Day 84: Cairns, Australia
April 20, 2023 — We started the next morning even brighter and earlier than the day before, waking at 5:45am for breakfast at 6:00am, in order for us to be on the bus at 7:00am. We did quite a bit of driving the morning, but that didn’t mean that we didn’t make several awesome stops…

Day 83: Cairns, Australia
April 19, 2023 — For the first time in several days, I woke up at a very decent hour — I would go so far as to say early, in fact — as I was going on Uncle Brian’s two-day Best of Both Worlds tour, which combines their Waterfalls tour with their day trip to…

Day 82: Cairns, Australia
April 18, 2023 — An incredibly lazy day today on the heels of a somewhat lazy day yesterday. I woke up extremely late (like, closing in on noon, late) and scrolled on Pinterest for most of the day. It was raining and icky outside and in my room it was cool and calm and dry…

Day 81: Cairns, Australia
April 17, 2023 — Today was a bit of a letdown compared to the excitement of the day before. I planned on perhaps going for a hike up Walsh’s Pyramid today and then getting a pedicure, but I just couldn’t summon up the energy to do either. Instead, I woke up at 8:00am (still a…

Day 80: Cairns, Australia
April 16, 2023 — Today was a day that I’d been looking forward to for quite some time. After changing the date a couple of times due to scheduling issues, today was finally the day of my Great Barrier Reef flyover with GSL Cairns. I got picked up outside the hostel, shuttled to the airport,…

Day 79: Cairns, Australia
April 15, 2023 — Today was another great day! I got up and had breakfast, changed, and went to the Cairns Aquarium. Probably not the best timing on my part, since it was a Saturday and it was pretty packed with parents and little kids. But it was still a very informative and cool trip…

Day 78: Cairns, Australia
April 14, 2023 — It was an exciting day with a trip to Kuranda! I woke up decently early with my alarm but then rolled back over for a little while because I was feeling a little headache-y and I didn’t want to get up yet. And, for me, if I don’t coddle my headaches…

Day 77: Cairns, Australia
April 13, 2023 — I had a bit more of a slow morning. I had breakfast after a quick grocery shop and spent most of the morning working on planning the rest of my trip and doing other administrative things. In the afternoon, I headed to the Cairns Art Gallery since I saw the day…

Day 76: Cairns, Australia
April 12, 2023 — My first full day in Cairns! I always love moving to a new place because it’s full of potential. Anything can happen, and you’re about to find out what will. I got up, dressed, and ate the rest of my Froot Loops, which I was very sad about but it was…

Day 75: Magnetic Island to Cairns
April 11, 2023 — I started my morning off feeling a little more steady than the previous day. Checkout time at this hostel was more like a hotel in that it wasn’t until 11:00am, so I took advantage of the extra time. I still had my unused breakfast coupon so I went to the bar…
