The activity only started in the afternoon. We went for white water rafting. Overall it was quite fun, not to mention that I was the first one to be thrown into the water. Oops. Well, our instructor also fell into water later that day. According to him, this kinda things happen, although not very often. When the water was calm, we actually had a little swim in the river. The water was nice and calm, but a bit too cold. Too bad we didn’t have our cameras with us for the obvious reason. We only had one picture on bus to the river.

After the rafting, we were pretty tired. So we had dinner in our apartment. The food was… not too good. Mainly frozen food. They were neither tasty nor healthy. Nevertheless, we were still quite happy. I like this shot. Very homely.

P.S. I wonder whether I can finish blogging about the trip before I head back home. I have been quite tired these few days. I think my entries make the trip sound quite boring. Well, more exciting stuff coming up. Got to go and sleep now. Tomorrow I still have big plan to exercise.

Day 1 of the trip was not very remarkable. After the 7 hour plus night flight to Brisbane, all of us were quite burned out. The morning of Brisbane was quite cold, but we were still quite excited. So we were doing the jumping shot while waiting for train transfer to the domestic airport.

Yay, we reached!

After another 2 hours of domestic flight to Cairns, we finally reached our apartment there at 2pm. Luckily, the rain stopped after we washed up, so we headed to the city of Cairns to take a walk. Cairns is quite a small town on the east coast of Australia. It is famous because it is quite near to the Great Barrier Reef. The town is very quiet, and not densely populated. Our apartment was quite near the coast, so we walked along the coast towards the centre of the town. Hmmm, the park was somewhat similar to East Coast Park, but it was so much more serene. We were lucky enough to catch this fading-away rainbow on our way. 

The centre of the town was about 30 min walk from our apartment. There was nothing much for us to see and the food there was insanely expensive. I shall not include any photos we took there because all of us looked extremely tired in the photos. After dinner, we walked back to our apartment after some grocery shopping. Day 1 ended quite early with all of us sleeping away at 10pm…
