Leisurely breakfast of many choices [ $5.00 per head] followed by Blog update whilst Dot attended to a couple of days wash.
Prado start assistance required by Tony, [ tyre lever tapping starter motor numerous times] then off to Pacific Toyota – Cairns. Toyota Service Team advise that replacement part arrived & that before replacing the starter motor, it would require inspection to see if contacts/ solenoid could be repaired, and if not, then referring the current starter motor to Toyota Warranty department for examination & APPROVAL to replace under warranty. Apparently approval for replacement of a Prado starter motor under warranty was organised the previous day, for another vehicle.
We are told Prado should be finished by 4:30pm, so Michael is back to the Hotel with chauffer Tony & Jenny.
Dot & Michael wander around the Cairns CBD for the morning looking for a replacement pair of sandals for Dot and visiting various galleries. Success in finding a pair of Tevas. This was followed by a very leisurely lunch overlooking the lawn and pool area on the foreshore. Dot found a half BBQ Crayfish while Michael had one of the best & freshest seafood basket with wedges & salad……He could not finish it all.
Strolling back to hotel Dot & Michael come across Tony & Jenny about to start lunch – pancakes for Jenny and Swiss Ice Cream & Cappuccino for Tony.
Michael receives call from Toyota to advise that starter motor had been replaced under warranty and at no charge, so he is off to pickup Prado following the Hotel Courtesy car driving him to Toyota.
Both couples took the opportunity to replenish supplies from the local supermarket for the next 4 – 6 days.
Evening meal was again followed by an easy stroll into the City Centre via the foreshore boardwalk.
