Cairns

The trip out to the outback was fab! Im sure iv written about this already but i guess i must have just sent alot of emails about it. Uluru (Ayers Rock) was really pretty at sunset and looked amazing from a distance but once we had walked around about a quarter of it we realised it was gona look the same for the next hour! Kings Canyon and the Olgas were gorgeous from every angle. they were the same red colour as Uluru but were surrounded by green trees and we could see for miles.

Im in Cairns now and met up with Laura H and Michelle for a day which was wicked. we had alot of catching up to do. Michelle also invited us to her wedding (shes promised to Murph but isnt actually engaged) so were going to Canada in a couple of years anyway. yay!

Went to Cape Tribulation monday to wednesday which is a rainforest / national park. It certainly lived up to its name and pissed down the entire time i was there! saw lots of lovely huge spiders too :s

Diving on the great barrier reef has outdone everything so far, other than maybe the skydive in Taupo. I did 5 dives over 2days and stayed over night on the boat. Saw a starfish on the nightdive and a sting ray, reef shark, giant clam and turtle on the day dives aswell as hundreds of colourful fish (including Nemo!) and coral.

Been doing pretty much nothing today other than spending money :s my bikini broke though so i needed another one. Met up with Rachel from Cape Trib in the afternoon and we tried to get our hair cut but left it too late and the shops were shutting. Waiting for Laura to get back from the rainforest now and then were getting massages in the night market before our bus to Airlie beach picks us up at midnight.

Missing you all loads!

Love Em x x x
