WEEK 5

Day 28 & 29 - Cairns - Chill morning for us was fab not to have to be up and decamping didnt leave till 11am so managed to get some much needed laundry done!! Arrived at Cairns in a hostel hurray beds again for two nights luxury! I went horse riding with company called Blazing Saddles, was absoultely fab because I got to go on my own with Sam (english girl working there) and we trotted and cantered all over the cattle station. Managed to get lovely big bruise but hey was worth it totally. Night out at the Woolshed, cheap eats and few drinks all round, Carly broke her thong (flip flop) on our way to Gilligans, great place for backpackers, watched the Rugby - come on England!!!!! Next morning up early for our trip to great barrier reef. Passions of paradise was our boat and we had awesome day, snorkling and scuba was on the agenda. I couldnt believe I was there it was amazing!!! Nightmarket was great and I had a body massage for $15 which was much needed I was aching all over!!

30 & 31 - Mission Beach - Quick shopping in town where manage to get new top for my birthday and necklace to match (only 40 once ha ha)!! Drove to Josephine falls then onto Mission Beach to set up camp and 4 of the girls went off to do skydive onto the beach. We went to watch them land but the guy told us the wrong end of the beach so we saw them but not up close. Watched their DVD's which were fab!!! Next day was our white water rafting down the Tully river. Grade 3 and 4 rapids and waterfalls. This was fab really great day out, Donna and Luanne didnt enjoy at first but we all survived!!!! Meal at Scottys and had Kangaroo steak was delicious, I know sorry for eating skippy but needs must when in Aussieland.!!

32 - Airlie Beach - Luannes birthday 26th Sept and we went to the Billabong Sanctury where we got to cuddle a Koala and hug a Wombat, hold a croc, the pics are great!!! I know I ate Kangaroo night before but hey would do it again ha ha!!! carley kindly dyed my hair and gave me a quick trim, funny as doing it this time in the toilets and not in middle of the camp like in Utah!!! Out for drinks for Luanne, boogie on down in couple of the bars. Couldnt believe John who met at Wakeup was in the same bar - small world eh!!
