Cairns
Im sooooo angry I just spent 45 mins typing out this post on another machine and I attached my camera to put a pic in, and it crashed the machine, loosing my whole post!!!
Well it went somthin like this.
Im up in Cairns, its soooo hot, heard the weather man say that it was currenty 31, that was at 8am'ish.
Got the flight up here from sydney domestic airport, got the flight with VirginBlue, its like cheap flights, but it all electronic check in etc.
I met this Geman girl Marcella in the lounge, we got chattin and ironically our seats were next to each other. The flight was ok until about 45 mins before beginning decent when I think we flew into a lightening storm, there lightening crackling around both sides of the plane, and the turbulanc was daft, jump around all over the place, you can see why they ask that you were your belt. Landed about 930PM 27 degrees :) Me and German girl were stayin at different places, and this is no lie, but the place were I was at, "The Cairns Beach House" is an absolute flea ridden sespit dump!!! and thats almose bad on flea ridden sespit dumps. There was absolutly no1 there, I had a nice 6 bed dorm to myself, or I though I did, put my bags down and this mutated cockroach jumped out from under the bed, i nearly hit the roof. It was similarly scared when he saw my boot, but he cud run fast, i ended up splattin him with the post of 1 of the beds, I did a through check to mak sure there were no more in sight, I made the bed wacked the pants aircon on and went down the bar for a few beers. Wen I got bk to the room, I got into bed, felt very itchy and hot. Woke up in the middle of the night and saw the shadow of a black blob behind the bin, that at first I confused with bein a lobster....it was cocky's brother come to avenge his death, he shit himself when he saw the bin headin his way, he scurried straight for the bog....bastard cus I needed a piss. I just held it in and went back to sleep. Needless to say I got up nice and early, and checked straight out, didnt look back.
Had a real loss of sense of direction wen I left, like a compass nearly metal, I just cudnt tell which way to go, but I asked a couple of locals and they pointed me in the rite direction. Gots off the bus at the last stop and went to this hostel called Gilligans, ohhhh it was such a gud sight to se a nice lookin hostel, but I cant chck in til 2PM so i stored my rucksack and went to the cafe for a english breakfast, mite add it was quality, cudnt finish it there was that much :) Now ive just come for a look about.
Its a completely different pace of life up here to down south, every1 moves around really slowly, which im now doing, its because its that hot, you have to move slow. Gonna look at doin some scuba diving, was chattin to another girl on the plane, shes just done her open water cert in Thailand, sounds wicked, mite see how much it is to do it in Port Douglas, ment to be really nice up there.
