Today we'd booked on the skyrail. We had to check out first because we have to be at the airport early hours the following morning so there was no point paying for an additional night. we left the bags in storage then waited outside. The minibus was picking us up outside the hostel and taking us to the sky rail entrance. We had booked our ticket online so there was no human interaction just a machine asking for our booking reference. we entered our reference and ...

Scuba day! We were a little bit excited today. We've not done a scuba dive for nearly a year and even though they said the cyclone wasn't near us I was still scared going out to sea. Lee was flapping a bit saying he'd forgot how to do all the checks, he wanted a refresher... Blah blah. We got on the catamaran and were ushered to the front with the other divers.

When we arrived it wasn't raining! We parked on the esplanade and went for a wonder around the night market and all the souvenir shops. Cairns has got loads of places to eat too. After a little shop we decided to head to our camper and go bed. Where we were parked it didn't have any time restrictions so we decided to just sleep there. It was in front of the sea with a row of hotels behind us. People were walking along the prom and cars were driving down the espla...
