Oct 23 - Footy Players and Movie

Slept until noon (yes, again..but we have to be up early from now on in Cairns, so give us a break) and chilled on the patio for a while. Today is very bright, but overcast, however there isn't any rain presently (knock on wood) so that's a bonus. After a tasty lunch of eggs and roast beef sandwiches, B went for a nap (what else is there to do here!?) and I wandered around town and the mall. After a short while I was thirsty, which tends to happen often in high heat and humidity and SUN (yes, I said sun, as in there is sun in the sky today. Mind boggling!). So I had a Boost Juice. That wasn't a typo, just boost, not booster. Almost like a booster juice in flavor/texture but tastes more home-made. Decent way to supress the thirst and get some fruit intake anyways. When I got back we went down to reception and extended our stay til Wednesday (originally only booked 4 nights because we weren't sure if we would be staying over in Port Douglas or Cape Tribulation) but the catch is we have to check out tomorrow (before we leave to rafting at 6:40 AM and check back into a new room when we get back from rafting. We then attempted to watch some TV shows on the laptop via the internet, but all the places where the internet was strong enough were filled with ridiculously loud and obnoxious rugby players. I think there's 3 teams staying here at the moment and every last one of them are out of control all hours of the day and night. Hopefully they'll check out tomorrow (Monday) so we can get some peace and quiet around here.

To pass some time, we hit up the movie theatre for a cinematic adventure. $16 dollar admission later, we watched The Town with Ben Affleck, etc. He is starting to sound more and more like Adam Sandler as Billy Madison or the Waterboy, especially when Ben turns on his Boston (baahstan) accent. However, it was a pretty good flick, but the ending was a bit cheese. Slice of 'za back at the hostel, some TV and early to bed because we have to catch a 6:40 AM bus to go rafting at the Tully River, which is a couple hours away. Finally a good reason to get up before noon!
