There’s supposed to be free internet at the hostel but I’m damned if I can get it working. Sorry for the delay in all these, but I’ve been busy, and my reliable internet connections have turned out not so reliable. Hopefully things will improve henceforth. I think hanging with the frenchmen and their general disregard to sticking to a schedule has taken its toll, but we part ways soon. Management would like to thank you for your patience.
Last day on the water was choppier than the day before, unfortunately. That said, I slept pretty good, and thankfully didn’t get hit with any seasickness.
Went snorkelling again in the morning (better equipment overcame the poor conditions, and it was better than the first time out. Maybe experience helped too), then swam. Did some jumping off the dock. Saw a bunch of fish, jellyfish, etc. Some of the divers saw turtles, but not me.
Back on land now, and getting things sorted. Quite difficult when my brain still thinks it’s in the water, and the room is spinning. Lots of emails to answer, blogs to post, possibly pictures to upload. Plus laundry and booking a flight out of Cairns. I’ve got more pictures, but I probably won’t get a chance to upload them all until I get to Sydney again. Just talked to Gregor and it looks like we’re meeting up in Sydney on the 29th, so I have a fair bit of the east coast to see now! I’m off to Brisbane at an ungodly time in the morning.
