And so that was Cairns eh?!?!....
We came, we saw, we drank... and well we lived the life of the rich and famous.... sorta.
So we arrived in Cairns, eventaully makig our way to the hostel we had booked... We arrived with little hope of anything beyond sketchy, well we were very surprised that we had managed to book ourselves into the royal plaza of hostels.. Infact I don't think we can even call it a hostel... Truelly it was a resort, basically there were a handful of actual backpackers there. The swimming pool was actually clean, and even had a little waterfall thingy, there was a "bubble" pool, a bar, a fridge in our room and a sink (now that was us being spoiled), airconditioning that WE controlled... We didn't know what to do withourselves.
On our second night we managed to hook-up with a couple people and headed towards a local bar called the Woolshed...before hitting the bar the group of us hit the bottle shop and pre-drank in a park on the way there... always a good sign...on to the bar... Well jesus, it was quite the bar... dancing up a storm, 5 tequilla sunrises each for $12... Now that is not safe... (don't be fooled that is not all we drank)... and generally good times all round. We managed to make our way home sometime after..ummmm... 3ish... (times a little sketchy).
We liked it so much we made our way back again the next night, although we did manage to leave alittle earlier...
On the Sat. Pixie and I joined a bunch of people and boated out to the great barrier reef for some snorkelling fun. It was awesome, the water was a nice 27 degrees... yes that is the OCEAN temprature... the reef was beautiful, and we tok tons of pics with an underwater camera. It was quite the natural wonder for sure!
We spent the majority of the week lounging around the pool area, getting some sun.. well that is until we got too much sun, and burnt the shit out of ourselves... which led to both of us getting colds..BOOOO....
In the end we exited Cairns via our Camper Van on the monday..
We just want to put a quick shout out and a HUGE thanks to Nejla... You rock girl.. you had better make it to Canada, you know we'll hook you up!!!
