Day 1 in cairns

Cairns is beautiful! We are now in aussieland, well actually Queensland Australia. Cairns is on the very northern part of Australia so it's really hot here. It's the beginning of winter and everyone walks around in bathing suits and is laying out. It's a great change after being in the freezing cold country of New Zealand. We are staying at dreamtime travellers hostel. We love it so far! It's very laid back and there's a little pool and lots of hammocks. The people who work there are great and helped us book our snorkeling. We woke up at 7:45 this morning and showered then booked snorkeling. Headed to central station and walked around the shops then walked all around town. Got to the beach and got gelato at 11am haha before we even ate breakfast. Sat by the water then headed back for lunch and got subway. Got towels at the hostel and just headed back to the beach to lay out. It's gorgeous, there's mountains and water and palm trees, its so great! We are cooking pasta for dinner tonight to save money then going to see sex and the city!! :) we are having a low key night since we have to be ready to snorkel at 7 am!
