Gooday guys, my first message from down under!
The flights all in all were ok, really long and boring on your own but had 3 seats to myself on the last leg so could catch up on a few zzzs before landing. Had to rescue Callum bear from the stewardesses as hes just such a stud and they wanted to keep him! Was met by Kirst and Lee and it felt like id only seen them the day before! Random! Then it rained!!! Yep, rained! still very hot tho!
We then got a free transfer courtesy of the hostel and then got settled in, we had a private room but one that u had to walk thru a 5 bed dorm to get into, again very random! Ud be proud tho as i did not leave and book into the nearest hilton! Looking at the lack of security measures first stop was to buy a money belt to store the necessities!
After a wander about we went to the lagoon for a swim which was really lovely and relaxing! Ever the worrier me tho was just concerned about the onward trip on the oz bus so to shut me up we all went and arranged the entire itinerary for the next few weeks! And here it is!
Tomorrow we are getting the bus early in the morning to Magnetic Island where we have got 3 days dorm hostel accom to chill out. In the package also included a days snorkel hire to explore the reef and an hours kayak hire which should prove to be interesting! Magnetic island also has wild koalas to spot (but not hug)!!!
After magnetic we head to Airlie beach for 2 nights dorm acc before getting on the Hammer cruiser boat to explore 2 days and overnight on the boat the Witsunday Islands! Fantastic!! then back on solid ground for one night. After the Witsundays we go to Kroombit which is a cattle station with bucking bronkos and all sorts to play with, overnight there and then onto Rainbow beach.
We have 2 nights dorm accom at frasers on Rainbow beach then we pick up our own 4 wheel drive and head onto Frasers island for 3 days and 2 nights camping with a small group! should be an experience I suppose!
After that we head to Brisbane where we have 4 nights before my flight leaves so mum, dont worry will be in Brisbane in plenty of time!
Because we have got such a massive itinerary for the next 2 weeks we are just gonna chill today at the beach and lagoon, play a bit of frisbee, read a book and cook a barbee in the park! My kind of day! Oh and mum, im gonna buy and eat so many of those cracker things u love! Nuh nuh! Oh and the weather is really hot! A bit stormy and muggy at times but generally sunny! And when I do put photos on here please remember that Im trying to get into the whole backpacker lifestyle so u know that Hespras place? Im afraid Ive overtaken Amy as the ambassador, no actually, I founded it!!!
Missin u all already but gonna chill out, relax and enjoy these fab experiences! hope u are all looking after each other!
Lots of love and hugs to u all mwah xxxxx
