26th melbourne to cairns.

Got up at around 5am this morning, flight it at 7am, and bus to the airport is 5:30am, nice.
had arranged for the night manager to book me out so i can get my key deposit back, however, i tried to wake him up, by knocking on his door, then knocking louder, then near enough kicking his fucking door down. but still no answer.
actually i am not surprised, because before this day i had found him, smoking cannabis outside the hostel. i also heard someone say there wasn't manager at the moment just an assistant manager, which makes alot of sense, as there so not meant to me any alchoal in the hostel, but every night there are people getting really pissed right outside my room. nice isn't it.

so no key deposit back. so i left them a rather "nice" message and left it on the recpetion, whcih i hope they got, yes there was a few swear words in the message and said thanks for the fucking key. i didn't actually take it because i was worried they might charge my card for a new key or something even though they have a depoisit, but i didn't leave it on the repection desk either to make them think i hard. fucking night manager prick. i can't believe he didn't wake up, i mean i nearly kick the door down, i was worried at one point then i had, when i kicked it. fucking stone head.

sorry to keep going on, but that did really annoy me (yeah you may of guessed that one !!) what is the point of making arrangements twice with the day staff if he isn't going to get up and book me out.

anyway, flight was ontime and was ok, nothing special. budget airline, jetstar, so was a little cramped but nothing to worry about was only a 2.5 hrs flight, so maybe not even that much. anyway i near enough slept the whole way, not a great sleep but one of those, close the eyes and time goes quicker ones.

landed in cairns. wow sun is shining weather is sweet yeah (thats a song incase you wonder) it is much better weather up here. down in melbourne it was only about 18c, still sunny, but up here in cairns it is only a meer 30c. hahaha, hows the weather in england then. hahahahaha

so got a free airport bus to the hostel, hostel seems ok. same as usual. decide i would head out of the hostel and just have a walk round the town. the town centre is about a 10-15 min walk. yeah walking again i miss sam ( the wicked camper people !!!) but it is nice and bright so i don't mind. located the town centre, nothing special. a shoping centre is right behind the hostel which is good to get some bits and bobs.

locate the lagoon, i was told they built a lagoon for people to swim in because the sea is not safe. soo many stingers, which i guess means jelly fish to the real english speakers, bloody ozzies with they thongs (flip flops) and i can't think of any other examples sorry. mess up our english langauge just like americans.. although not as bad.

chilled out near the lagoon read some more of me book, yeah i am reading alot, but it keeps me busy and i am quite enjoying the reading. and yes hopefully my spelling and writing my improve. lets me honest it can't get any worse.

back to the hostel, had an early night as i was tired. bloody getting up early is killing me now adays. getting old you see, 27, nearly 28. haha although not nearly 30 am i clair, lol.
