What a week in Cairns! The last week has been amazing in this sun drenched town. I consider it a mix between the Florida Keys and Hawaii. Very relaxed and touristy. Our hostel is more like a college party resort that never stops for even a second. Pretty nice accommodations though. I'll just briefly run through some of the stories so that I don't forget to elaborate on them when i'm back in the States and reflecting on this experience:
Double decker party bus, friends winning free sky diving, snorkleing on the great barrier reef, scuba diving on the great barrier reef, three humpback whales coming right up to our boat and playing in the water, jumping out of an airplane at 9,000 feet, the beaches around Cairns, Cairns Lagoon, wiggly bus rides, koalas and crocs, sunny cafes, late nights dancing on tables, saying goodbye to many new friends, making even more british-irish-scottish and aussie friends, and much much more to come!
Tomorrow i board a bus for Arlie beach (10 hours away yikes!) then sail for the next 2 days through the Whitsunday Islands! Whithaven beach is our first stop and i've been told it's the best. I'll be sharing quarters with 35 other eager tourists who have some amazing stories of their own about traveling the world on a break from Uni. I've already finished and restarted my favorite book, The Old Man and the Sea, as it just seems to fit the experience so well. Going out farther than ever before in search of the Big Fish. G'day everyone and i'll see you all soon when i'm in HOME!
