  • Highlights from Cairns, Australia

    We got here around 11 pm and couldn’t find a restaurant that’s opened. It was pretty dead in the city. It made me pretty nervous. Is there a zombie apocalypse happening? We ended up running into a bar manager at an Irish pub nearby with a real fresh huge shiner on his left eye which
