Bye Bye Sydney (for now, anyways)

My flight to Cairns was leaving at 10:30AM, so I reserved a spot on the airport shuttle bus at 8:30AM. It was 20 minutes late and the traffic was a nightmare. I think everyone was leaving now that the games were over. There was a huge queue at the airport to check-in, but the Qantas staff were very good at getting everyone where they needed to be. I made it with 15 minutes to spare.

The approach into Cairns was bumpy because there were a lot of clouds. A driver and car were waiting there for me, so I had a pleasant ride to the Shangri-La (no crammed airport shuttle). The hotel looks right over the ocean and marina. Internet access and breakfast are included - ah the luxurious life!
