Stephen's Travels!
Well the time spent with Sophies relatives was great. They really made an effort and made us feel so welcome. I stayed in a place called Caboolture,its about an hour away from Brisbane city. When we arrived off the coach in the city they were there with the video camera filming it all. They were in there 70s but still so lively and active. My sleeping accomodation was great. I stayed in a big Campervan that was so cushty. whilst at Cabooluture we went to the famous Steve Irwin,Australia zoo and experienced the Crock show.Once again I hand fed Kangaroos and saw all the Ozzy wildlife. Onthe Saturday Jean and Dennis (sophies relatives) had organised a big Family Barbi! It was a good day and after doing...3 haircuts.......I got stuck in to the beer.
Towards the end of our time with Jean and Dennis we went out on there sons Yaught. Once again it was a family afair but put on just for us. The boat was Great and I experienced steering...I felt like a real skipper!
We had not been on the boat for long when we noticed 2 Dolphins leading the boat. One soon vanished but the other was a big show off and lead the way for a good 15 mins,jumping in and out the water and doing spins! It was great to see. We docked the boat at Morton Island which was amazing. We were quite a way from the shore and the water was deep so with out further ado we climbed on the top of the dec and jumped the 25ft in to the clear sea. It was ace. There was a ship wrec there as well and we snorkalled around it with all the tropical fish. It was such a good end to the time with Sophies family and I cant thank them enough for all there efforts over the 10 days.
After I departd from the girls I headed back to Brisbane city where i met up with a group of mainly welsh guys that I shared a room with in Byron Bay......
Ross,Emma,Ceri,Gian(said Jan),Deb and Helen. I did not plan to stay in Brisbane for as long as them but ended up doing so because they are a really good group.Me and Emma went back up to the gold coast again and visited another theme park.."Movie World" this time. I used Gians 2 week pass that had his picture on...We look nothing alike but it worked and saved me $65. Feeling pleased that Im with a group again!
