I am finally Stateside! Getting here was absolutely ridiculous: my flight got delayed for nearly four hours, I barely made my connecting flight, the lavatories were terrible¹, and my luggage got delayed. I finally got my suitcases delivered around 1am last night. Now that I’m (somewhat) settled in my dorm, I’m going to post the rest of the Australia photos.

DAY V (12/29): After snorkeling, I hung out on the beach. Later, we took a ferry back to the Cairns marina, where I strolled around and ate an awesome dinner at the Night Market. Click the thumbnails for a larger size!

DAY VI (12/30): Cairns (CNS) to Brisbane (BNE)
The last full day of the trip was spent in Brisbane, where there were some nice beaches and parks! Pity I didn’t get to spend more time there. I had to wake up at an ungodly hour the next day to leave for Sydney and fly back to Shanghai. All in all, a great trip.

Now I have to post my Shanghai photos! Goodness, I’m so behind on these things. Not to mention, I have a bad case of jetlag. Anybody have tips to overcome a 13-hour jetlag?

¹: Half of them didn’t work at all. The other half? Didn’t have water. Therefore, the sinks didn’t work and the toilets didn’t flush properly. They even gave us water bottles so we could pour water in the toilet to make it flush.
