Hey everyone!
As you can see i am now in Brisbane after driving our hired 'Wicked' camper van down the coast from Cairns. The weather has been pretty shocking to be honest the whole way down to Brizzy- sure ill look back and laugh about that!! But i wanted a sun tan to come home with!
Ok so left Cairns on um i think it was the 14th june! The camper van took a bit of getting used to- it was like a tank to drive~! all good experience i guess!
First of all headed to Townsville - then the next day (still raining!) got a ferry over to Magnetic island. this place is beautiful but unfortunatley only had one really good day of weather- went on a long walk around most of the island saw a snake hundreds of lizards.. but no koalas. man! had vouchers to go sea kayaking but was too rough so couldnt go..
next we got to airlie beach to go on our 3 day 2 night whitsunday trip.. our boat was called Habibi and completely different to Anaconda the boat i went on with the guys before xmas last year (that sounds wierd!). Despite the weather over the trip we still had a fab time- visited whitehaven beach, this was beautiful even in the pouring rain, it was low tide and the sand looked even whiter and the colours were amazing. It was pretty damn cold and the sea felt like bath water when we got in to go snorkelling!!! On the way back to dry land the wind was pretty keen (!) so we put all the sails up and turned the engine off.. i was having a snooze at this point and well nearly fell of the bed!! it was so cool sailing back, quite rough seas and the boat was constantly tipped- very exciting and wet!!!!
We then made our way in 'Nice legs' (our camper van!!!!!) down to Rainbow beach where we went dolphin sea kayaking!!!! We got about half an hour into the kayaking and both thinking this is going to be one of those days where you dont get to see any dolphins at all- then all of a sudden we were surrounded by about 40 or 50! They were absolutely beautiful and we managed to get pretty close- quite surreal actually. it was so cool- really made me want to swim with them one day, they are so peaceful. The it started to absolutely hack it down, this is no exaggeration we could hardly see more than 5 yards in front of us- we found it funny and i just couldnt keep my eyes open from from rain! it was hysterical! Probably had to be there! eventually got back to the beach after trying (and mainly failing!) to catch a few of the waves in! We came out of the kayak a few times, water is so warm!!!
Then we got to Noosa after this, with the plan to go on a 3 day canoe safari but the weather was just constant rain so thuoght better of it and came staright to Brizzy and now its sunny!~YEY!~!!
Dropped back the van this morning so we're cmaping it up again in our little tent til Tues when we have a little hire car to drive down to Sydney! Back home!!!!
Im home in two weeks today guys!!!! Get your party shoes on people!!!
Love ya all lots
Bry xxxx
