So then now we're in cairns, the most humid place in the entire world....or so we think. When i left off it was the night before we left. So from there i will carry on. The last day was very uneventful, woke up had breakfast, went for a walk in the park to the hot pools. Went back to the hostel mad some sandiches for the airport and waited until we had to leave for the coach. Coach took a good few hours and then we had to change for the bus to the airport. Got to the airport around 7.15 ready or the mammoth 12 hour wait. While in the airport we wrote, ate sandwhiches walked round looking at the shops, dranks three pints of subway coke all for the low low price of 2$, gotta love free refills. By 6.30 i had got absolutely zero sleep. Piece of advice, copious quantities of coke does not go hand in hand with sleeping. coca cola that is. However eventually i fell asleep...30 minutes before we were supposed to board the flight. Rudely awokn thirty minutes later so I could board the flight. Boarded flight, lovely personal tv screens showing movies ranging from Avatar to Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moon. Fell asleep for 5 hours woke up and watched the start of Avatar for the rest of the flight. At passport control they sniffer dog came round, those dogs just ake you feel guilty. anyway nothing came of it apart from the 35yr old guy behind us was taken away and never seen of again. Got to the hostel in good time but we had a few hours before we could go into our rooms so we went for a little stroll. Cairns is the most humid place i have ever been. You can smell ther moisture in the air. Smells wet. Walked round for a while went to the supermarket and stocked up on foodstuffs. Ten pack of noodles for 5$....dream. Went in the pool when we got back. This is one nice hostel. More like a hotel but a bare cheap hotel. Fell asleep after tea that night, was woken up by German people in our ro0om, stumbled out of bed to socialise. Henry went out with the Germans later that night however i fell into bed and drifted to sleep. Woke up in the morning all refreshed and ready to do something awesome. Shame Cairns is kinda dead then isnt it. We spent the day walking round, lazing, talked to the travel desk turns out it'd cost around 1200$ to go to Fraser island for 6 days.....guess thats kinda out the window then. Went to the pool for a while, phoned up Gordy and arranged to meet at midday the next day. We spent that night drunkenly stumbling between bars looking for people we know whilst swiping free beers from where people have left them (Henry not me, yet another tactic of his to get punched)
Woke up the next morning and jumped on the bus at 11, I annoyed the bus driver by pushing the stop button accidentally but apart from that the trip was uneventful. Jumped off the bus wondering how we would find him. Turns out it wouldnt be that hard as his restauraunt is 10 steps away from the bus stp. convenient? Had a lovely lunch with gordy, I offered to pay but he was ahving none of it. No complaint from me there, Went for a walk along trinity beach which was very pretty however the sign declaring that there may be crocodillios in the water kind of put us off. Went back to the hostel after and met our new roomies, a lovely little couple going by the names of Adam and Liv. lovely. They met some of their friends and they moved into our room and all of a sudden its a party room.... Played drinking games that night, it always comes back to drinking games, went down to the bar, that was tres boring so around 12 i trundled back to the room to talk to the sober people. Told them a long story about the wonders of New Zealand. I could talk for hours, Henry eventually interrupted the story when he came in, he wondered where i was, i told him. They all went to sleep cause theyre boring so it was only me, so i sat down and wrote my journal, went for a little walk around the hostel, called Hannah. Then went to bed. Woke up this morning very late. we've spent the day swimming sleeping and eating. Perfect day. Anyway must dash. Byeeeeee x
