Kept going as the cable itself takes forty five minutes before arriving to kuranda. Had a stop for brekie( Australia phrase for breakfast) and I had a look at the shops up there. Purchased a digeriedoo (aboriginal musical instrument) and had a look through the other shops. Ate my chai and omelette and we looked for the butterfly gardens. 20$ to go into the sanctuary and decided it was too much to have butterflies fly around you. And it was nearing 11 and I had to get down to make my flight. I said my goodbyes and went down the cable car where they called me a taxi and I was on my way.
Arrives to the airport way too early. Checked my bag and tried to find things to pass the time. Had a California and salmon avocado sushi roll and a berry smoothie. Plane was delayed by twenty minutes. Finally boarded. And I got another emergency exit row window! Score! Sat next to a nice bloke mark. We talked about travels. He's from cairns coming to Gold Coast for the horse races. I was exhausted so after small talk I passed out. Woke up just before touchdown and mark grabbed me my bags. Was asking how I was going to get around etc. Said he had a friend picking him up and I may be able to get a ride. He waited for me to get my bags and sure enough his friend said he's give me a ride. Wasn't supposed to meet my host until 7 or 8 so we stopped for a couple beers at a craft beer place. Then they dropped me off at main beach at the restaurant where tiago was working. I had a maracuja margarita and the stuffed chicken. It was quite tasty. Then tiago was done working. He brought me back to his house where I dropped my bags and we went upstairs to his mates flat overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful even at night.
It was about 10 and I needed to pass out. He went down the beach a ways to meet up with some friends. I ended up sleeping on a chair and texted the blokes from the plane to see if they would come pick me up at 2 am.
