Dave 's BIG adventure!
The last couple of weeks have been a bit strange, because a lot of people at work and at the hostel have left for the south, leaving for the south, or just leaving to get work! so this means that my working hours have increased a lotwhich is great for me and means i've had time to get to know the new people at work all the faces in the hostel are now new! and really, i don't have much to do with any one from the hostel now! because if i'm not a work or sleeping then i'm out with people from work! so with only a couple of weeks left in Cairns a friend and i decided to rent a car and go and explore the local beaches! and area!
Now since i left i hadn't misted not driving! but as soon as i got behind the wheel it made me relies how easy life is with a car and how many simple things you just can't do if you have no car! so first off we went to Port Douglass! no real reason! but we got told it was a good drive along the ocean road and it didn't disappoint, although Port Douglass did! not much going on at all! but a good day out and a good change from Cairns! we also visited Palm Cove and Trinity beach Trinity being my favorite not much going on there but sand a sea! but there was something very pure and clean about it! and it stood out over any beach i had been before!
I did wonder how driving would be i hadn't driven since the 1st of September the longest gap of no driving since ilearned! but it was fine, no issues and very enjoyable even if it was a Hyundai Getz!
So now it's just a count down to leaving Cairns (Monday 6th @ midnight!) The bus to Melbourne is booked allaccommodation and activities are booked and payed for up till the 28th Dec! plus the first 8 days of Thailand! so with one week left of work i can start to relax and become a real backpacker!
As i'm writing this my phone has just gone the same friend had entered (while drunk) a competition, and won! now it looks like were jumping out of a perfectly good plane on Friday the 2nd Dec! lucky me! whoo! actually this is funny because we had only today been talking about a sky dive before i go!
