I'm in Cairns!!

We safely made it to Cairns, and all our luggage arrived as well! The best part about the flight was they gave us cupcakes on the plane-yes, cupcakes. They were good too! I've never been on a plane where they had cupcakes. We are staying at a hostel called The Northern Greenhouse, and it seems to be a great place. It seems to be close to the center of the city. Amy and I walked around a bit, and spent the rest of the evening deciding what to do for the next few days. It's going to be a busy couple days....the Great Barrier Reef, the rainforest, the botanical gardens....I'll keep you posted!

It's super warm here, as it's further North. There are lots of hills, and again it's very green. It's supposed to be warm the whole time we are here. One interesting thing about Australia is it gets dark really early. It's getting to be winter now, so the days are getting shorter, but it still starts to get dark before 6pm. It was this way in Brisbane, and the same in Cairns.
