Day Five – Cairns – A Lazy Day in Cairns

Today was a pretty lazy day. I woke up late actually not suffering from a hangover at all. I headed into town to buy myself a SIM card so I could get internet everywhere and call people. I also did a food shop and looked around the shops for some Christmas shopping.

After I’d set everything up I came back to the ‘Goon Room’ and chatted to Rob and Owain for a bit before heading down to the pool with them. Cheri, Tash and Jack came and joined us for a bit before it started to get cold and I had to go back up.

I showered and got myself ready before going to make dinner with my food I bought earlier. However when I went to the fridge to get the food the cleaners had thrown it out as I had forgotten to label it. Not only was I annoyed because it was a waste of money, I was also starving. So Rob and I went to go get a burrito from down the road which was pretty good.

By now it was time to get ready and start the’Goon Room’ ritual yet again. And so the night went from there. I feel so lucky that I have such a good group of people who actually want to go out and have a good time because I’ve met some really quiet people here. I’m starting to feel like it’s home here and these are my friends and I couldn’t ask for anything more.
