We got up ready to check out of the apartment at 8.30am. Then we walked to the bus stop where the Greyhound bus was picking us up for Mission Beach. It was past the lagoon and took 30 minutes to walk there with all our bags. It was so hot as well. Not nice to walk in 35 degrees heat with all our bags. The Greyhound bus was supposed to come at 9am but it was 2 hours late due to a fault with the bus. Not a good start to the day. Finally the bus arrived and we got o...

I got up around 9am and walked into the city to go and use the internet to check my emails. Then I went back to our apartment to get ready as I am being picked up for the Port Douglas tour at 10.55am. Gina decided not to do this day trip as she wanted to do white water rafting on Barron River at 2pm. The day trip is with a company called APT. I got picked up from Cascade Gardens and then we picked up some more people on the way. It took an hour to get to Port Dou...

We got up and walked to the bus station around 9.30am as we are going to Cairns Tropical Zoo today. I went to buy the tickets while Gina went to Westpac to open another bank account for Australia. The tickets for the bus going to the Zoo only cost $9.60 each. Once I had got these I waited for Gina in Westpac. It took ages for them to set the bank account up as there systems went down for a while. When finished at the bank we caught the bus to Cairns Tropical Zoo....

Today we had a lay in after we had been drinking last night. We chilled out in the apartment most of the morning and Gina had to do some laundry. After some lunch we headed to the lagoon for the afternoon sunbathing and chilling in the swimming pool. Our days are becoming more relaxing and chilled out now as we were always on the go in New Zealand and doing loads of things. We need to recharge our batteries lol. We got an ice cream on the way back to our apartmen...

We got up and chilled out in our apartment in the morning. We have a TV in the apartment so we watched this for a bit. We then had a walk around the city and found somewhere to have lunch at a cafe along the Esplanade. We had a walk around the lagoon and up towards Cairns Harbour. Afterwards we went to find the Greyhound office to book some dates and times for our onward journey down the East Coast. We have already purchased the pass right down to Sydney before w...
