Pääsiäistervehdys Australiasta!   Ilmastointilaite hurraa tasaisesti vieressäni kuivattaen ihanasti trooppisen kuuman kosteuden iholtani. Istun keittiön pöydän ääressä yrittäen hetkeksi vaipua omiin ajatuksiini, omaan rauhaan. Yritän sulkea pois mielestäni tämän hetken ja keskittyä muistelemaan kuluneen neljän viikon tapahtumia ja ajettuja ...

Arrived in Cairns today ready for cruise tomorrow to Great Barrier Reef. It is the wet season and they really mean wet. We have just had a meal in the restaurant surrounded by forest on all sides. No sides to the building and the rain is absolutely crashing down outside. Warm and realaxing inside. Frogs, toads and insects making a row outside to...

Arrived in Cairns early yesterday morning, and it turned into the morning from hell. I got handed over to immigration because apparantly, voluntary work is included in the kind of work I'm not allowed to do on a tourist visa. I clearly did not know that! I had to the woman as much information as possible about RealGap so she could see if they we...

So we flew again back up north to Cairns and the weather was still rubbish! We managed to meet up with Sophie and Emma again which was nice. To make the most of us being in Cairns we decided to do a day of Jungle Surfing in Cape Tribulation, we hired a car and drove ourselves there. Jungle surfing was amazing! So much fun! It was a really good w...

After one day recovering from the New Year's celebrations, it was time to leave Sydney (for the moment) and start our road trip down the East Coast. The Statistics: around 2700 km between Cairns all the way back to Sydney, on a big gold car re-named the Gold Mobile for obvious reasons. The Australian East Coast is a well known tourist destinatio...

Back in Cairns. I did a scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef. It was a little bit good. Saw loads of fish, swam with some turtles and saw a stingray (R.I.P Steve. God rest his soul. We love ya mate!) Hmmm... what else did we do. Got drunk. Sat on the Esplanade a bit. Mended my ipod. It bloody broke on the island so i've been 5 weeks without musi...

Hello, We arrived in Cairns yesterday evening having sat on the greyhound bus for 12 hours. After being on the boat we both had 'land sickness' and were walking around like we were drunk until today! Even in bed it felt like i was still swaying on the boat!! We have just looked around town today and bought a few things to send home to my grandpa...

Upolu .... en drom! Etter aa ha ligget i heten fant reisefolget ut at en ny tur til revet var passende. Anna hadde i lang tid dromt om UPOLU, en liten strandoy ute i revet, omringet av turkist hav og koraller. Stedet viser seg aa vaere lite kjent for vertene vaare Elaine og Robbie og vi maa naermest overtale dem om aa faa dra dit. Noe vi etterhv...
