Australia! First stop Cairns.

Just to let you know we arrived safely in Australia... only after my bag was taken apart at the airport in a random search- was really funny they kept shouting quarantine to check sand left in my bag - took a long time!
So different to be out of Asia with everyone speaking English etc. actually felt out of place yesterday.
Our hostel here is amazing- really didn't expect it to be. It's this huge complex with 6 people in a room, tv lounge and kitchen on each floor, a gym, swimming pool, restaurants and cafes and a nightclub! So nice to have a proper shower and its all completely safe with self-locking doors and at night you need to show your key to get into the actual building. I'm sure the rest of the hostels won't be quite as nice as this but hopefully i've put your mind at ease for now.

We met up with our two Norwegian friends who we met in Thailand- Karoline and Morton.
They're really fun people so glad we can travel together down the East Coast.
