Max & Dean Year Out 05/06
Been in Cairns for a few days now. Decided that we needed some serious R&R before heading to NZ - so alas we didn't make it to Airlie Beach or the Whitsundays. We were hoping to do a spot of snorkelling on the Reef and see some gorgeous beaches here - but shock horror! the weather is pretty bad up here. Windy May by all accounts - and we were told that it's crap conditions for snorkellers - no visibility and very choppy on the water. A girl at the hostel told us that her and 3 others had to be air lifted from their boat trip by a helicopter as they were so sea sick! Cost her about 3X as much as the original tour did...So - am pretty happy that we didn't chance it.
So - tonight it's a flight to Sydney - and from there we fly to NZ on Thursday. Should pick up a camper within a couple of days and hit the open road. We're both really looking forward to having our own schedule and being able to do what we want - when we want. We've had a wicked time in Oz - and met some fabulous people - so for now... It's goodbye Australia and Hello New Zealand. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!
