Cairns - July 15, 2013


I traveled from Brisbane to Cairns today.  It was pretty normal travel.  They don’t make you take your shoes off at the airport security check.  That is really nice.

Cairns is warmer than Brisbane and on the coast. There isn’t even a blanket on my bed, just a sheet.  I’m not sure it’s that warm.  You know me and my cold thing.  I went and asked for a blanket and they couldn’t find one but said they would keep looking and bring it up.  That was an hour ago…no blanket yet.  I think I’ll be ok, but I would rather be too hot than even a little bit chilled.

I haven’t seen much of Cairns yet.  I get the feeling that Cairns is really just the launching place for other expeditions.  So I have spent some time this evening trying to decide which expeditions I am going to do.  The girl at the reception desk of my hotel was very helpful in helping me know which tours are worth doing.

I had a dinner at a restaurant looking out into the bay.  It is really strange, there is hardly any surf here.  I mean hardly any, it’s like a lake, not the ocean.  I’m sure I’ll learn more about it as I spend more time here.



P.S.  I do apologize that my posts are not being posted daily and that it seems like I am so far behind.  The internet service in the hotels here in Australia is rather sketchy and it makes blogging difficult.  I am writing everyday, I just can’t load the pictures and post very easily.
