cairns
i think i'll just try to post certain snippets and bits that aren't reflected in the photos.
1may whitewater rafting day
took the train to airport..aunt suvy sent us there..after that she even gave us a call to check if we'd got on the train alright..so motherly. we were really touched by that gesture. got msges from lorna, tracey and wayne telling us to have fun on our travels..tracey gave me a call too..to talk about the previous night. so basically emo-ed my way there. but i cheered up a bit when i saw weibin. it was good to see a good friend after 4 months. kinda like a warm familiarity.
was really tired, cause i only had about like 2 hrs of slp the previous night. but headed straight for white water rafting, that kinda drained me totally and i was exhausted and zombified by the time night came. had a good chat at the steak place, which was cheap but reallyyyyy dodgy. the foaming fury guy was called brett i think with the nickname 小胖胖 and he seemed to take a real interest to zj. he gave us good recommendations for korean food tho. he also mentioned something funny..we always say australians are laid-back, but in actual fact that's just a euphemism for lazy. haha.
2nd may green island.
snorkelling was a flop honestly.. cause of the water logged masks..and we should've gotten flotation vests..well i'm glad for my moreton snorkelling experience at least. i was happy that the birds crapped on weibin. there was pretty much nothing to do so thankfully we had that glass bottomed boat thingy too. i loved the chocolate mint biscuits we ate even tho it was all melted and i was having a sore throat..night markets that night was alright..nothing much to see cause it was rather small.. but the ice cream was the best really. ice cream always rocks, especially in large quantities. lol.
3rd may random walking around, botanic gardens.
okay i think in my opinion this was the worst day for me.. cause we thought there'd be the beach to go to.. i mean after all being cairns yeah? but the coast was just kinda like a swampy boggy area with crabs and potential crocodiles so u could only walk on the board walk..and i wore my broken sandal just cause i thought we'd be going near sand..and we ended up walking really far from the lagoon area to the botanic gardens area and my foot in the broken sandal was dying. morning we had macs breakfast, hung around and used the net, and watched a parade go by.. i think it was labour day that day..so pretty much a lot of things were closed? the botanic gardens was kinda bad also cos by then i was so sick of walking with the broken sandal i didn't enjoy it much and it was kinda stuffy too cause it was gonna rain and after that i rained while we were in the botanic gardens and we didn't really have a good place to shelter ourselves.. and i got bitten by mozzies as usual haha. lunch was good korean food...and then it was back to the hostel to take the shuttle to the airport..and we hung around at the airport till it was time to leave..and the stewardess made me stuff my hand carry luggage into the small measuring thing and i was trying so hard to do it ...and it was embarrassing cos a whole line of people waiting to board was watching me do it. and den she asked some other caucasian guy to do it also and his one was obviously unstuffable because he had the trolley bar thing which was already longer than the compartment itself and she was like it's alright just bring it on when she made me go to SO MUCH EFFORT to stuff mine in. i was really rather pissed after that. grr RACISM or SEXISM or whatever.
