Hello everyone, sorry its been ages again, the time just seems to fly!I am now nearly half way down the East coast of Australia, not far from Brsibane-we are going there in a couple of days!Christchurch was really good, i swam with dolphins and had to sing in the water to attract them although i think this was a ploy to make me look like a fool!!We also went to Arthurs Pass National Park which was a good walk but very steep and hot!We went out on our last night but this probably wasnt a very good idea as did not feel the best for our flight to Oz the next day!!However we got through it and faced the heat as soon as we touvhed the ground in Cairns. We went snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef which was so incredible, plus we agreed to go Scuba diving for the 1st time-we went 10 metres down and it was so much fun although my ears felt like they were going to burst!We were lucky enough to see some more sharks and a Manty eel which is quite rare to see in the daytime. We also went to Cape Tribulation where we went to rainforests and saw crocs in the wild!!Have also seen wallabys hoping around and many HUGE beatles and i mean HHHUUUGGGGEEE, they look like the ones you'd see in insect museums!!We have also been lying on the beach near enough everyday-it is too hot to do many active things!!We went to Magnetic Island and a trip to the Whitsundays which were gorgeous, we did more snorkelling and i managed to see a green turtle!!!Yes i did, and it was so cute!!We had a free drinks and food on the catamaran that took us there-this included wine and cans of all the drinks u could imagine so we nicked a few as we hopped off the boat!We stayed over on Long Beach Island where we sat and had cocktails on the beach in the evening...bliss!!We are going to Fraser Island tomorrow which is meant to be nice. Its reaching past 30 degrees most days (don't get jealous!) and i have lots of horrible bites from little annoying creatures. I miss you all and am especially going to miss xmas dinner cooked by mother dearest!!Hope u are all well and looking forward to xmas, there are some decorations here that look really out of place in the sun!We went to an xmas carol concert on the beach the other night eating fish and chips!!Love you all xxx
