Cairns, Australia

Well Cairns was kind of a bust as it was terrible weather all day long. We planned on going Snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef, but because of the thick clouds, rain and wind we had to cancel. Liz and I did hold Koba the Koala and got our photo with him (no Koala pee on me either!) and we met some crazy locals that liked to yell at the shop owners. But you know you're in Australia when the majority of clothing stores in a mall are surf-wear, the number of hair and barber shops outnumber those of anything else, and the liquor stores are drive thru!
