Cairns-Day Four

Last Day in Cairns!

Justin and Tyler bungeeing 

After our brekky (toast, again), Heather and Katie went with our crazy Aussies to witness them bungee jump! Tyler and Justin had never gone before and they were playing it cool, but seemed a little nervous. Only two spectators could go, so Lindsey, Lauren and I walked around Cairns for four hours enjoying the hot weather and tons of shops. I noticed that most of the stores on Esplanade Street were American stores-Billabong, Roxy, North Face, etc. We spoke to different locals and they all mentioned how no one really comes from Cairns and there’s nothing to actually do there unless you go on a tour. I didn’t really believe them at first because I can find adventure anywhere. But after talking to people and exploring for a full day, I realized they were right. 

The Lagoon by our hostel!

Most of Cairns is just shops and travel agents to book tours to get out of Cairns. I also noticed that we fit in there, because the majority of people were international tourists like ourselves. We found very few Australians unless they were working at a store or giving a tour.

After lunch we met up with the rest of the crew at the hostel and heard about their jump. Justin ended up going for a second jump! The rest of the day we swam in the lagoon and laid in the perfect sun and breeze. 




We went to the Woolshed for the last time and left just before the live strip that was on for Ladies' Night there!
