Cairns Part II

The motivation it takes for me to drag my sorry butt over to blogspot and start typing and uploading photos would shock and appall you. But here I am after way too long updating on things that are no longer relevant. *sigh* So here it goes!

So our second day at Cairns started with us dragging our tired butts out of our room and into the car. As you can see, this is what $32 a day can buy YOU!

And this is what $20 at Coles will do to keep you full for the day!

Cairns Part 1

So strangely, about a month ago (eek!), Christian, Jake, Koki and I decided to take a flight to see the one of those few unique and beautiful natural sights in Australia. After the night of debauchery that followed going to the Sydney Aquarium (video to follow!), we all woke up at 2:30am and took a taxi to get to the airport for 4:30am.

After lounging around for a few hours, we got onto our flight and flew out at 6am and arrived in Cairns (pron: Cannes in Aussie) in the north of Queensland. The weather, contrasting with the 10 degree weather of Sydney, was a balmy 26 degree Celsius.

Food Rant

To digress from my adventures (and long waited delay), here's something that's actually really near and dear to my heart. Please watch this and raise awareness where YOU are regarding the issues that Jamie Oliver brings up. Love him or hate him, he's putting forth something that I truly believe in. While it might be hypocritical for me to talk about healthy eating after destroying my body with sushi... nonetheless, consider it.

Take care!
