Heavy head this morning but woke up to glorious sunshine so can't complain! After packing up Paul, we headed to Skytrail. We viewed part of the Daintree rainforest from gondolas and had a little explore round, very pretty! In the evening, we drove back to Cairns esplanade, picked up some food from Woolworths supermarket and headed down to the promenade where we had a BBQ on one of the stoves provided. The atmosphere was amazing! We got talking to some other trav...

But still, Sarah managed to fal...

Also, we picked up our campervan today! It's incredibl...

We got a taxi from Cairns airport to Dreamtime Hostel about 10-15 minutes drive away. The hostel was awesome with a typical Australian Abo...

So after leaving the UK 35 hours ago, we've finally made it to our starting destination, Cairns!!! The hostel 'Dreamtime' is amazing so far! We're having a BBQ tonight with the rest of the guests where crocodile and kangaroo are on the menu! Looking forward to picking up the campervan (our new home for the next 3 weeks) tomorrow! So glad we are staying in a hostel for the first night, I didn't sleep a wink on the plane! Not much more to say really, just looking f...
