I flew to Cairns today. When I got to the airport, I couldn't find my passport, so I was stressed out for the whole three-hour flight, and the drive to the hostel. Luckily I found it after unpacking all my stuff once I got to my room. In the future I will have to remember to sort this stuff out earlier.

This place is not only hot, it's humid too. It's humid enough to make you sweat as soon as you step outside. The upshot is that there are no more flies. I never mentioned the flies in the Outback. They would just not give up. You would swat one away, and it would just go back in your ear, or your nose, or your eye. They would just keep coming. So luckily there are no flies here. There are mosquitoes instead...
