Today we just flew from sydney to cairns, swam and hungout at the artificial beach in cairns and walked around through the city on our own. We left for Cairns in the morning and sat in the plane for about 3 and a half hours. Once we got there we took a coach bus to the rydges hotel, which was not very far away from the airport. There was nothing really planned for the day so we just checked into our rooms, put our bathing suits on and we all walked over to the artificial beach. The first thing that I noticed in Cairns was that at low tide there was about all mud for 75 yards out into the ocean until it finally turned to water. That was disappointing because it meant that we were going to spend the entire trip without staying at an actual beach. But relaxing in the grass at the artificial beach was nice and it allowed us to stop and really take in the country at a slow pace instead of rushing through everything as we were doing before. After that we were on our own to go eat dinner and do whatever we wanted for the rest of the night. My group went to outback jacks and I had some kalamari for dinner. Then afterwards we walked to the various shops and stores there until we finally headed back to the hotel.
