Well it took over 30 hours, 3 plane rides, a lot of films and not a lot of sleep. But we made it safe and sound to Cairns. Flights were all really easy and smooth. Longest flight was 13 hours and felt it. All worth it now though. Arrived at Cairns airport and got a taxi straight to Dream Time Hostel. Very nice hostel, very clean with a chilled atmosphere. Having a BBQ here tonight with kangaroo and croc tasting. Had a shower and settled in a little and now currently sat in a hammock drinking a shandy in the lovely outdoors area. Just waiting for Chels to have a shower. Already had people going round trying to organise everyone to go out tonight. Think I'm going to like it here hahaha. Overall it's been a great start to the trip!
Well that was a great first evening, not a fan of kangaroo, however I would eat crocodile again!
Slight culture barrier tonight, nice lad offering out beers, which me and Chels kindly accepted. Then realised we didn't have anything to open with, no luck with a knife so went over to the guys table and asked if he had a bottle opener. To my horror I was informed it's a screw up, to which another lad at the table said aloud "it's Australia". Feeling rather red faced went back to our table with the now opened beers, and me and Chels had a good old giggle about it for a while.
Then there was a fire show and we got to learn some moves afterwards. We are both pretty bad. However, Chels learnt she has a talent at playing the didgeridoo, which we also got to learn all about. I again was pretty bad.
Passing on the night out and heading to bed. Lost count of how many hours I've been awake for now. Early start, picking up the campervan tomorrow :)
