Had to say goodbye to Kate in KL which was sad after spending so much time together. We headed to KL Sentral train station and then went our seperate ways. I caught the train to the airport, caught a flight to Singapore and then had a 6 hour wait in Singapore airport. My next flight was to Darwin where I waited for a couple of hours before catching my connecting flight to Cairns. It all went so smoothly until I reached Cairns airport and my airport transfer was n...
