All Seasons Gateway Resort Cairns

... breakfast i went on the internet for a bit and had a look around the hostel, my tiredness was starting to kick so i decided i would have a read of the travel guide and scope out the place and what i was going to do. It wasn't long before i fell asleep in the chair for 3 hrs though, i woke up all groggy and went and got showered as i thought i should venture into the centre of cairns this evening.

I had dinner in the hostel which was pretty good, Fish and ...

... comfy chairs and hammocks to relax in. Its owned by a woman from Belfast who now lives here.
We were staying near a big shopping centre so we did some shopping and also went to the cineam that night to see couples retreat which was really good.
Thursday we booked into a day tour to go visit and snorkel in the great barrier reef-we also decided to do another intro scuba dive there-we have already done 1 in cyprus but was only on a beach so ...

... t necessarily categorize as a fear but it certainly brought some adrenalin flowing back in those places it hadn’t flown in a few months. I remember going out on the boats as a kid with Dad when I was so small I still had that ity bity red and black life jacket which I’m pretty sure now wouldn’t even fit over my head and going on diving/camping trips during the summer and most of all the weird and wonderful treasures brought up from the depths of the Atlantic ...

... our own - thats how friendly everyone is!

However i leave Cairns on the 19th July for Fiji to do the island hopping, i leave Fiji on the 28th July for Darwin for my trip down to the Alice Springs and then arrive in Perth on the 8th August!

The plan is going very well and i am looking forward to meeting even more people!
Big kisses to you all i am missing you all very much!

Loads of love

... your money to buy a drink. The roadhouse claim to fame, although its grim, is that a British backpacker was abducted just 12k down the road, he's never been found but his girlfriend managed to escape the attacker and she was at times suspected to be involved in his disappearance but she wasn't, perhaps you remember it? Back on the coach and the backpacker disappearance wasn't far from my mind and I can't reiterate enough how baron it is in the middle of Aus, the cattle farms ...

... in single file down a steep incline into a stream and forward as they climbed up. what happened to the flatlands. i asked the guides not to keep pinting out snake marks in the ground and huge spiders spanning two trees 300 yards apart. this wasn't necessary and hadn't been included in their publicity. i must admit though, as time went on and my thighs started to relax into a rhythem i could see the attrsaction of horseriding for single females and positivly chortled when we ...

... in their shark tank exhibit. Several times a day they let divers have the thrill of hanging out in the tank and observing the marine life up close. Though hardly challenging it was a very cool experience to swim among the large fish and even pet them. The most dangerous fish in the entire tank was not a shark at all but rather a territorial Maori Wrasse with a bad temper. All in all it was a very interesting way to spend an hour and it got me mentally prepped for diving later in ...

... anyone staying at the resort in the 18-35 age bracket in the last two days, everyone seemed middle aged or had come as a family. I found this a little odd considering this was the hotel where almost all people starting or finishing a Contiki tour in Cairns stay, and tomorrow morning my tour would be leaving from here. Not that it really mattered though, as I was sure I would meet the masses as we jumped on the bus and started our tour early the next morning.
