Thank god there is a Starbucks just over the road! Was much in need of that this morning! Booked a trip to ride quad bikes through the jungle and see the Big Budda, had some breakfast at an Irish bar first then got picked up. Drove for ages into the jungle, saw my first elephant which grabbed me round the neck with its trunk, so cute but didn't like the fact that it was chained up. Got on the quads and spent about 30 mins in the jungle riding up and down massiv...

It's raining! Like chucking it down but so hot!! Had a wonder round the streets, bought some shorts for 120 baht which is like £2.50! There is a huge shopping centre so had a look round there and decided to go to the cinema! Was so cheap! Watched fantastic 4! Had to stand up before the film to sing the Thai national anthem!! Had finally stopped raining when we came out so we walked along the beach. Found some trips we wanted to do and headed back to the hostel t...

Landed about 7:30pm and realised that I had mixed my days up and heather was not arriving till tomorrow so had to find myself a hostel and find my way there! Pretty scary but exciting, my first adventure on my own! It was sooooooo hot when I got out the airport but also raining! Found it fine, even though the taxi driver pointed me in the wrong direction! Hostel is really nice, just crashed out when I arrived! Had a really good sleep!

My last day in Cairns today, really sad about that, have fallen in love with this place! A group of us decided to go to a Crocodile park today, about 40minute drive up the coast, amazing views again! The crocodiles were HUGE! And so many of them! Got to go on a boat cruise around a lagoon with loads of crocs in it and they fed them off the boat, the noise was insane! A couple of them had a fight in the water over the food right in front of us! So cool! Also watc...

Had a big night last night!! Sat drinking goon (wine from a box!) at the hostel with everyone, playing drinking games and goon pong! Went to a place called PJs which had a live band on, they were really good, cue crazy dancing and falling off bar stools, am now covered in bruises but so worth it, had such a good night!! Woke up feeling like death though! Major hangover! Went to find coffee with Laura and did a bit of shopping but then just crashed out in the TV ...
