Hi everyone,
bet you're all missing us loads, but you'll be glad to hear that after 36 hours travelling we've arrived safe and sound here in Oz!
Cathay Pacific was a really good airline, really comfy seats, loads of entertainment and most of all, stupid amounts of really nice food and drink (FREE!) We were stuffed by the time we actually got to Cairns. We had to wait at Hong Kong airport for 6 hours which was incredibly boring, we were surrounded by designer shops like Gucci, so we couldn't even spend any money! Then we had to get 2 more flights to get to Cairns!!
After arriving in Cairns, we got picked up by our courtesy bus from our hostel (How nice of them!) Walking in it was kinda what we expected, a 6 bed dorm, sleeping in bunk beds with randomers around us! They're quite nice though! At the moment we're sharing with 3 guys and a girl. We've also got a pool, bar and o yeh the kitchen (we're not in all inclusive now! hehe) So our first night wasn't very eventful, we just slept after all the travelling, and woke up bright and early for the next day.
Today we got up at 7am and had showers, then had our free breakfast which was toast with jam and butter, and some not particularly nice weetabix, not too keen on Australian milk either! but hey it was free so we weren't complaining! We got the shuttle bus to the city centre to have a look around and go shopping. We went to a supermarket and bought ourselves some pasta, sauce and crisps to feed us for a couple of days. We were quite proud of our cheap home brand shopping, you can't go wrong with 'Cole's smart buy', basically Tesco value! After getting back to the resort we did some much needed sun bathing, it was absolutely scorching though so we couldn't hack it for long! We'll have to build on our sun bathing stamina!!
That's about all we've got up to so far, hope all is well in England! xx
