning yoga at the lagoon and a hike up Cairns’s own rainforest trails makes
one feel good and are fun (and free!)
Superfoods
and healthy stuff in general have taken over the place, it’s a huge trend, and
they’re delicious! Also honey and tee seems to be big things here.

The first
tour of ours took us to see ancient rainforests and beautiful waterfalls at the
Tablelands by the “On the wallaby” company. We saw the gigantic fig three that
inspired James Cameron and Avatar, and then cooled down under the exotic
waterfalls of Millaa Millaa and Dinner Falls. Not a bad day.
