Hi,

I have had a crazy day of travelling, got to the airport at 4am and my flight was delayed until 10:30am! So they decided it would make more sense to send me to Sydney where I would then fly to Brisbane and catch my original flight to Cairns in time, but obviously me being me it wasn't that simple!

I had a 3 hour flight to sydney and when we arrived there was a 3 hour queue to get through customes for some ridiculous reason so I managed to push in and cut my waiting time down to about an hour but it still meant that I missed my connecting flight. This made me hate Sydney already and I was supposed to be giving it a second chance, it is definaitely my unlucky city!

Then I tired to get a new flight to Brisbane but they were full so they upgraded me to a fancier plane but I still missed my next connecting flight in Brisbane and they are all a bit retarded here so nobody could understand why I had gone to Sydney first so that took about 40mins explaining before they let me have a ticket for my final flight! I finally got to Cairns at 4:30pm!

Cairns is a tiny little place and I was expecting a huge city! It is soo hot here too, I walked 15mins from my hostel to the city center and I was covered in sweat! I think I must have lost a stone!

I went into a shop to find out about scuba diving course but the woman was so excited about it that she sucked me in and I booked it straight away! I start my training on Friday with 2 days of pool training and exams, then we go out on a boat for 3 days and 2 nights to the great barrier reef and have 9 dives which seems like loads. I'll definately have a lovely new ear infection next week!

I'm just going to spend the day chilling here tomorrow because we have a pool at the hostel so that'll be good. It's free dinner and breakfast at the hostel which seems too good to be true so I am just about to go and sample that! I'm knackered so it'll be an early night tonight.

That's all for today, good night! xx
