my first plans when i started thinking about travelling didnt include oz at all.. i didnt think i would like it much. I thought it would be just like england. Man was i wrong. I love australia! infact i think i might migrate there when i grow a little wiser and wrinklyer.
I started off in Cairns and was planning to get a flight down to brisbane. Well i missed that flight!!
The best advice i can give to anyone who wants to travel. Dont make plans... just go with it.
So cairns was great fun! Met some really lovely girls. one who i then travelled around more of australia with, Sinead. Cairns was strange.. it was weird to be on the other side of the world.. i kind of forgot i was travelling and started feeling really at home. The hostel we stayed in had bed bugs which i was terrified of getting again! BEWARE! they get in allll your clothes and rucksack.
The nightlife in cairns was great!!!! i went to a club called giligans with a german girl called Julia who entered the wet t.shirt competition. I wish i had had the confidence to enter but wasnt really feeling it after stuffing my face at dinner. Plus i wasnt drunk enough! ( at this point i was yet to discover goon)
I booked a few tours including cape tribulation and snorkelling in the great barrier reef. Both incredible experiences, the fishies where huge! At this point i'm thinking myself as a pretty good swimmer, free diver and like to show off to anybody who will watch.. "mummy look look look" springs to mind. Cape tribulation was great as well we swam down a fresh water lake waterfall and drunk the water, it was so refreshing. and swimming down a waterfall is so much fun, took me a while to pluck up the courage to jump off the rocks but my theory was if the little 8 year olds could do it so could i!
After a few weeks in cairns i got a greyhound coach down to Magnetic Island, at the coach stop i met a guy called Paul. Little did i know we would become really close friends and travel through the whole of australia together. after the long coach journey chatting to paul and watching crap films of hannah montana we got the boat over to magnetic island. WOW is all i can say. The first night i was there they had everybody cross dressing, was so much fun. I will have you know i was a finalist :P yes i make a great man.. its so comfy having your hand down your pants!! This is where paul and i met Harriet Matt and Chris, who we would also travel through the rest of Australia with. It was such a great night and so much fun to see all these gorgeous boys dressed up in dresses and bikinis. what a sight!
Paul and i also met these two guys Tom and Sam who really took the cross dressing to another level wearing matching sailor outfits- which they already had packed :P
The next day the four of us hired a barbie car and drove around the island, what a beautiful place. We went on a Kuala walk where you are supposed to find lots of them in the trees, but i think we where talking too much because we only saw one.
I was really sad when i had to leave Paul and the other guys behind but the next stop was Airlie Beach!! Ready and rearing to get on the clipper boat to do my whitsundays sailing trip. for those of you who haven't done whitsundays.. the clipper is the BEST boat. its the party boat that holds 50 people ready to drink there own body weight in goon and jump into the sea from the on board boat. I met some great people on the boat, Mikey being the main one.. we got on really well and he was so cute! I also got really close with Alice, my little partner in crime! The whitsundays was amazing, seeing dolphins swim by the boat with spotlights shining on the sea, incredibly bright nights and 10 shooting starts in one evening!!
We drunk litres of goon and it showed when i ended up falling over and tearing a ligament in my ankle. BOY O BOY was that painful.. to this day i'm still pretty sure that i broke it. but i managed to carry on :P
Thats all for now!! I'll update you later x
