Cairns...In one word.....CARNAGE!
What can I say 7 Days of drunken antics. Cairns dull by day, wild by night! The city itself I have to say was not a place of beauty, but it was the only city that I could say had that Australian authentiity. nfortunately we arrived at the beginning of rainy season so we had no choice to find shelter, shelter being in the shape of a bar! ha ha! No we did do some sightseeing, of course you can't go to Cairns without visiting the great barrier reef, and what better way to do it than in style!
We took a boat out to the reef, spending the day scuba diving and snorkeling. I dove 10 meters and swam with 2 white tip reef sharks (wow), we then hopped on our helicopter that was waiting on a floating heli pad for us out on the reef, whisking us up and away. The birds eye view of the reef was stunning, the colours every shade of blue imaginable! We landed at Cairns airport where our car was waiting to take us back to our hostel he he he! Not bad for backpackers who are supposed to be roughing it!
Other activites included Quad Biking and yes you guess it more drinking! Photo evidence on Facebook!
Cairns was our last destination in Australia, we met some incredible people and had soem unfortgettable experiences. We will be sad to leave but will have treasured memories to last a life time. It's been an amazing journey so far, meeting people from all walks of life and nationalities; our favs have to be the Canadians; Crazy! A life time of memories and I'm sure some life long friendships too!orever!
Australia is a beautiful country, we had the time of our lifes. Our tummy's are still hurting from all of the laughter!
Roll on Singapore, onwards and upwards!
