We only had 2 days in Cairns before our 2 hour flight back down in Sydney...we felt it was enough for us.... it was sooo hpot & humid!! we found Cairns to be a lovely town & we also stayed in a really cool backpackers (Serpent Nomads) we met up with girls we had met on our way up the east coast and the evening we got there they perswaded us to hit the town...after two days of relxing we just couldn't say no could we......?? they were tagging along with another couple we had met in Frazer so it was kinda like a little reuinion, we drank goon (Rose this though time very posh!!) and got the 10:30 bus into town, we headed to an irish bar where we again met many more people, backapackers all seem just to mingle in with each other and get along very well weve never seen any violence, everyones just out for a good time.....we ended the evening in the woolshed which was a bit of an experience!! cheeky monkeys eat your heart out!! very hot sweaty with alot of table dancing going on... it was ok but we could only handle it for an hour or so and we headed off.....waiting & waiting & waiting for 2hrs for our bus home.... as you can imagine it never came!! so we reluctantly paid for a taxi...we later found out that we were sitting on the wrong bus stop....fun...fun...fun!!!
The next day we ate our FREE breakfast...exciting stuff something for free!! & heading to explore the town...it was a kinda pretty little shanti town but on a bigger scale, no high rise buildings though whcih we really liked....we headed to the lagoon which was cool, its a man maid pool with wather features, picnic areas and sand for families to spend the day at, we had found a couple of places had them, generally the coastal areas that didn't have very good beaches, they're a great idea one we'd love to take home to the UK...but oh again we are reminded we dont have the bloomin weather!! we did alittle shopping checked out the mall which was really cool and headed home....whilst on our way back we were invaded by bats.....they must have been flying their nests around 7:30pm and we got right in the middle of it!! they flew straight over our heads!! we got a great picture though......
The next day we spent by the pool at the hostel, we took advantage of it because it was beautiful......& we really needed to top up our tans....lol we spent the evening booking our bus tours, trips and hostels for Sydeny & Melbourne in the next two weeks ahead & had a quiet night as we had an early start with our flight in the morning.......
Our flight was delayed 3 hours the next day but what was really cool was that each hour they were dealying it they would tex a message to let us know so we didn't have to wait in the airport just relax by the pool!! also when we got to the airport they gave us 15$ were of vouchers each to use in the airport lounge!! we were landed...well not yet anyways.....Sydney here we come!!
