Hey! So we got back to Cairns after our trip to the rainforest and the next day we got up and did the SKY DIVE!! You've probably already seen the videos and pics (if you haven't go to the message board and click the link)! It was so amazing but over so quickyly. We are both really glad we have the DVDs so we can remember what happened over and over again as it was a bit of a blur! That afternoon we did a bit of shopping and I bought a new bag to hold al...

We checked in dumped our bags and went off to the travel place next to our hostel to enquire about tours etc. One immediately caught Ems eye - The Flames of Polynesia - it only operates on Friday nights (luckily it was a Friday) but unluckliy the Ferry across to South Molle Island where it took place was full.
