Well, after 7 awesome months in Cairns, its time to see some more sights. I'm off today for Western Australia, a town called Exmouth. There, I'll be doing my dive instructor course. That means I'll be allowed to teach and certify people in scuba diving! Also in Exmouth there's some amazing reefs and best of all, there are WHALESHARKS. Big, beautiful, plankton eating sharks that can get almost 60 feet long and I'm going to swim with them!
I'll be in Exmouth for about three weeks, then I'm going to spend some time in Perth, which is a city about a days drive south. After that I'm looking at coming back to good old Cairns and trying to get a job with my new dive instructors certification!
The last few days in Cairns have been pretty crazy. I had my last day of work two days ago, which was a blast. There's a tradition that happens on boats around here... on your last day of work you get thrown in the marina! The Cairns marina is pretty gross. All those boats in such a small space, I'm sure there's plenty of chemicals... also some crocodiles, dead fish and other horrible things. And I got thrown into it! Twice! It's a tradition forged out of love... or so they say... But its been a great last few days here, making it even harder to leave! The good news is I'm coming back!
So its goodbye to Cairns for now... This has been such an amazing experience so far, I've met so many amazing people that I love to death. I've found such a great little family out here! It's sad to leave, but for now its only temporary. I'm off to new adventures! So expect more blog entries soon, because a lot will be going on that I can tell you about! And hopefully lots of amazing pictures!
