Me and ange playing bowls
this is what we had to do on one of our bus journeys to break the day up Hiya guys, (if u are wondering why it looks like i am in africa from the title, im not, its just for some reason there was no option to click on Australia - weird, and it wouldnt let me publish the blog without a country)So on the last night at airlie beach we decided we would have a slap up meal - so we opted for the all important - CROC and ROO medley - absolutely lovely!!! The roo was very gamey and the croc was scrummy!! top notch!! From airlie we headed out to magnetic island, here we (our gang has grown - sarah, sarah and julia, but we have now moved on and they are still on magnetic but we are all meeting up for a goodbye dinner in cairns which will be fun) hired little car things called mokes (we called ours kermit - it was green and the girls were miss piggy - theirs was pink)- they were so much fun - i want one for at home!! So this is how we traveled round the island. We went to horseshoe bay which was lovely - the water was gorgeous and warm!! their were jellyfish nets up-
phew!! And it was here on this fateful day that (sniff sniff) i broke my fat willys flip flops (they had lasted me since me and ange went to cornwall about 4 yrs ago - hehe), i was very upset, and i had to buy a new pair - (they were childrens and CHEAP so i was happy), but even so, was still distraught about my flip flops dying!! From here we did THE FORT walk up hills (!!)- and saw wild koalas for the first time, and we saw mum and baby too, we even saw a koala move (it jumped from one tree and ran up it, all the ones we have seen having been boring not doing anything - we were very impressed). That night was the full moon party - we had been looking forward to it all day!! it went on till bout 5am (the secruity guards looked really scary - there was one huge bloke who u really didnt want to upset). We were not impressed with it though - the music was rubbish there was no CHEESE - the most important music ever otherwise how are u supposed to dance to stinky old
My cowboy hat!!
At last - i have been waiting so long to find a good one!! dance and trance music!!hehe!! we love our cheese dont we Amz!!! When we got up the next day though 2 of our group had been arrrested for possesion (marijuana)- oh dear- there were undercover cops at the party!! We just had a lazy day around the pool, we had such a laugh, the other girls were doing their diving course. God we were in such hysterics, sarah is so funny!! That night we just chilled out all us girlies playing cards, the hostel was right on the edge of the beach so the views were excellent and so pretty!! From here we went onto Mission where i have now completed my SKYDIVE, 14,000ft!! It was early start, and i loved every minute. In the plane everyone was really quiet, but oh no there was me being hyper in the back - i didnt really get nervous the whole way up - i hadnt thought i was nervous at all untill we watched the dvd and my face looks slightly worried just as we are moving to the door!! So dont worry u can all laugh at me as ive got the dvd and photos!!! It was so amazing, just falling,
Night out in airlie
these were the bus drivers - red t-shirt was frat our driver scary falling outta the plane at first cos u just drop away and somersault backwards and then ur just flying - i loved it, i could really do it again!! Annoyingly, i couldnt get a solo diver to film me as u had to pre-book this but i was never told so i just had to have it filmed via handycam - i was a bit upset as i had wanted a solo diver to film it - sniff sniff - the photos are just as stupid though!!Tomorrow we head upto Cairns where we do our diving course. Im so pleased we are doing it there, we read through the leaflet the other day and it sounds so cool. We are two days in the classroom, and three days out on a liveaboard boat on the outer barrier reef. We have 9 dives in total (they (i think) have private dive sites for us which is great) , one of which is a night dive which i am really looking forward to!! Then we go upto Cape tribulation for more diving. On the 9th Nov we fly out to Darwin and head down the centre - a woo!!!Hope all i
This was at airlie beach on a night out
