I arrived at the Cairns airport after a very long two days of traveling. The plane ride from LA to Brisbane was very long and irritating, but I made it! I’m really glad that I have 6 more weeks before I have to get back on that plane, but I’m sure by that time I will be pretty excited to be coming home. After we all got our luggage, we met up with our tour guide, Roger. He seems to be a pretty amazing tour guide so far and I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with him. We piled all of our luggage into the trailer and headed for our accommodation. Since there are so many of us going on this trip, we have a bus that fits exactly 24 people, so it was a tight ride getting from the airport to the hostel that we were staying at. Once we got to the hostel, we were able to explore for a little while before we all met for dinner later in the evening.
Carnes is a large town that makes most of its profits from tourism. There were many interesting shops and restaurants that were along the main strip. After walking around town for a while, we found some street performers that we watched for a few minutes. I came to the conclusion that all street performers do the same acts, (such as fire juggling, swallowing various objects and swords) no matter where you are in the world. After we made it back to our room, we headed out to dinner, which was free! After dinner, and a long day of traveling, it became and early night for me.
Words of the day:
Accommodation – hotel or hostel
Give way - yield
