Cairns, Australia (4th-7th Aug 2010) - II

Flight No: CX103/CX102 (HKG-CNS-HKG)
Date: 4th - 7th August 2010
Flying Hours:
7 hours 5 mins
(GMT +1000)

I swapped in this 4 days direct Cairns flight and a Bangkok overnight with my original 4 days Toronto, a good swap indeed. This time I flew with another 4 Malaysians, ISM (Annie Loo) and SP (Eileen) are Malaysian, and another 2 BC, Alan (my classmate) and Jessie. It was quite happy to fly with so many Malaysian crew, you can hardly see so many Malaysians in the flight, not mentioning the KUL and PEN flight.
I have planned for a road trip hiring a car before the flight and I have invited Alan to join me, invited Jessie too but she's having medical problems and she couldn't join. Alan invited ISM and SP along too, so there're 4 of us who went for a road trip all the way to the North from Cairns to Cape Tribulation.
It was my first time driving out of my country and it felt great and awesome, and I am gonna do this more often in different countries so that I can explore more places, especially the places that public transports can't be reached. Of course, we can enjoy the flexible time all on our own.

Our journey on the 6th Aug:
Cairns - Trinity Beach - Palm Cove - Daintree - Cape Tribulation - Port Douglas - Cairns

Alan and I organised a barbeque dinner on the day of arrival, every crew attended. Each one of us contributed AUD20 for the food and drinks. Here's the evidence that we stole the trolley again from Woolworth, and pushed all the way back to our hotel, Rydges Esplanade. I mentioned "again" as this was my 2nd time pushing the trolley illegally back to the hotel, I did it once during my first time to Cairns last month. I really need to apologise for not being thoughtful and I am really feeling sorry for the peoples who's helped in returning the trolley back to Woolworth.
