Anzac Day We went to Rusty's Market this morning to buy some fresh salad and bread for dinner, and then spent most of the afternoon on the internet sorting out accommodation and other things for Singapore. Our dinner was had on the balcony with a bottle of wine and using our pen knife cutlery (not an easy feat!), and we were then joined by the other people in our dorm room plus a few random strays who we chatted to for a while before going out. We went to the ho...

A Greek dinner with the Andres! Another visit to the lagoon today, and then predictably we went for something to eat! We were all quite dazed as a guy in the dorm room snored last night worse than anyone else I've heard in my life and we barely slept! He somehow managed to sound like a warthog crossed with a snake being strangled, and didn't even wake up when hit with a flip flop! We spent the afternoon on the internet and also phoned Emily as it's her birthday ...

Same old, same old We caught the shuttle bus from Port Douglas back to Gilligans hostel in Cairns this morning, and went to the lagoon to sunbathe as it was too early to check in when we arrived.

We had a wander around Cairns and went to the shopping centre to collect a few mundane things, but couldn't really find much to entertain us with! I think w...

Our intention was to watch the sunset at Anzac Park, but typically it was hidden by a sudden gathering of clouds. It ...

An early morning wake-up call! We were woken up at 5.30am by banging on the door - it was the police telling us to move the camper van! Lisa groggily drove around trying to find us somewhere else to park, and we eventually found a quiet residential street, where we slept for a couple of hours and then tried to get up and dressed without anyone seeing! The girls then dropped me off in Cairns while they took the van back, and then we bought a smoothie while we wai...
