Sarah's Travels
Hey all!
I would have said G'day but thats kind of cheesy!!! So here I am in sunny Oz, the weather is gorgeous, the sea is blue, what more could I ask for.
I liked this place before I had even landed, the views over Brisbane, and then Cairns were awesome!
Cairns was great, all the backpackers were out in force when I arrived-hundreds of people sat in the park next to the lagoon, having BBQs and doing general backpackerish things! I also went diving and snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, what a great experience. We went out on this luxurious boat, dived, sat on a sand island in the middle of nowhere, then sunbathed in the nets on the front of the boat. I was hungover, and the sea was rough, but for once I was organised and took sea sickness pills, so no disaster there!
Im now in mission beach, had a pretty cool night last night, spent it hearing stories from the locals about the level 5 cyclone that hit here 4 months ago! Sounded like an experience- they all started drinking on the night they heard it was headed straight for Mission beach, then carried on for 4 days after as there was no electricity or anyway of cooking! Anyway, i'm off to catch the last of the afternoon sun.....................xXx
P.s I cant believe the UK has set a new high temperature record!!-Its warmer than here!
