Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Cairns » Cairns City June 2nd 2008

So once again Qantas confirmed themselves as a shit airline, jesus how difficult is it to get a fair paying passenger a veggie meal on a plane, in the end they had a spare meal, but thats not the point. I speak to them till im blue in the face and i have my meal confirmed and on the flight no meal?, i paid them 249 dollars between route a change and date changes and i get shoddy service.....so if i can possibly help it after my hong kong flight im never flying with them again. I got to Cairns at 4.40am and got a airport shuttle just after 5am and waited at the hostel till 10.30am to get checked in and get a room and so i was cranky and tired, i booked a barrier ... read more

So i grabbed some food from the supermarket as lunch was not included in the tour and i tried to book a surf lesson but everywhere apart from the bondi surf school are closing down for winter.

So i got to the airport in one peice after my last blog and the check in desks were closed and so i got chatting to this scottish woman who now lives in Oz and two other travelers James from england and John from Ireland. John was heading to Auckland first and then Oz and James had been traveling and then was going to Oz with a nursing job and a 4 year visa ahead of him. So check in eventually opened and i had fun and games as the check in guy kept making calls but did not tell me what the issue was and i had also asked for an upgrade or extra leg room and neither request was fullfilled, but it was worth a try. The guys waited on me and i eventually ... read more

So before leaving La Paz the plan had been to go to the san pedro prison with colin and alan these crazy irish guys or to go with these kiwiw guys i met, neither pair turned up and so i did not end up going, although im not overely bothered to be honest and in the end the money i would have used there i instead used at the witches market and got myself some bits and bobs and some gifts for my girlfriend and family including the cutest alpaca hoddie ever for my soon to be born niece Evie Lynn who is due around the 15th May 2008. I then chilled out in the hostel bar and met this cool english and irish guy and danish girl and we drank till the bar closed and ... read more
