Cairns

Wow this is very late! I didn't realize that I haven't written about my last stop on my east coast trip. Cairns was the last place Karianne and I stopped along our trip. She only had a few days there so we had to pack it all into those few days. We went out to the Great Barrier Reef one day, and swam with the fish, sharks, coral, and all the wonderfulness of the Great Barrier Reef. It was fantastic and the pictures really don't do it justice. It was such a fun experience. The day after we went out to the rainforest and did a day long tour of the Atherton Tablelands. We saw several waterfalls, rivers, and lakes. It was a long day but very fun. Karianne left the day after and once she left it rained the majority of the next week of my travels. I didn't do much during that time, just visited the shops, went to the movies, went out with friends that I had met along the coast, and said goodbye to new friends that I met along the way. Cairns Ironman was happening when I was there, and a girl I know from Sydney was competing in it so I went and cheered her on and was shocked by how well she did in her first Ironman. It was a nice end to the trip, however I didn't like Cairns as much as some of the other places I visited along the wast coast. The city itself was run down and a bit dodgy.

Now back to Sydney to try and find a job and get my visa apporved so that I can stay longer in the fabulous country.

Bye for now <3
