There is so much I want to tell but only 15 minutes to do so! First things first. I must give a shout out to my family and faithful readers of this blog. I've been hearing from various places of random people I didn't know were tuning in and it makes me happy that all the money scammed out of me to get some internet time isn't a waste. To my California cousins...Scott told me you thought it was a funny read and that makes me feel so complimented! Wish I could have been at Nanie's party with you!!
Tara and I left Noosa Heads for Hervey Bay two days ago and spent yesterday touring Fraser Island. It is the biggest sand island in the world and is a world heritage sight (meaning they're trying to preserve it). We saw everything from rainforests to scrubby beach grass to dingos to shipwrecks. We even saw a fern that has been on our planet for over 3 million years!! (well the same kind...obviously those specific ferns aren't that hold...). We dipped our toes and sunbathed next to freshwater perched dune lakes...the ph level is so high in the water that nothing grows in the water so it is crystal clear. Gorgeous. Only 100 exist in the world and 50 of them are on Fraser Island! Tonight we're catching the night bus (8 hours...whew) to Airlie Beach. We are going on a sailing tour of the Whitsundaies for 2 days/2 nights. I'll be snorkeling the Great Barriar Reef!!!! I'm utterly stoked.
Here's some story snipets:
1. Tara and I were pulled over by the police this morning....on our push bikes (aussie for bicycles)!!!! We were wobbling our way down the street, forgetting that we needed to be on the left side of the street. So we came to an intersection and we were trying to straighten ourselves out. We looked erratic. The police car pulled up during our chaos and asked us to pull over and talk to him. He proceeded to tell us that we had to wear our helmets. It's the law. The penalty is $100. Our stomachs dropped. But we said he took it from our accents that we weren't from around here (that obvious?). He told us to go to a bike trail and stay off the streets because we looked out of practice. No fine. Sooo Tara and I proceeded to make our way to the bike trail along the coast (gorgeous). Picture this...we were wearing cute sundresses, sunnies, and helments...definitely looked like were 16...and...I'll have to continue the story next time because my internet time is running out!!!!....it only get's better...
