  2. Good luck. Enjoy Cairns. Weather there should be in the low 30s so not too hot but a bit of a change from Tokyo.

  3. Don't think I'd fancy Cairns in mid-summer. I'm sweating enough down here! Enjoy the holiday. If you go for a swim post run, watch out for Crocs.

  6. Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
    are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've
    had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
