Kate's Travels
Arrived in Cairns at about 7am after an overnight flight from Singapore. We had a half hour stop over in Darwin at about 4am which was only so interesting, but they were showing 'Finding Nemo' on a demo tv which helped to pass the time, especially as i remember watching it over a year ago and really wanting to go to Australia cos it looked cool! Hehe. So was a good intro to our first stop on Australian soil.
Our accommodation is really nice and has a pool, so we spent the morning sunbathing and catching up on the broken sleep from the flight. We are another 2 hours ahead here, so 9 hours ahead of the UK. Its really cool here, just like on tv, everyone is happy, says 'g'day' and makes everything sound like a question with their intonation hehe. Its also immensley sunny, about 35 degrees, so its nice not having anything to do apart from sunbathe!
We didnt do much else, just unpacked and booked all our activities for the rest of the week - we're gonna stay up here in Cairns til monday 2nd october. They show a film every night on a big screen at our hostel so we watched that and played pool!
The next day we went into Cairns centre. Theres a big shopping centre which is really nice and after lunch there we went to the Lagoon, the public swimming pool which is gorgeous and overlooks the sea (see the pic above). We hung out there for a while, and then had a XXXX in a bar over looking the sea (had to be done!). We are up early to go to Cape Tribulation tomorrow so an early night after a strenuous day! hehe
