The food and beverages served are all bottled, kudos. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info another one, a kind of small particles made of noodles, a bit special. The plane landed at Cairns Airport on time, it had just rained, but it was still a little stuffy, and a taxi - Toyota Prius was hailed at the airport.

Yunluo still has a good impression of this car, petrol-electric hybrid, fuel-saving and environmentally friendly, that is, the price of Huaguo is almost meaningful. The car trotted all the way to the hotel in more than 10 minutes, a total of 20 dollars. The rooms in this hotel today are in slightly worse condition than they were yesterday in Launceston: the rooms are smaller, the air conditioning is slower, and the windows are old-fashioned.

Noisy, but better than cost-effective, breakfast every day (bread tube enough, but no meat and no eggs), as long as 73 dollars.

Here is a brief introduction to Cairns: Cairns is located 1,700 kilometers north of Brisbane, is the center of tropical North Queensland, and is an important gateway to the Great Barrier Reef in the east and the vast wilderness of the Cape York Peninsula in the north, with a population of about 120,000. Its geographical location is strategic, with well-developed agricultural, industrial and international tourism, and a well-developed infrastructure.

It is a famous tourist destination in Australia. The average temperature in the city is about 24-34 degrees Celsius all year round, and the climate is very comfortable and pleasant. Beautiful Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Set against the backdrop of majestic mountains, the Vines are surrounded by lush rainforests.

The humid tropical rainforest, which surrounds the equator, is called the "lungs of the earth" and is the life zone that regulates the global climate.

An Qingju and Yunluo can't stay at the hotel too much today, because there is still a very important task to be solved, which is to book the trip in the next two days. The main reason why Cairns' itinerary was not finalized before this departure was that Yunluo was looking for a local travel agent online before departure.

Finally, a well-known agent was selected: drtours. In addition to English services, this agency can also provide Chinese services. In the process of communication, the staff told Yunluo that the weather in Cairns was changeable. The weather forecast can only provide the weather conditions for the previous 7 days, so it is recommended that An Qingju and the clouds fall to Cairns.

Moreover, it was the off-season for tourism in Cairns, and An Qingju and Yunluo's itinerary would also avoid the Spring Festival, so An Qingju and Yunluo finally decided to talk about it after arriving in Cairns.

That said, Anqingju and Yunluo have done their research on the attractions they are going to visit before the trip, and Anqingju and Yunluo's two-day trip will be reserved for the Kuranda Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The only variable is the weather and which shipping company to choose.

After coming to Australia for so many days, I can finally change into snow-hidden shorts and sandals, and you must know that the average maximum temperature in the previous days was more than 20 degrees. It's about 4:30 a.m. after leaving the hotel, and Drtours will close at 7 o'clock, but Cairns is not big, and An Qingju and Yunluo are about 20 minutes walk there.

Not far from the hotel, there was a violent shower. An Qingju and Yunluo couldn't resist it, and hurriedly ran into a nearby gas station to take shelter from the rain, Yunluo was thinking about what the weather would be in the next two days.

Walk all the way. When I came to Drtours in the center of the city to explain the intention, the staff took out a bunch of information and enthusiastically introduced An Qingju and Yunluo. This guy is proficient in Chinese, English, and Korean, and he is meticulous and patient in his work, and he praises him. Although he recommended several rainforest travel destinations to An Qingju and Yunluo.

But An Qingju and Yunluo did enough homework, and finally settled on Kuranda Kuranda Rainforest, the price is 90 dollars per person, responsible for hotel pick-up, and take the train to go. The return trip took the cable car, which was about 10% cheaper than the official price.

But the rest of the Great Barrier Reef trip was a bit more tangled. Before I came, I focused on sunlovercruises. The shipping company's customers are predominantly Asian.

It is also a boat that our people choose more. The advantage of this company is that the ship is large, and it is said that it can seat 400 people when it is full, so it is relatively easy to get seasick; Chinese service is also available on board. The disadvantage is that there are many people, and it is likely to grab resources after arriving at the ground. Also, the view there is said to be a little worse.

Somewhat overdeveloped. The final price quoted by the agent is $125 per person, including food, equipment, etc., but excluding deep diving. It should be said that this price is still very tempting, and it is much cheaper than the $180 on the official website. Because An Qingju and Yunluo still want to dive deeply, if they choose Sunlover, they will add about 100 dollars, and the total price is 225 dollars per person.

The guy recommended two other shipping companies to An Qingju and Yunluo. One is Seastar, listen to the name. Yunluo's mind reflects the "Star of the Sea", how romantic! But don't look it up in the dictionary, the romantic feeling should disappear without a trace. Seastar's ship is not big.

When it is full, it can carry 35 people, and the price is 165 dollars per person, which is much cheaper than the official price of 240. Departing from Cairns Harbour and heading to Michael Mascay and Hastingsreef, you will have to dive, snorkel, stab-proof swimsuits, meals and more, so you don't have to pay for it. The guy strongly recommended this ship to An Qingju and Yunluo.

Said the view was much better than sunlover. An Qingju and Yunluo's only concern about this ship is seasickness, because Yunluo has not only seen descriptions of seasickness in a travelogue, but he really doesn't want to experience it.

Another recommended shipping company is located in Port Douglas, 1 hour drive from Cairns, Port Douglas is recommended by many netizens as an alternative to Cairns because of its outstanding scenery. Yunluo remembers the name of the ship company very clearly, and the ship's destination was the edge of the Outer Barrier Reef.

It should be the best place with the best scenery, including a dive for about $190, and the boat can seat more than 100 people. By the way, I inquired about the Quicksilver (Quicksilver), which is also in Port Douglas, and the price of one dive is also about 200 dollars. Although the price is a little more expensive, the combination of Outer Barrier Reef + Port Douglas is still irresistible.

How to choose? An Qingju and Yunluo immediately held the first enlarged plenary meeting of the first session of the trip in front of the half-hidden roller shutter door of the third store on the left of the entrance of Drtours, and launched a "united, tense, serious and lively" discussion on the trip to the Great Barrier Reef.

In the end, after the guy showed An Qingju and Yunluo the photos he took in the two places, An Qingju and Yunluo quickly made a decision: choose Seastar.

It's not that the photos of the two places made An Qingju and Yunluo find the difference, but that the photos of the guy's computer are really not good, and he can't see the beauty at all.

Of course, the deep-seated reason is that An Qingju and Yunluo have a limited schedule here, and if they choose Port Douglas, An Qingju and Yunluo will spend a lot of physical strength and time on the road, so Seastar is the best choice for An Qingju and Yunluo.

Okay, the big picture is decided, all that's left is to set the schedule. The guy told An Qingju and Yunluo that there will be Taiwan scenery today and tomorrow, so they can't go to sea. This is easy to do, tomorrow Kuranda, the day after tomorrow Great Barrier Reef, here to pay a 10% deposit, in fact, is their agency fee, other fees can be directly handed over to the company on the same day.

Now that I'm done, let's talk about my feelings about Keynes. When they came to this small city from the paradise of Tasmania, An Qingju and Yunluo were still a little uncomfortable. The city is not pretty, there is no beach by the sea, the extra people and cars make it feel a little cluttered and crowded, and the indigenous people on the street make people feel like they are in some Southeast Asian city.

Because it was a weekend, there were activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the square by the pool, and there were so many people that it was a bit big for the clouds to fall. But after two days, a stroll along the seaside boulevard on Monday also had a refreshing feeling. Therefore, Yunluo's feeling about Keynes is that it is ambivalent, pluralistic, and too commercial.

Tonight, I had a Chinese buffet at the hypermarket behind the seaside pool, the iconic attraction of Cairns, and first bought a plate, which varies from large to medium, about 9-13 dollars, and then chose from different dishes, which can only fill one plate. The taste is average, the portion is enough, and I walk back to the hotel to sleep after eating.

When I looked at the weather forecast yesterday, I said that the probability of precipitation today was 90%, and the precipitation was expected to be 10-20 mm. I thought to myself that this is in the tropics, and the weather must be changeable, but I hope the weather will stay like this today. After breakfast in the hotel, several people came to the hotel lobby early to wait for the car to pick up Yunluo and An Qingju.

A minibus stopped at the entrance of the hotel on time, and the sticker on it indicated that it was Yunluo and An Qingju's car. An old man got out of the car, and after saying hello, the old man asked "#$creditcard^&*", An Qingju didn't listen carefully, thinking that he was going to pay the balance before getting into the car, so he quickly took out his wallet.

The old man waved his hand again and again, "Did someone of you leave their credit card at drtours yesterday?" "Is there such a thing? An Qingju hurriedly opened his wallet and looked, hey, An Qingju's credit card was gone!

Only then did I realize that I might have forgotten it there when I paid yesterday, and I didn't even notice it. The old man told Yunluo and An Qingju that DR's staff called them to tell them about it, and they just had to go to DRTours to retrieve it after returning from today's tour. I thanked the old man, and I also sighed at the seriousness and responsibility of the DR staff.

After picking up Yunluo and An Qingju, the old man picked up other tourists at several hotels in the city, and then went straight to Cairns Railway Station. (To be continued.) )
