Australia, Day 12

Day 12, Monday, February 15 2010
———————————-

We Checked-out in the morning and then we sat around Alice Lodge writing a bit in our diaries, paging through our Lonely Planets and lost in thought. Around midday we got a taxi which we shared with a couple of Germans who also took the same plane as us to Cairns. At the airport we checked our luggage and then purused through souvenir shops and I read my book, waiting for boarding time. The flight was uneventful, and once in Cairns we took a free bus to our hostel, where we would be staying for the next couple of days.

Once settles in, we walked along the Cairns promenade and had a short swim in the Cairns public pool as the beach is closed because of stingers and possible crocodiles.

Dinner we had at a nice but quite pricy restaurant called Perotta’s and then enjoyed a good nights sleep.
