Lousy Cairns

In a little cafe for lunch. Really should get last night down on paper, but I’m just not in the mood. This place is a downer. Only three hours till my flight, though.
As soon as the bus rolled in, I dropped my bag & went about my errands. First I had to email Marc about my dinero & other details. Then I made my way back to Dreamtime to get my deodorant & such. Thank goodness, for tonight I take out my contacts! Then I wandered through the mall looking for a towel. Not one souvenir towel in the whole place. Back into the CBD I went. Oh, wait. I did stop into a book store. Oz does have proper field guides, but they kinda suck. And Bryson’s book is called Bill Bryson Down Under here. Almost bought it.
So back to my towel search. I found my way back to the Aboriginal store & finished my gift buying. Couldn’t pass up on a cool Cassowary painting for myself. I guess I should get Marjorie’s parents something, eh? Lousy money. So then I finally found an Aussie flag beach towel at one of those stupid tourist shops. Oh, well. And here I sit.
Where’s my food?!
