Day Three

The zoo

sunny 25 °C

Hello day three, and we had a fantastic shower today, along with a spider above my head : ( lol was actually the scariest shower ever, but kind of getting used to it, as i've not seen one move yet! Today we had a stroll down into town in the early morning, and noticed there was a market. The market was pretty much filled with sarongs, pearl necklaces and over jewelery, but it was great to find something to do on our way to town. We also noticed that because the beach near us is just mud and sea, there is a massive public pool on the beach front (excellent).Once we arrived into town we went on a 40 min bus ride to Cairns tropical zoo yay was sooo excited! I AM GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY ON THE COMPUTER SO TO BE CONTINUED ..... At the zoo we had the opportunity to hold a koala and feed the kangaroo's, so i did, it was amazing i wanted to sit with the Roo all day. We saw a baby one sticking out of the pouch! Once we got back to the hostel, we sat down by the pool and a couple of blokes in there late thirties started chatting to us, we was a little worried but turned out they were really nice, gave us a lot of advice! Tim and Rob from north London, they asked if we wanted to join them for dinner and we said yes, but due to jet lag fell asleep and never turned up, so as you can imagine we felt terrible lol. We managed to spot them the following day and say sorry as they were leaving to go home. So that was about it for day three : )Oh yeah it actually rained today too for a bit, and was surprising pretty cold at night, we only have sheets on our beds so had to put a jumper on and pj's lol!
