We have finally arrived in Australia. We are in Cairns and ready to start vacation living...but only after a good nights sleep. 33 hours of traveling has left us a bit tired. We arrived this afternoon to great weather, 80 degrees and sunny with a nice sea breeze. The most challenging thing so far has been learning to drive on the wrong side of the road....while trying to use a manual transmission. James has done a great job. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to try it and hopefully I won't wreck. It's weird to be driving on the wrong side of the car, wrong side of the road and then trying to shift with the opposite hand. I've gotta wait for more sleep before trying it. Pics are James in the car (it's nice and roomy huh!) one of me at the beach where they post big signs about the "stingers"...they even provide vinegar just in case (YIKES!!!) and one of us in Cairns after eating dinner.
Watch out for crocodiles and sharks, too! PLEASE be careful with your driving!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got there safely. It looks beautiful there! I would completely freak out driving a stick on the wrong side. My left hand can't control itself. I would crash. Good luck and swim safely!:)
