As Jason mentioned in his post, were on our way to Indonesia tomorrow! Today we took a cable car up to an area of rainforest in Cairns. While very lush and green, not particularly notable proceding New Zealand, but nice nonetheless.
Jason and I cocooned ourselves in our car for the majority of New Zealand and our frequent migration around the country kept us from interacting with other travelers. Australia has been special for me because we spend 3 days a boat with a great group of divers and have also been lucky enough to have superb roomates in our sharehouse. From our roomate, who is a solicitor (aka lawyer), working on a pro bono case defending aboriginal land, to a 20 yr old dive buddy traveling during his gap year after high school, each person has interesting stories to tell; this is probably what i enjoy most about backpacking, though it can be pretty sweaty and gross, at times.
Things I will miss about Australia:
- cool/interesting people from our scuba trip and sharehouse
- Tim Tams: the best biscuits ever (I'm told they have them in the States now!)
- BBQ kangaroo: tastes like mix of pork and beef. Very delicious!
- Great Barrier Reef
thanks for keeping up with us!
love,
Jennifer
