26.06.2005 – Sunday 26 June – Cairns & Home

6am

• We all woke up and got ready, leaving for the airport shortly after half past.

7:45am

• Our Virgin Blue Boeing 737-800 executed a successful takeoff, flew for a couple of hours, and successfully landed in Cairns.

10:15am

• We met Shan and Kylie at Cairns airport, picked up our luggage and drove to Cairns Central for a milkshake and breakfast. Unfortunately, Cairns doesn’t seem to have any good milkshake places, so it was a small, expensive, and rather average milkshake. I then bought some shoes.

Afternoon

• We drove home via the coast road. This was perhaps not the best idea, as the creek crossings were only borderline passable for a conventional vehicle. Fortunately, we didn’t actually have any problems – lightly hitting some rocks and taking on a little water but nothing serious.

Night

• We went for a quick walk down to the Home Rule Bridge and then spent the evening talking to Dad and Mum.
