All right, my cairns trip.
Day 1:
Arrived Cairns at about 6.30pm in the evening and headed to Bohemia Resort, the accommodation i would be staying at. Well.. first impression was.. good airport shuttle service.. but when we arrived there.. disappointed. No high class chandeliers, no bellboys, just a simple reception desk with ceiling fans. But well, what do you expect when you are only paying $65 a night. Anyway.. who cares about the reception, more important is the rooms we were allocated to.
After we got the key from the reception, we headed to our room. Shit, corridors that looked like the ones i had in old school, shared toilets like the ones we went for camping trips.. yap, it’s an old school backpackers accommodation. ARGH!!!! I was super pissed that my room didn’t have a ensuite, apparently i misunderstood something when i did the booking. I felt so sorry to K as she didn’t deserve this.. however, it was me who was more affected by it than her.
Anywayx, we went out for our dinner and went to Cairns Night Market. Had crocodile and kangaroo meat for dinner, somehow.. they taste like chicken. Then massage and back to the resort to Zzz.Day 2:
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving at Upolu Reef. The best day at Cairns!!! Fully equipped with underwater cameras, bby’s 7 mega pixel camera, sunscreen lotion, towels… etc.. I saw a small shark and a turtle!! And the best thing was that i could touch the living organisms at the great barrier reef while scuba diving! So exciting~!~ Shall upload photos when i develop the film though.. anyway, if you guyz do wanna go to Cairns, i do advice those 4 day scubu diving trips because that’s probably the only things interesting to do there. Cairns is a boring place (yes i agree with you Joelle), it’s so small it only has a population of about 120,000. Faintx.. and the city is so small we probably finished walking the main areas in less than 2 days. Anyway, it was an unforgettable experience and during the journey back, i vomited twice! Woodfired pizza and wedges for dinner.Day 3:
Day trip to some rainforest i can’t remember the name. Took the scenic railway up and took the cable car down. It was so boring the both of us wanted to go back so badly. Had japanese food for dinner and the kitchen forgotten about K’s order. In the end, we had complimentary green tea ice cream and fruits, at least the service was good. And the food is nice btw. Went to the Reef Casino at night and won $12 on the blackjack table. Spent it on massage again though.Day 4:
Final Day.. Can’t wait to go home day. Went shopping during the day after we checked out at 10am. Left our bags at the resort. Had Mexican food for lunch and came to a conclusion that taco and burritos are the best. We miss Sydney.Haha.. anywayx, joined gym again last week and played badminton with bby at the gym today. Pia-ed Witness to a Prosecution.. good stuff!! although it’s already an old show.
Japanese lessons officially start tomorrow!! Can’t wait!!
Delivery again later.. I NEED A JOB SOON~!~… ah_joy is poor…
Super lethargic now.. arms aching due to badminton.. think i’m going to take a rest.
