Hello!  We’ve escaped the rain for the moment and are in sunny Noosa in Queensland.  This place is adorable.  I decided to be brave and take a surfing lesson today and guess what – surfing is really difficult!  I think the hardest part was actually getting my board out to the freakin wave!  After that it was alright.  So, after two banged knees, thigh chaffing, and a butt sand plant, I managed to stand up twice on my board.  This makes me happy.

But now I ache and I’ll be lazy and then tomorrow it’s more driving to go.  Final destination – Cairns/Great Barrier Reef fun.

Spent a few nights in Brisbane where we found a cool cocktail bar that spun missy elliot tunes and I was happy once more.   Met up with a buddy from my Contiki tour and walked around – I think any city with palm trees is fine enough.

I just realized that as I am sitting here typing I”m getting the sensation of water pulling me out so I think this may be my cue to go get some food (at the supermarket at the moment paying top bucks for pricy internet! 

I Just realized today that I”m’coming home in about 3 weeks.  I can’t believe it’s been over half a year.  I suppose I’ll write more and reflect and all that good stuff later.  Right now, snags on the barbie (sausages!)
