It rained a lot in the night, so I didn’t get my beautiful sunrise (although I did wake up in time for it). Since there was no point getting up, I laid in bed until about 7.30, and managed to get a photo from inside the swag:

Nick’s swag didn’t survive the night. He had water coming in, so was understandably annoyed.

After breakfast I decided that I needed to go home. I was tossing up between today and tomorrow, but I really needed to get back and start preparing for my next trip. So I booked a seat on the 3.20 flight, and crammed everything in my bag, except for my swag. I was already planning on leaving that for Pete to bring back, but now it made even more sense as Nick could use it tonight (his flight was already booked for tomorrow). So I got some last photos, and after some lunch at the pub across the road, we went to the airport. Still heaps of rain coming…

We had a look at Palm Cove. The weather had cleared up by then. It was a beautiful area.

But then it was time to say goodbye at Cairns airport, after an awesome couple of weeks adventure!

The flight home was uneventful – I went through all of the photos I had taken (deleting the duplicates) to pass the time. There was a big crash on the Tullamarine Freeway, so it took over an hour to get home in the Uber, which was really annoying.
