Trip of a Lifetime

Cairns

G'day mate! ... Shameless use of Aussie rhetoric, but it had to be done. So, I flew to Cairns yesterday, settled in here at my hostel, and we've planned out the next few days. I must say, Australia is bloody expensive... I would put it on the same page as England... Which is unbelievably expensive. If you've been there, or here, I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm definitely gonna have to do some work over here, that much has become very clear in the few days I've been here. In the next few days, I've planned a trip out to the great barrier reef, which happens to be the only biomass on the earth visible from space, and I've got a trip up to Cape Tribulation, which is where the Australian rainforest meets the Ocean. I didn't even know Australia had a freaking rainforest! Apparently, they do. And I'm going there, tomorrow. I don't have any interesting pictures to show you people, since I've just been arranging busses and crap all day, and I'm about to do some laundry and go swimming in my hostel's gorgeous pool. While, as I said, this country is very expensive, but I'm having a lot of fun so far. Australia is awesome, and I haven't even explored the most interesting places yet! I'll have tons of pictures for you guys when I come back from the reef, and hopefully I can find a computer that will let me upload them - this may be a problem in Australia, as many of their computer cafes don't allow this. Meh, I'm enterprising, I'll figure it out :) Look for a post sometime near... My birthday! I turn 23 on April 9th, and I think I'm having a pre-mid-life-crisis-crisis. 23 feels old. Don't start Omi, I know you're way older than me - I just feel old :) Until then, good on ya, mates! Spiker
