CAIRNS - Australia -

After all, I changed the plan and I decided to do white water rafting the next day. Of course, it was with the Japanese boys. To tell the truth, rafting tour was pretty expensive. However, the experience was so exciting and it was nice to meet good friends. Although I fallen into the water fall once, that was also interesting for me. Because I had exactly hoped to fall into the fresh water!

Along the Tully river, there was great rain forest and a blue butterflies really flied above our heads. They said, the person a blue butterfly touches can get some luck. Actually, we saw a blue butterfly was on an old man's cheek like a kiss! All of us thought the man must be lucky forever.

The next morning, I departed for Green Island near Cairns by ship. The sea around the small island was really beautiful like emerald.

On the sea, I enjoyed snorkeling with a Japanese girl I had gotten along with at the ship. After lunch, we tried taking a canoe. But it was difficult for me. When we went back to the beach, I had a sore muscle. So, although she went snorkeling again, I relaxed on the beach. Blue sky, white sand and emerald sea. Really happy.... Next time, I'd like to go to Outer Barrier Reef.

Actually I wanted to go casino after I got back to the center. But my sundle was wetly and my clothes were too casual. Although I was afraid if that was OK, I could enter the casino at the hotel not any check. I don't know why. Anyway, I decided to bet just $1 for slot. So guess what? I won $12 for only 5 minutes! As I was satisfied a little, I finished the slot and had dinner with this money. And the next day, I was surprised again. My seat was Business Class for over booking! I thought it was right not to continue the slot. Because I didn't spent fortune too much. Maybe a blue butterfly touched me while I didn't notice that....
