Saturday 5th January

Finally we managed to get up in very good time cos we had plenty of light shining through unlike our room we had in Collaroy! We had a very good night sleep with the air conditioning going. Once we got out of our room, we were hitted by the humidity as it was so high and definately very hot!


We started to plan what we wanted to do in Cairns so we looked at the hostel's travel desk to give us some ideas and we had discount vouchers from the travel agency where we booked our Greyhound Coach tickets.


We went to the Backpacker's World to book our adventures. We were hoping that the adventures we wanted to do would be in package to save us money but unforutnately it wasn't possible but however we still went ahead and booked our adventures. The activities we have booked are as following:


*Snorkel/Dive in Great Barrier Reef
*45 mins Scenic Flight over Great Barrier Reef
*SkyRail to Kuranda Village with Scenic railway back to Cairns


We have learnt that we have definately got up early than expected as we have worked out that the clock had been turned back by one hour!
We went on the internet that was free to use as we booked the activities with the agency so we made the most of it.
We then went to the Greyhound ticket agency to book our seats for the next stop to Mission Beach. Due to our activities being booked, we had to stay at our hostel for the extra 2 nights.


Once that was done, we decided to go for the walk on the harbour as it was nearby anyway. We also wandered around to see what the town have got for us.
We returned back to the mall to do food shopping as we only did the basic shopping yesterday. Daniel was desperate for another short so we looked around the mall and finally he found the one he was happy with and bought it.
As we were staying for extra 2 nights, we thought that we might as well do our laundry as we were running very low on clean clothes!

In the evening, we watched another dvd called Fun with d*** and Jane.
