Australia Update

oki916 · 07-01-2008, 08:07 AM

You all are to funny....yes the shamu is in the garage and the keys are in the house. Too bad my engine is torn apart right now and missing some key parts in order to make it run as they are getting specially painted by EVIL LS1!!!!

PICS WILL COME AS SOON AS I GET BACK IN A NEW THREAD

Sydney....arrived late at night after 15 hours on a plane with a 3 hour layover in hawaii, explored the city the first night around the hostel

Today went down to the harbor and climbed the harbor bridge...amazing!!!! Took 4 hours to do it though...well worth it.......then we went to the opera house...amazing also, you will just have to wait for the pics......then took the ferry to Manly Island for some beach walking and fish and chips (I had baby octupus with chips...YUM YUM...reminded me of Japan)

Going to Cairns tomorrow for some beach weather as it is hotter there...it is 65-71 during the day here in sydney and about 35-45 at night so it gets cold.

Sorry Chris and Joe (C dillon Go and Stetford1) no aborigini tata's yet...but I am looking!!!

Did the sydney aquarium before leaving this morning....wow!!! Talk about some big manta's and sharks....found some Koala's that I will be bringing home for someone...(there you happy, there is your clue but you'll never guess what it is)....all the hostel comps won't access my camera so I will do a picture thread once I get back.

Arrived in Cairnes...got some white water rafting, hot air ballooning, scuba, snorkling, and all that jazz coming up in the next few days.

You guys n gals having fun yet living vicariuosly through my travels yet??!!!

Went out tonight and found a huge T-bone with mushroom gravy, mashed taters, and salad for $8.00....it was fantastic!!!!

Mmmkay, I'm jealous!!! Sounds like fun...you need to find a library or a Walmart (to put them on CD) and load the pictures up...jeesh!!!

It is...but here in Cairnes it is 65 in the morning and warms up to 85/90 depending on where you are...no jellies, no rain so its perfect!!!!

You all are just going to have to be patient for the pics....but so you can live vicariuosly once again....

Cape Tribulation today...saw a lot of the rainforest, some really cool animals, lots of crocks, river boat tour, amazing landscapes, beaches, and off to white water rafting tomorrow and then snorkling on the great barrier the next day.

I wish I could...with my spinal injuries and my nerve endings really bothering me in my left leg....I can barely balance on the boat, so surfing is out of the question unfortunately.
