Hong Kong!

I’ve spent the last bit of my travels in Hong Kong. After a looooong flight from Darwin to Sidney to Hong Kong, I finally arrived in Hong Kong on fridaynight. With the directions I had gotten from the website of the hostel I grabbed a bus from the airport and drove into the center. It was quite a change from laid-back Darwin into hectic and busy Hong Kong. The...

Kakadu National Park!

The plane to Darwin took off just close after 19:00. I arrived in Darwin just after 21:00. I took a shuttle bus to the hostel, which is located right in town. I hit the sack quite early that night as I was really really tired. The next day I met up with some french dude in my room and we had a little talk about his life here in Oz. I then went out for some food and...

Diving the Great Barrier Reef!

After completing my theoretical exam, I was off to the great barrier reef the next day. We were picked up at 7 in the morning and we were brought to the office of the diving company. There we had a short briefing about what was going to happen. Afterwards we were brought to the harbour and we got onto a small boat which was going to bring us to a larger boat which...

Cairns & Scuba Diving!

Cairns & Scuba Diving!

The last couple of days in Cairns have been really nice. The first night after arriving in Cairns we all went out for a few drinks downtown Cairns. The next day was one of the last nights of two girls we’ve been traveling with. We went out to a mexican place for dinner and afterwards we went to the movies to see the new Shrek 3. Afterwards I went out for a few...

Magnetic Island!

A 6-hour bus journey up to townsville later I arrived in Townsville, a nice chilled out city. We checked into our hostel and I went out for some food. After dinner I went to the cinema to see the new Pirates of the Caribean. The movie ended quite late, so I wandered back to my hostel and caught a good night sleep. The next day I had to get up early to catch the ferry...

Whitsunday Islands!

After my birthday we had another birthday to celebrate. Josh, one of the guys I am traveling with happened to have his birthday the day after mine. We went out for dinner at a mexican restaurant where they did “all you can eat chilli” for $8. We then went to several bars right here in Airlie Beach. It was another great night, although we were all still a...

My 22nd Birthday!

Yes everyone!! The day has come.. I am officially 22 now!! I went to Airlie Beach to celebrate my birthday together with the couple of people I have been traveling with the last couple of weeks. After a 14 hour bus ride from Rainbow Beach and a 2 hour delay in Hervey Bay, I arrived at 11 in the morning in Airlie Beach on my birthday. The guys were singing for me in...

Fraser Island!!

After arriving at Rainbow Beach in the afternoon, I checked in and went to the beach. Afterwards I had some dinner for 4 dollars at the hostel and had a few drinks that same night. The day after I went to the beach again and sat there for the afternoon. Late in the afternoon we had to be back at the hostel for a briefing about our trip to Fraser Island. They showed...

Brisbane & Noosa

The few days in Brisbane were quite relaxing. I didn’t do awfully much, went to the gym and checked out the city center… And went to the beer brewery of XXXX, a big Australian beer brand. We had a tour through the brewery and we learned something about the history of beer and how it’s made. It was pretty nice to see how the brewery worked and how...
