Another 10 hour bus journey, where matt saw a wild Cassowary a big rainforest bird and we arrived in Cairns! the floods didnt stop us and we made it to the top! Its absoultly boiling here as its in the tropical climate and you can really feel the humidity! Cairns is a nice place though, they have a boadwalk taking you right across the waterfront and a lagoon to chill out in and cool off. WEre staying at Caravella hostel and they upgraded us to a private room which was nice cos i hate having to be tidy in dorms,lol! It's quieter here than what i thought it would be, i reckon its because of the floods where people didnt try making it through or just gave Queensland a wide berth! Throughout the trip, i know its a big world but also a small one for bumnping into people! We got back to our hostel after our first day and Mic from Team USA was in reception checking in and then Josh&Steph were by the pool too, totally unplanned but nice! So we went to the woolshed for our free tea the hostel gives you, hit the bottle shop and had a few drinks around the pool! They love Gavin& Stacey so loved taking the mic outta our accent and tryna copy us too, quite funny!We promised them a gavin and stacey tour if they ever come to cardiff! They left the next day to start work at a avocado picking farm so they could extend thier working visa to stay in australia! The next day it was Australia Day, so we headed to the lagoon early and met up with our group from the Wings III boat and Team USA! That night we got Auzzie'd up, with our flag tatoos etc and hit Cairns nightlife, we ended up in Gilligans where we bumped into Team USA again, who had clearly not stopped drinking since the lagoon,lol! So we all had a dance and singsong celebrating Australia!! towards the end of the night, the club held a canetoad race, where everyone was placing bets on country's... goes without saying Wales wasnt mentioned! Canetoads are very poiseness so i havent gotta clue why people were picking them up but they were massive and quite funny to watch people trying to race them!!
