Australia: Cairns

Tuesday Nov. 9:  Today we were so happy to leave the crazy Kanga House backpackers early in the morning.  A taxi brought us to the airport but our flight to Cairns was delayed.  Unfortunately this meant we would have to cancel our plans to visit the Cairns Zoo to see koalas and kangaroos.

When we stepped off the plane in Cairns we immediately started to sweat.  It was so hot and tropical!  A car from Asylum Hostel picked us up from the airport.  This is where we met Ruth from Germany.  She ended up being our roommate and she is so sweet!!  Asylum Hostel is awesome.  It has a tropical feel and the people are so chill.  That day after we got settled Steph, Ruth, and I walked down the boardwalk and hung out in the sun by the lagoon.  We saw mass amounts of people doing Zumba in the park so Steph and I decided to join in.  It was so hilariously random and fun!

Thanks to Cairns Hostel, we got free dinner at the Woolshed.  I love Cairns!!
