Today we have a beach day NOT in Cairns, because THERE IS NO BEACH IN CAIRNS. We bus to Trinity Beach, which is nice enough, but after we lie down it becomes windy as hell and it's just unpleasant lying there. The wind is howling through my ears, my dress is blowing up, and the book won't stay open by itself. We are obviously not going to go in the ocean. So we walk to the end of the beach where the shore curves, and the wind is much weaker there, barely blowing at all, so we can enjoy our sunshine time for a few hours.
On the way home, the bus stops to let off a bunch of university students, and as it pulls away from the curve, we see a youngish guy running towards the bus, yelling. He was peeing on the side of the road, into the bush. The bus driver ignores him and keeps going forward. Two stops later, the guy catches up with the bus, and the driver makes him apologize to all of the people sitting here. We all laugh. The driver is PISSED, but it is really funny.
In the evening, we go to the Woolshed, where we are promised a FREE dinner by our hostel. We each get a different flavor of pasta and trade. Dinner is ok, pretty good for free. We figure that the Woolshed makes all of it's money by backpackers getting free dinner and then staying for drinks, but we jet out of there asap.
Back at Tropic Days, Master Chef is playing again, and then SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, US VERSION!!! YAY!!! I go to sleep very happy.
