Gday mates! We arrived in cairns very early in the morning on the 27th October. After a short nap at our hostel we decided to go for a little walk around and explore our new city. It was scorching hot. South East Asia was hot but this is blistering heat...now you know why they all wear factor 50!! Anyway cairns is quite a strange city, we felt this was probably because we had arrived back into a 1st world, westernized country from South east asia but also b...

Out of all the islands we have been to so far these are definately the best. The water is so clear. All the way from the mainland on the speed boat you could see to the bo...

Hello there, So we left Ko Tao on a 9pm night boat. The boat was bascially an indoor deck with mattresses all over the floor for you to sleep on! Not the comfiest especially when you have a group of young americans and british mouthing off all night! (how old and boring do i sound!) Trust me they were severly annoying.
