Cairns Nightlife

We actually have not seen much of it. After our first day recuperating from the flights from NZ to here, we spent much of the second day trying to arrange what we were going to do in NE Australia. Kelly was quite stressed, although I'm not sure why because I was doing almost all of the telephone calling and kiosk visits. At checkout time on the second morning at 10am, we decided to stay two more nights in our current hostel apartment. We have since been shopping for food and cooking (and drinking during movies) more in the room. The picture shows what other backpackers have at our hostel as far as dining room and living room accomodations.


So basically we have been making our own nightlife because otherwise I would feel like I am partying in Transy dorms. Our first night here, we missed out on a bartop pole-dancing contest at a local bar. The second night we were awakened by two girls outside our apartment door frantically making their way to the wet T-shirt contest. And yesterday we spent the day at the lagoon with people mostly 10-15 years younger than us discussing how/where they were going to get their next job, beer or girlfriend for the night.

So we are having fun making our own fun!
