Okaaaay so what have i been upto?
Well we left snorebore island called Magnetic Island to an even worse place called Mission Beach - actually the most dullest place on the planet, we were stuck there for 3 whole days, it rained and then the entire mission beach lost its power at 9pm on the 2nd night due to "hurricane type weather"...i do love wet season so i do! Only reason we were there was to do a skydive...cancelled twice much to my disappointment!!
Finally our day came to go to...CAIRNS!!! I was super excited for coming here and the place has not disappointed me! Reminds me a lot of surfers paradise - it is a bad place for my liver and bank balance!
Day 1, 2 and 3 of cairns have been spent hungover through the day and partying at night!
What have i done here? Well Day 1, we booked in for our skydive for the following day at 2pm, figured it would prob be cancelled due to the weather so we all went out and got trashed! Nightlife here is muchos fun :) See facebook pics...says it all! Some horrors of me. O and i managed to lose my phone that night also! We had a good 3 months of that phone - record breaking for me!
Day 2 was spent hungover as hell and had to go get a new phone. Rocked up to skydive center, feeling horrific, expected to reschedule and then i hear "okay how do you wish to pay" WHAAATTT!!!!!!!!!!!! Panic and fear takes ove and i feel worse. Gets our talk about what to do when falling out the plane and i get suited up :) Gets on the bus...can't quite take in what im about to do (there was me jill n gemma doing it!) Gets to the aeroplane....smallest thing i have ever seen and i imediately feel faint! it takes me 2 attempts to get n the plane until my skydive man, Ben, shoved me on it! Taking off was horrendous in a small plane, imagine the large ones - neitheis pleasant! I got on last thinking id be off the plane last - no no - not quite how it works - i was 2nd!!!! So i think were about ready i start getting my hands ready as we are quite high, i then look at Bens watch to realise we are only at 3000ft and we are skydiving from 14,000 ft, by this point im sweating and shaking everywhere all the while being filmed and trying to look so excited - i look petrfied in my dvd and pics! so i see the red light goes on which means to get ready, the first woman goes and i lose it, start screaming my head off, holding on to the plane screaming no no no no no and swearing a lot! I remember sticking my leg on to the inside of the plane so he couldnt shove me out, istead he grabbed my leg and throws it out the plane, im now on the edge of the plane, having forgot everything i was told to do, still screaming my head off, possibly even crying with fear and then i am flying in the air upside down going round and round screaming! We eventually flip up the right way still free falling for 60 seconds - longest 60 seconds of my life! it was like being on horrifically scary long never ending rollercoaster. Then he pulls the parachute and we go flying back up in the sky!! This bit was fun, stil terryfing and then i got to control the parachute :) It was amazing! I loved the entire experience, the best and most terryfing experience of my life and will definately be doing another one! I have DVD and pics of all of this which will be sent home soon !!
The skydive definately cleared my hangover and i was buzzing for the rest of the day!! Nightime came, and me and jill went off out ona pub crawl. This ended up being another messy evening with llots and lots of tequilla being invoved! bleugh!
Following day was spent in bed for the majority of it until nightime came and we went out to celebrate St Paddys day! We all dressed up in green, drank lots of goon, vodka and jagerbombs :)
Today has been a hangover day, i got in late and i got up at 2pm, got some food, and it is now 10pm and im off to bed!
Have loved cairns, although all ive done is party and skydive which was brrilliaannt!
Things that i will remember about here:
Skydiving, kate walking into the balcony doors with her cider (luckily she went knee first), nandos,noodle box, subway and sadly mcdonalds, boost juice, rhinobar, blue sky, the wooldshed and gilligans, songs such as its getting late but i dont mind & move your body & im in the house, lying on the floor having no energy to move, losing my first (and not the last) mobile phone in australia, st paddys day and to end it all the dude spewing goon over the balcony above which splatted onto the roof outside our balcony - nothing beats the smell of goon spew :)
Sat we are off to cape trib to snorkel, ride horses and i may do a bungee jump! Ive a flight booked on tuesday to fly me to brisbane to look for work, i have to have a proper look this time and not get drunk every night! Fingers crossed i get this job picking courgettes in june for 3 months as that will mean another year out here :)!! I love aussie land so i do, now i need to experience working here :)!!
Thats all, love and miss you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
