So.... I haven't blogged for a really log time and a lot has happened of course so as quick and short as I can and without leaving out many details I'll give a quick run down!
-After leaving Orpheus island we headed to Cairns. The boat ride to the main land was terrifying because it was rainy and windy so the boat felt like it was going to tip several times. But we made it safe and once we got to our hostel we all showered and went out! The guys went to a bar because they had to get up early while a group of us girls went to the club Gilligans! it was a blast and we danced all night!!
-1st day in Cairns I went bungy jumping in the rainforest!! absolutely terrifying at first especially cause im terrified of heights (but now since i have had to do a lot of stuff with heights on this trip im doing sooo much better) but it was amazing! words can't even describe it! i thought i was going to do it attached to my friend but once we got to the top they told us we couldn't and i had to go alone! i thought they would have to push me but i just walked out to the edge, they counted down from 5 and i dove!! i didn't think about it and i knew if i would i wouldn't have gone. but no worries i have lots of pics and a video!
-that night we went shopping and then out again but it wasn't as exciting, i didn't stay out too long cause i was sooo exhausted!
-the 2nd day in Cairns we went to Rainforestation!!! it was a blast! I got to take a photo with a Koala and feed kangaroos and hold a baby wallaby!! it was absolutely amazing! Later that night we went to the night markets. it was really cool, they also had 15 dollar 40min full body massages by some dodgy asians and since i was sore from bungy jumping me and 2 other girls decided to do it and they were actually very nice!
-The 3rd day was the Passions of Paradise catamaran ride and i got to scuba and snorkel in 2 different locations on the Great Barrier Reef! it was breath taking! they fish and coral was so spectacular just like u would imagine! That night we went back to the night markets to buy a few more things then we went out to party again!
-the 4th day in Cairns we went on a canopy walk and to the boulders which is a large fresh water creek. Both were absolutely beautiful but kind of a let down for our last day since everything else we had done had been way exciting! but since everyone who was on the group flight home had to leave the hostel at 3 30am we just decided that we would go out and not go to bed. So that night everyone went out together and it was a blast! We went to woolshed which is a bar where everyone gets up on the tables and dances and then back to gilligans for more dancing! We ended up going to bed for an hour but then i got up with the others to say good by and of course i cried like a baby!
-The next morning me and Kristin went to breakfast with the people that were left then we said good by where i cried again and then headed to the air port with a few others. Since we were flying domestic the luggage requirements were dif and i had to pay $180 for my luggage being over weight :( then we said good by to the rest of the group where i cried again then we were off to Adelaide!
-Gabbi and James (kristin's cousin) picked us up at the air port and we went to dinner! They are both so much fun and a blast to be around. So far we have been shopping, to the zoo and wine tasting! it is kind of cold here, about in the 50s which we were in the 80s so it seems even more cold but its absolutely beautiful! It's extremely different then Queensland. They say south austraila is a lot more conservative and that queensland is like the deep south in the states and from what i have seen that is so true! but were having a great time other then the fact that Kristin's cousin James is now hospitalized for the rest of our stay here because of a tumor they found in his stomach the day we got here. They don't know a whole lot about it but they are running lots of test so let him be in your prayers!
I will once again try to be better about posting on my blog! love u all and miss u and i will be home in 1 week!!
