Arrival in Cairns

So it's been asked if i ever have conversations with guys, and truthfully, no, not very often. Most of the guys i meet are traveling with their buds, and hard to break into a group. Also, seems like most of my room mates end up being girls, and it's just easy to go and grab a bite to eat or something together. Besides, girls, much more complex than guys, fun to talk to. Though a good mixture of both really livens things up!

Anyway, that was the random thought of the day.
So arrived in Cairns a little after 1pm today. That was after catching the 5:50am bus, the 6:20 ferry and the 7am greyhound. up waaaaaaaaaaaay too early. But cousin Russell had told his friends that i wouldn't be in till Saturday. So they were rather surprised by my phone call. But we got it all worked out and where able to roll with it.
And the food! Oh man, lambchops, potatos, broccoli, peas, a real good wholesome meal. Beats the traveling food i had been eating any day of the week.
Booked myself onto the Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Skyrail for the return from Kuranda. It takes me through the rain forest, and then ABOVE the rain forest. How cool is that going to be?
Sue and Tony are great though. Tony is an ex-navy guy and Sue is just so full of energy. It's fun being around them both, I've really lucked out. I mean, good food, good bed, and really good company.
After I get back tomorrow afternoon, i'm going to work out the diving trip and the day trips to the Tablelands, Cape Tribulation and the rest.

Another early morning, so off to bed!
