Day 71-72 Airlie Beach-Whitsundays The first day was just one big bus journey to Airlie Beach. We had to get up at 5:45 for the bus and Scarlett was nakered as the Irish guy in the bed next to her brought a girl back to his single bed on the top bunk...and they were the squeekiest beds ever! She was not happy!!!! We were a bit worried as we were staying at Magnums (hostel) which is the bed bug capital of Australia, apparrently. But it was the cheapest and Scarl...

Day 66-71 Magnetic Island - Diving Course The first four days of Magnetic Island we did our dive course. It consisted of 2 pool sessions and 4 dives, we got 2 free dives when we completed the course. We were presented with a 170 page diving book and told to read it all and complete all the questions for our theory test tomorrow...which we passed . For our practical we had to learn skills like take our BC (jacket with the tank) off under water, take our regulator...

Day 61-64 For the last few days we have just been getting organised for the next few weeks of madness. We had to get our dive medical so we could do our dive course and Stu handed his notice in at work.

We had our last night out in Cairns with Sebastian (a German guy in our dorm) and Franc (a french guy in our dorm). We went to PJ O'Brian's and watched the Coy...

Day 48 - 60 The past couple of weeks have been really chilled out. Scarlett tried to get a job fruit picking but after ringing up on her 28th time, they told her there is nothing until mid May so she hasn't given up and is continueing to live like a bum whilst Stu gets up at 5am and goes to work. However, it's very boring and lonely during the day and with only $1000 left, she does nothing exciting anyway. Last Friday we went to the Great Barrier Reef...it was ...

Day 31-47 Well there's alot to write so we'll try and keep it short and sweet. Since moving in to Globetrotters we've not moved anywhere else as it's so cheap and so good. We've learned how to cook! We've had many drunken nights and played quite a few games aof ring of fire. We've met some really great people and drinking buddies but at the minute we're staying with a German guy and a German girl. We've known the guy from when we first moved in and we get on wel...
