Cairns: Day 1

---

Finally landed. 3 layovers and 19 hours later, we made it to Cairnes. Before we left, I bought homopathic vitamins off amazon to help with jet lag. I don’t know if it was the vitamins or just the adrenaline but morgan and I have transitioned really well. We are staying at Gilligan’s hotel for backpackers. It’s really neat! It reminds me of a college dorm more than a hotel. It also has a really neat bar overlooking the pool. (Will send pictures later). Morgan and I spent the afternoon walking the board walks and watching kids swim in the Esplanade. During our walk we kept talking about how Australia reminds us of our home videos from Japan. We keep talking about all the fun things we are going to do! We asked the concierge what countries people normally come from for this contiki trip and she told us it is mostly Americans and Canadians. I think Morgan was sad there won’t be more Australians haha. Will update you tomorrow! Love you!
