Melbourne - Cairns

After an emotional goodbye to Maddy this morning, we set about putting our worldly possessions back into our backpacks which have slowly been spreading throughout Maddy's apartment over the last 2 and a half weeks. As we will be seeing Mad's again in December she has kindly let us leave a bag of stuff at hers to help lighten the load. It turns out we have accumulated a lot of souvenirs, tickets and other random stuff. We have also left behind the thermals as hopefully we aren't going to be needing those again in Australia.

For lunch I decided to keep Simon happy and take him to Nando's. The food was ok but not on par with Nando's back home. It's more of a fast food place here with a slightly different menu.

At around 4pm we said goodbye to 66 Fraser Street and made our way to the airport via the tram and then a bus. It was a 3 hour flight to Cairns and when we stepped off the plane we felt the heat that hits you when you go on holiday! HOORAY! It's finally warm!!Read more
