Arriving in Cairns

Cairns, Queensland, Australia

Eventually, I did finally make it to Cairns. I checked into my hotel room and found out that I would be sharing with someone named Corina. I walked around a little bit, but I was tired and there wasn't much to see in the dark anyway, so I went back to the room. I was going to try to wait as long as I could before falling asleep, but I was out by 8:00. Corina came back after I fell asleep and introduced herself and stuff, but by morning I had already forgotten what she said her name was, since I was half asleep when I talked to her. 

Where I stayed

I was told to take pictures of each of the hotel rooms, but I actually only got a couple. Anthony has pictures of the Australia ones and Jessie has pictures of the New Zealand ones, though, so I can just steal theirs ;D

Another shot from the hotel window. At least it was sort of dark by the time I fell asleep!
