Cairns

Living near the airport is amazing. $14 Uber ride. Done. 👏🏼👏🏼
BEYOND anxious this last week. Have been watching the 11am announcements religiously waiting for a snap lockdown because the QLD dearly loves to do that 😅
A few cases popped up last week or two which seem to have been contained but it could have gone south rapidly and we would not be entitled to a flight refund.
This is an impulse trip because Will had Jetstar credits because of flights he bought previously but got canned because of covid.
This time around that make it clear covid is ongoing and you are booking at your own risk.
Insurance an option but HEFTY so we took a gamble.
Currently on the plane so it seems to have worked out ok.. still stressed because if lockdown is called to start tomorrow we are still meant to follow eve if not in Brisbane because we have been there recently. So 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Made a mini scene at the bag check.
Put my headphones through but the didn’t come out the other side so the TSA people stopped the conveyer belt to look for them.
Bloody Will had them.
Don’t touch people’s stuff without telling them at the airport. 🙄

WHAT A STRESSFUL DAY.
When we landed we had a missed call.
Long story short - they are selling our rental property.
So we have been investigating the option of buying it ourselves and I honestly just feel sick. Too much. We get a puppy in 8 days. Where am I gonna put it.

We had dinner at the salt house and I tried an oyster.
Revolting as expected.

Ok so ended up doing indervidual posts for our 2 activities - Daintree and Great Barrier Reef.

Loved the reef. Daintree was eh.

Cairns was dead considering it was school holidays. Most places only open for dinner.

Lockdowns preventing interstate ppl.

Have decided not to buy our rental but have decided to buy somewhere. So starting the process. Feeling less stressed now.

I actually felt unsafe in cairns. I don’t want to walk the streets alone.
Lots of drugs and alcohol affected people about.

Liked it well enough but don’t have any overwhelming need to go again.
Delighted to have finally been though.En savoir plus
