Hello again. Alot has happen since my last journal update. Its all too easy to fall into the relaxed lifestyle here- sorry if thats a bit boring! I have completed not only my open water diving course now, but have also finished my advanced qualification. That takes me down to 30 metres ( where you can pick up Nitrogen narcosis- a drug effect from the Nitrogen, lots of fun). I enjoyed it all so much and stayed on doing lots of dives. I can't wait to get some dives in on the great barrier reef. Now that should be an experience. Its a good job that I had to leave Thailand or else I think I could have stayed there for ever. Became part of the diving crowd and had many wild night out which was great. I met soo many lovely people there and was very sad to leave. I also went to the famous full moon party which was an amazing experience. most people are off their heads on drugs but the mood was great and we partied for till 10 in the morning. I've now just arrived in Brisbane after a 30 hour bus journey from Thailand to Singapore and then 9 hours sitting around and a 7 hour flight. As you can imagine I was a bit knackered! my friend Nabs flys in tomorrow and we're going to head up the East coast towards Cairns. will fill you all in later. Bye for now. Mand x
