Where I stayed
Cairns, Queensland, Australia
Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Got up at like 6 and got ready, really panicked myself as i looked at the time at one point and where i've still got it on English time, i added 8 hours instead of 7 and that's never nice, nearly having a heart attack first thing in the morning doesn't set you up to great for the rest of the day i tells ya!
Got the first flight to Singapore, waited around for hours and hours then got my "Qantas" flight to Cairns, except it wasn't with Qantas it was with Jet Star which is basically like efing Air Asia or Ryan air or something! How can they do that? Change it from a buff airline to shit air! I was well pissed off, didn't even get a free drink on it! Did sit next to a really nice Singaporean and his sister though, they were getting off in Darwin and offered to take me into the city and said I could stay with them if I wanted, how nice! Just wish they'd been heading here too. Had basically no sleep the whole time and when I finally got to Cairns I was stood in the cue for immigration/customs and they came round with a bloody sniffer dog, I just knew something else was going to go wrong and yep, the dog starts sniffing my bag, excellent. I knew they were waiting for me then as I could see them and even though I knew i'd done nothing wrong I was still terrified. I got to the man who checked my card and stuff and had a little chat, he asked where I was staying and I said the Sunland leisure park and his face was a picture, he went "oh, have you paid for it already? It's really not very nice!" fantastic, i'm just about to be arrested and now even if I don't i'm going to stay in a horrendous trailer park. Anything else want to go tits up today?
I got through there and yep, the lady pops up and says can you come with me. She asked where i'd flown from, then asks did you take any drugs there?! No, I definitely did not, all the time thinking shit I bet the mask and musical instrument have been loaded up with cocaine or something, i'm a bloody mule and going to end up in an Ozzie prison for the next 20 years.
Luckily i'd declared it on the card that i'd got wooden objects etc, but i'd forgotten some noodles I had in my big bag.
After about half an hour, and after having everything searched and swabbed I eventually got out. I was so tired and stressed out by then I don't think I could have coped if the trailer park was a shit hole so luckily it wasn't, I had this "villa" type thing that was basically a big room with a bed sofa wardrobe and little kitchen area that had basically everything you need! It was lush I drank about 10 coffee's then went to the shop, they didn't have a lot so ended up making some pasta with tomato and garlic, really boring but it was nice to make something myself!
Watched tv, had a swim and slept.
