C fucking airns

Today was the first day without rain here in Cairns. It's rather an unusual feeling to have dry feet again.

The rafting was good, if somewhat unspectacular. I ended up on a bus with 52 Americans out on an organised spring break. I was put in a raft with 7 girls, which initially sounded exciting, but after 4 hours on the water with them, screaming at the top of their lungs, shouting "Awesome" every 10 seconds and continually high fiving each other (I thought high fives were now officially passe?) I swear I was about to insert my paddle somewhere painful. I restrained myself and took to the beer as soon as we got out of the water.

Finally getting my sorry ass out of here tomorrow afternoon. The rain has probably moved on from Cairns down to Melbourne to greet me.
