Did I mention I like to travel?

Walking along Lake Street I thought to myself "I should have worn shoes", then quickly dismissed the thought as frivilous. Thongs (or flip flops) were perfectly acceptable attire, despite it being the middle of winter.

One more thing that I like starting with C; Cairns.

I had my first corndog (and most likely my last) in San Francisco. It was a very perplexing experience, my mouth didn't quite know whether it was supposed to be sweet or savoury. It left me feeling, well, confused.

I find Queensland much the same. The weather is amazing, the environment is stunning, but the people, oh the people. It always feels like I'm stepping into a giant theme park when I go there. Everything man made seems to be tackily oversized, over coloured and generally a bit off.

I think in the end, the weather in Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef on the doorstep won out over the people and it ended up on the positive side of the scale. After all there aren't really that many people living there.
