Day 99: Gili Air, Indonesia
May 5, 2023 — I moved accommodation today; as you’ll remember, I booked a different hostel for my next two nights in Gili Air since I was originally supposed to climb Mount Rinjani and then decided against it. I woke up late and skipped vinyasa yoga in the morning (it’s not my favourite style). I…

Day 89: Cairns, Australia
April 25, 2023 — Anzac Day. Most things were closed, so this was a pretty uneventful day for me. That said, I was up around 9:00am and took some time to organize my stuff — I’d done laundry the night before and it needed to get folded instead of laying on top of my bag…

Day 88: Cairns, Australia
April 24, 2023 — I woke up just in time for checkout in the morning (most of the places in Australia where I’ve stayed it’s been ten a.m., and Gilligan’s is no exception). I had my alarm set for 9:00am and basically ignored it until 9:40, at which point I simply had to get up…

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…
