The last couple of days we havent had superweather, but today must beat them all. We had decided to leave the campingsite to go further north to Mission Beach.

The beach at Rollingstone, there is a huge difference between high and low water

We arrived at Mission Beach (named after an old missionstation) at 3 o'clock pm. and it has been pouring down ever since we came. According to the weather forecast it should clear up tomorrow afternoon, so we are planning on visiting a crocodilefarm.

Mission Beach is a small vacationtown and it doesn't present itselves as good as it could, when it's raining. There are pretty many small shops, and a lot of restaurants and coffeshops. We hope to get to see more of the town tomorrow in a better weather. We had chinese food tonight and it was good !

The area, we have driven through today, is clearly marked by the powerfull storm, they had in march. It must have been really bad, there are still lots of overturned palms and other things around us. Now we are only 130 kilometers from Cairns, so we still have plenty of time. I aim on getting Nicolaj with me on a fishing trip on wednesday. We wil try to book though the camping site tomorrow, and then just hope, there aren't to many waves!
