Australia

Fran-030 — So, my last day in Cairns. As I’m leaving so early tomorrow, I got my key deposit back, and they phoned me a taxi for 4am. Yippee. I had breakfast at a Turkish street cafe – humous, falafel, toast, and salad. Then I went to a different internet place and […]

Fran-015 — Finally, I chance for a lie in! Didn’t wake up until 9am! Cairns is apparently not that interesting in itself, so I wasn’t in any hurry to get out and about. Sod’s law that it’s good weather today! So I did my laundry, and had breakfast at the cafe out […]

DSCN1732 — I got picked up outside the hostel around 8am for my rainforest trip today. And it is raining a fair bit too. The drive took us through World Heritage Rainforest and along World Heritage Coastline. We passed Ellis Beach, but didn’t stop so I couldn’t get a photo of the […]

water-031 — I was up and out by 7am, wlaking to the marina for my reef trip. Half way there I realised I’d forgotten my towel, but decided it was OK because I had my sarong. Checked in at the counter, boarded, got my coffee and muffins, and we were off by […]

I’ve had a headache since I went to bed last night, and woken up this morning feelinhg really ill. It seemed to subside when I was eating, hence four slices of toast and a Milkybar. And lots of tea – that seemed to help too. Packed the last of my […]

DSCN1711 — It was the rain pounding on the roof that woke me up last night. Can’t really blame anyone for that. Most people’s favourite activity of the day has been sitting on the veranda watching the rain. A couple of people have been in the pool. I phoned Dad after breakfast, […]

DSCN1700 — I was woken up around 1am by two guys in the next room, one threatening to kill the other. At one point, I thought one of the bunk beds was going to come through the wall. The rain thundered down during the night too. Then, around 3am, I was woken […]

DSCN1681 — Anyone who was asleep before midnight got rudely awoken at 12.30am by screaming girls, shouty boys, people jumping into the pool. Boyd spent most of the morning apologising to everyone, even though he employs a nightwatchman to control these situations. I spent the morning chatting to Yvonne and Dave, who […]

It rained this morning. Kinda expecting it since it is the rainy season. So I had breakfast and chatted to a few people who were checking out today, while we sat around out of the rain. I made a start trying to organise New Zealand, since I couldn’t do much […]

DSCN1676 — I’ve done so little today. Boyd (who owns the hostel) keeps bugging me about showing my skydiving DVD, but I want to proof-watch it first – check it’s not too embarrassing! I tried to watch it on one of the internet computers after breakfast, but there is no CD/DVD drive. […]

capture024 — Scotty’s has a small shop to buy food and drinks from, so I got coffee and cereal for breakfast after waking up. I chatted to Clare, a Scottich girl who was checking out today, but had a few hours waiting in Scotty’s. She came here just to skydive. Apparently this […]

DSCN1663 — Still another 15 hours of the coach journey after the stroke of midnight, but I did manage to sleep a fair bit. We had a breakfast stop, then went for about four hours until Townsville, where we switched coaches and drivers. After Townsville we had another film – Kinky Boots. […]

Wet Season?

I checked out of the hostel at 9am, walked to the coach station with all my luggage (I’m so tough!), and then headed over to Coffee Club for the same yummy breakfast as yesterday. I managed to waste some time there, and got back to the coach station by 11am. […]

DSCN1657 — I woke up early this morning. Those three beers last night really took their toll. I’m such a lightweight! Anyways, luckily not many people want to go on the internet at 7am, so you can stay on for a long time. Managed to update my blog, but you can’t access […]
