Ok sorry this is so behind just a quick one to sum up the rest of our time in Australia....

So after Magnetic Island where we had a nice relaxing time with friends we headed up to mission beach. We stayed in a place calle dAbsolute backpackers which seemed lovely at first and it was .. badminton net and swimming pool etcc but over the 3 days we stayed there(it was run by a foreign couple quite old) we got told off a bit.. we were in the pool one day and the woman came up to me and liz and started telling us to tidy are room and one night we were talking at about 12 am in our room and Henk the amn cam and bashed on our door in his boxxers(he was about 60 witha beer belly) telling us to shut up or we would be out on the street!! Oh and it also had a night manager.... Lisa who was hilarious .. her job was to tell us to shhhhhh after 11pm she was huge about 6 foot and extremely well built we made friends with her though and she even gave me and liz a self defence lesson one night.. thanks Lis'!! So Mission beach theres not really much else to saty as we didnt really eave our hostel...apart from .... de de deeehhh... Liz did her SKYDIVE :) and absolutely loved it and she jumped in her own shorts and top and l;anded on the beach so the photos are really cool... and on facebook! We all were able to watch her video when she got back to the hostle which was nice and its a really good vid.. i think she had a bit of a crazy cameraman.

Newxt stop Cains via a croc farm.... we saw a few more crocs and kangaroos here and i (lauren) held a couple of snakes one which wrapped itself so tightly round my neck, slighhtly worrying and also a iguana thing which felt like a prickly leather hamster, liz stayed away from the reptiles though!

So Cairns was our last destination in Oz cant beleive how quickly its all gone!! The hostel we stayed at didnt even have bunkbeds which was SO GOOD not to have the creaky ladders. Didnt do an awful lot here ony had a couple of days before we flew out but it was really nice beacause everyone we had met up the coast all seemed to bump into eachother here! So everyone went out and danced on a few more tables in the evenings and during the day we went souvernier shopping really. Oh and i bought a pair off uggs)which arnt cheap!) but i had to really being in Australia:)

We were sad to leave Oz and had a fantastic time, but were really eager to experience Thailand!!!
