Time after time

When I arrived in Cairns (which the Australians pronounce Kanz) I only intended to spend a couple of days here. I thought a quick trip out to the Great Barrier Reef would be enough - after all, what else is there on offer?

Unfortunately I believe the weather is conspiring against me. The wind has been extremely strong today (it blew my polystyrine cup of tea over) and is forecast to get stronger. So much so that even if the boats are running out to the reef, visibility will be limited. However I have discovered a lot of other things to do to fill the time until I fly to New Zealand (30th April) so it's gone from two days to two weeks. I will be going to the rainforest, the reef, an island, a butterfly sanctuary and, possibly, a koala park (me want to cuddle).

I will be returning to the UK at some point... promise.
