Dunk Island view
After the ride we got ready and headed out to Cairns, the nearby city which I flew into. After settling into the hotel we were going to be staying in we headed out to get some sushi.

Afterward we were walking around town and happened to bump into an art gallery which had some interesting aboriginal Australian pieces. This went perfectly in tune with "Australia" as we had just finished watching the previous evening.
Afterward we headed to mall to catch the 3D showing of Toy Story 3. Its funny that all three Toy Stories were watched for the first time by me with my dad present. Pretty good tradition that we've kept :)
Ken was dad's favorite character!
Saturday started off with a jog on the Cairns boardwalk. Wish I hadn't forgotten my phone at the hotel room as the beach view was stunning and we also saw some spectacular yachts and ships at the port. After checking out we headed for a day around Cairns. Stopped by several book stores, a new age store and several sports stores.

Backpackers influence on Cairns
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!
We stopped by Casa de Meze, the Cairns salsa club, in the hopes of catching a free salsa lesson but found out it was going to be later that night so instead we headed to the food market then got some Thai food before heading back to Mission Beach.
He needed to turn his hat around to really chow down :)
Right as we were pulling up to the house we almost ran over this huge snake.
So we decided to go on an rescue mission to get him off the road.

Okay not so much me but hey someone had to take the pictures!
This morning got another taste of Australian wild life when I found this little guy in the laundry room, yikes!
Roughly the size of my finger!
Besides that today has been pretty mellow with no other plans besides catching up on the blog and some homework. Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday and til next time!
