Ninety-eighth fifth leaf withered
The catering and beverages served are all bottled, so let's like it. Another one is a small particle made of noodles, which is a bit special. The plane landed at Cairns Airport on time. It had just rained but it was still a bit stuffy. I took a taxi-Toyota Prius at the airport.
Yunluo still has a good impression of this car, such as oil-electric hybrid, fuel-saving and environmentally friendly, which is the price difference in China. The car trotted all the way and arrived at the hotel in more than 10 minutes, totaling $20. Today, the room in this hotel is slightly worse than yesterday when he was in Launceston: the room is smaller, the air conditioner is slower to cool, and it is still an old-fashioned window machine.
It's very noisy, but the price is high. I can buy breakfast every day (bread is enough, but there is no meat or eggs), which is only 73 yuan.
Here is a brief introduction to Cairns: Cairns is located 1,700 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is a central town in the tropical North Queensland. It is an important gateway to the Great Barrier Reef eastward and the vast wasteland northward. It has a population of about 120,000. It has a superior geographical location, developed agriculture, industry and international tourism industries, and complete infrastructure.
It is a famous tourist destination in Australia. The city's annual temperature is around 24-34 degrees Celsius, and the climate is very comfortable and pleasant. The beautiful Cairns is the only gate to the Great Barreef. Cyrns is backed by magnificent mountains and dense rainforests are all around.
To this day, there are still large areas of humid tropical rainforests that remain in their original state. The humid tropical rainforest surrounding the equator is called the "lungs of the earth" and is a life belt that regulates the global climate.
An Qingju and Yunluo cannot stay in the hotel too much today because there is another very important task that is pending, namely, booking a trip for the next two days. The main reason why Cairns' itinerary was not finalized before departure is that Yunluo was looking for a local tourism agent online before departure.
Finally, we selected an agent with a good reputation: drtours. In addition to English services, this agent can also provide Chinese services. During the communication process, the staff told Yunluo that due to the changing weather in Cairns, the weather forecast can only provide the weather conditions for the first 7 days, so it is recommended that An Qingju and Yunluo come to Cairns before talking.
Moreover, it is the off-season for Cairns, and An Qingju and Yunluo's itinerary will avoid the Spring Festival. Therefore, An Qingju and Yunluo finally decided to come to Cairns before talking.
Despite this, An Qingju and Yunluo had already conducted a thorough study of the attractions to visit before the trip. An Qingju and Yunluo's two-day itinerary will be left for the Kuranda Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The only variable is the weather and which shipping company to choose.
After so many days in Australia, I can finally change into my hidden shorts and sandals. You should know that the average maximum temperature in the previous days was only about 20 degrees. After leaving the hotel, it was about 4:30, and drtours will close at 7:00. Fortunately, Cairns is not big, so An Qingju and Yunluo will walk there for about 20 minutes.
Not far from the hotel, there was a violent shower. An Qingju and Yunluo could not resist it, so they quickly ran into a nearby gas station to shelter from the rain. Yunluo was thinking about what the weather would be like in the next two days.
Walking all the way, I came to the drtours located in the city center to explain my purpose. The staff took out a bunch of information and enthusiastically introduced it to An Qingju and Yunluo. This guy is proficient in Chinese, English, and Korean. He is meticulous and patient in doing things and praises him. Although he recommended several travel destinations for the rainforest to An Qingju and Yunluo.
But An Qingju and Yunluo did their homework well, and in the end they were in the Rainforest of Randa, which was priced at $90 per person, responsible for hotel pick-up and drop-off, and took the train to the trip. The return trip was about 10% cheaper than the official price.
But the next trip to the Great Barrier Reef was a bit more complicated. I focused on studying the Sunlover Crème. The customers of this shipping company are mainly Asians.
It is also a boat that our Chinese people choose more. The advantage of this company is that it is large ships. It is said that they can sit 400 people when they are full, so it is relatively not easy to get seasick. At the same time, Chinese services are also provided on the ship. The disadvantage is that there are many people, and you may have to grab resources after you arrive. In addition, the scenery there is said to be a little worse.
The development was a bit overdeveloped. The final price quoted by the agent was $125 per person, including catering, equipment, etc. but not deep diving. It should be said that this price is still very attractive, which is much cheaper than the official website's $180. Because An Qingju and Yunluo still want to dive deep diving, if you choose sunlover, you will have to add about $100, and the total price is $225 per person.
The guy recommended two other shipping companies to An Qingju and Yunluo. One is Se Star, listen to the name. Yunluo's mind reflects "Ocean Star", which is so romantic! But don't check the dictionary. After checking, the romantic feeling should disappear without a trace. Se Astar's ship is not big.
When the crew is full, you can carry 35 people, the price is 165 yuan per person, which is much cheaper than the official price of 240. Departure in Cairns Port, heading to the fans of Chaelmascay and Has Sreef, including a diving, snorkeling, anti-sting swimsuits, catering, etc. In short, you don’t have to bring money after getting on the boat. The young man strongly recommends this boat to An Qingju and Yunluo.
It is said that the scenery is much better than sunlover. An Qingju and Yunluo's only concern about this ship is seasickness, because Yunluo not only saw the description of seasickness in a travel note, but he really didn't want to experience it.
Another recommended shipping company is located in Portdouglas Port, one hour's drive from Cairns. Port Douglas Port Douglas is recommended by many netizens as a resort location to replace Cairns because of its outstanding scenery. The name of this shipping company Yunluo is not very clear. The destination of the ship is on the edge of the outer barrier reef.
It should be the best place to have a scenic spot. The price of one diving is about $190, and the boat can take more than 100 people. By the way, I asked about the Silver Shuttle (quick private lver) in Port Douglas, and the price of one diving is about $200. Although the price is a bit expensive, the combination of Outer Barrier Reef + Port Douglas is still irresistible.
How to choose? An Qingju and Yunluo immediately held the first full enlarged meeting of this trip in front of the half-closed roller shutter door of the third shop on the left side of the door of the door of the drtours, and held a discussion of "unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness" on the journey to the Great Barrier Reef. The result of the meeting was to go back to drtours and take a look, which showed An Qingju and Yunluo's serious and responsible attitude.
Finally, after the young man showed An Qingju and Yunluo the photos he took in the two places, An Qingju and Yunluo quickly made a decision: choose color astar.
It’s not that the photos of the two places allowed An Qingju and Yunluo to find the difference, but that the photos of the young man’s computer are really not powerful and he can’t see the beautiful scenery at all.
Of course, the deeper reason is that An Qingju and Yunluo’s schedule is really limited. If you choose Port Douglas, An Qingju and Yunluo will spend a lot of energy and time on the road, so Astar is the best choice for An Qingju and Yunluo.
Okay, the overall situation has been decided, and the rest is to determine the schedule. The young man told An Qingju and Yun Luojin that there will be a typhoon visiting tomorrow, so he cannot go out to sea. Now it is easy to deal with. Tomorrow, Kuranda and the Great Barrier Reef the day after tomorrow, they will pay a 10% deposit here, which is actually their agency fee, and other fees can be paid directly to the company on the same day.
After everything is done, let’s talk about how I feel about Cairns. When I came to this small city from Tasmania from the paradise, An Qingju and Yunluo were somewhat uncomfortable. This city is not beautiful, but it is leaning against the sea but has no beaches. The more people and cars make people feel a little messy and crowded, and the indigenous people on the street make people feel like they have arrived in a Southeast Asian city.
Because it was a weekend, there were activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the square by the swimming pool, and there were so many people that the clouds were a bit overwhelming. But two days later, walking on the beach avenue on Monday also had a fresh feeling. Therefore, Yunluo’s feeling about Keynes was contradictory, diverse, and overly commercial.
Tonight, I had a buffet with Chinese buffet in the hypermarket behind the seaside swimming pool, the sign of Cairns, and bought a plate first, which is different in size, about 9-13 yuan. Then I chose it among different dishes and could only fill one plate. The taste was average and the portion was enough. After dinner, I walked back to the hotel to sleep.
Yesterday, when I looked at the weather forecast, I said that the probability of precipitation today is 90%, and the expected precipitation is 10-20 mm. I didn’t expect that it would be clear to wake up early in the morning. I thought it was tropical and the weather would definitely change. I hope the weather can be kept like this today. After breakfast in the hotel, several people came to the hotel front hall early to pick up Yunluo and An Qingju’s car.
A minibus was parked at the hotel door on time, and the stickers on it meant that this was Yunluo and An Qingju's car. An old man got out of the car and said hello, the old man asked "#$creditcard^&*". An Qingju didn't listen carefully, thinking that he wanted to pay the remaining money before getting on the car, so he quickly took out his wallet.
The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said again, "Did anyone throw his credit card in drtours yesterday?" There is something wrong? An Qingju quickly opened his wallet and saw that, hey, An Qingju's credit card is gone!
Then I remembered that I might have forgotten it when I paid yesterday, and I didn't notice it at all. The old man told Yun Luo and An Qingju, and the staff of Dr. called and told them about this. After returning from the tour today, I could just go to DRTours to retrieve it. I thanked the old man and lamented the seriousness and responsibility of the staff of Dr.
