Arrived in cairns after a pleasant flight. Thank god it's warmer here... slightly.
Beck and clare are here as well, but staying further out of town, but I never got to catch up with them that night, as they needed 17 hrs sleep. Don't ask what they had been up to the night before to need that much sleep.
Am staying at a modern plush hotel style hostel called the global palace. My two new room mates are ok. Charlie (22 girl) from reading takes me out for beers, and we meet a group that she has been travelling with a bit. I never thought I would meet the typical english girls abroad, the ones paul (assuie friend at home) say's about english girls being the first to drop their nickers, but low and behold I meet them that night.
Remeber the comic/cartoon Viz. Well they are the fat slags, and the word fat isn't the important bit. I don't even want to go into detail, but one of them got bared from PJ's Irish pub. This is impossible to do. All you can do when your around them is drink beer very quickly by the jug, and hope the time then goes quickly "ahh the english abroad".
Luckily Charlie rescues me and takes me to the woolshed. This is cairns famous tourist attraction. When we get there we meet a pub crall, an official pub crawl, as they have t-shirts and the lot. Plus they are all legless. Europeans abroad.... Oh my god. This place was a cattle market... people snogging everywhere, and at least 3 different couples having sex on the dance floor. I know the music was bad (YMCA played at least twice), but they didn't have to do that. There was also Mr Back-packer competition, where the guys removed their tops and danced sexy. Then they elimanated 2 out of the six in each round, and the final guy won a flight to sydney. Miss backpacker which started at 3am was worse. By round one, one of the girls had taken her t-shirt off. By round 4 they were in their underwear bra less holding their boobs, while all the guys crowded round with their digital camaras. Well I was gob smacked folks... I will never go there again. If you go there and can't pull, then you won't pull anywhere, you'll be a cliff richard!
I had to be rescued at least 2 by charlie... yuck seedy place!
