Chaggie woke up at around 07:00, and started to pack their clothes as they got ready for the trip up to Cairns!
Spirits where high after ensuring everything was packed up. Chaggie, after having no food left what so ever eating our $40 bargain of weekly food then had to settle for a MacDonalds breakfast, which as always is so good!
The day before Staggie had sorted out a Taxi service that would take us to Robina train station, it included a ticket for a train from Robina to Brisbane Domestic Airport Station as
well. This would cost Chaggie $45 each. Not bad. Chaggie got to the Airport at around 12.00pm and waited for the Chauffeur to ask for payment, Chaggie found themselves watching him drive off without asking. Excellent! Got away with that one (shows how crap the reception were who organised this transport and just forgot to ask for payment themselves). We arrived at the Airport at 12:00 giving us loads of time before our 13.40 flight to Cairns. However our flight was delayed till 14.35 which was irritating.
We got to Cairns at about 18.00, and after a long long wait for our bags, we arrived at our hostel, in the middle of a busy restaurant/hostel street on The Esplanade. Off we went up to our room, to find it consisted of a bunk bed and a sink. That.. was.. it. A bit of a shock, but we just had to make sure that we were busy most days and not stuck in our room!
After dinner, Chaggie went to bed at about 11pm after all the noise had stopped in the Common room in our hostel. Hoping to make friends with the rest of the Backpackers within the hostel, we soon found out that it would be difficult seeing as we are the only Brits and english speaking travellers. Lots of Korean and Chinese all staying within their groups. Not very approachable. Spirits were not quite as high now, but it could only improve, SURELY?!
