Checked out of our amazing flat in Mosman this morning. Took out the rubbish and left some items behind with the owner so our luggage wouldn't be overweight for our next flight. Leaving to return the car hire, I turned left where I should have turned left. I got in the right lane when I should have gotten in the right lane. All said and done, we got to the airport with an hour to spare. I think I'm getting acclimated to driving on the left side of the road.
The flight on Jetstar was one of the best we've had. Plenty of legroom and the row to ourselves. The seat storage is located on the headrest in front of you instead of down by the knees, love it. Jetstar is a no frills, low budget, self check-in airline. Checked bags can't be over 20kg (44 lbs) and carry-ons are only supposed to be 7kg (15.4).
We landed in Cairns
Rented a cute little blue Nissan Micra.
Enjoyed lunch at The Lily Pad Cafe, DELICIOUS, and checked out the mall to pick up some summer wear. Alecia didn't want to leave Target as she found their store floor-plan to favor our higher end stores, and the clothes to be more stylish than the Target back home. The dressing rooms were designed so you can see the front and back view with ease and the dressing room attendant called her "Luv".
Drove the amazing Captain Cook Highway and will stop at the Gatz Rock Piles located between Port Douglas and Palm Cove, keep an eye out between Ellis and Pebbly beaches. We hope to stop there on our return trip. Roundabouts everywhere along the route, almost every mile for a while. Roads here are much wider than in Sydney.
Arrived at our next destination, Hibiscus Gardens, and was amazed. The Airbnb places we picked have been very good to us this whole trip. Went grocery shopping and can't believe how small the apples are. Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.
