There are many hostels in Cairns. This one is quite in the evening and just a few streets from the roudy backpackers... You know kids today... they're so rude. After a couple of days it starts to feel like home. The staff here is excellent. They call everyone by their first name and know where you're from and where your going, etc. It gives the place a warm, personal feel. Today is my last day however... it's a van from here on. I'll post pics of my new digs later.<BR/>Sorry to hear it's sooooo cold, Greg, you should consider wintering in a warmer locale... :-)Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313201330901847146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110330912878247340.post-58760898464656494912009-02-11T19:50:00.000-05:002009-02-11T19:50:00.000-05:00The Travellers Oasis looks more like a cool little...The Travellers Oasis looks more like a cool little hotel than a hostel...The adventure mobile looks like fun... who uses it? OK, so this is what I heard on the news today...Apparently, the state record for coldest temperature ever recorded was just broken. The old record was -48 degrees (all these temps are air temps, not factoring wind chill), recorded in 1925 in....Van Buren. That record was just broken. The new record low for the state ever is now -50, recorded recently in Big Black Rock, an uninhabited area in the very NW corner of Aroostook County near the Canadian border. Incidently, the record low for Mt. Washington in NH is "only" -47, but of course factoring in the wind chill drops that much lower. I must say, you picked a good winter to not be here....!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110330912878247340.post-26750676953810384012009-02-10T17:06:00.000-05:002009-02-10T17:06:00.000-05:00JP, I think you need Lise's cleaning lady...sheesh...JP, I think you need Lise's cleaning lady...sheesh. :)<BR/>I'll bet the guy with the sardines and brown rice would appreciate a gourmet meal from a fellow resident.
