Moving South

The second half of the dive trip was even better than the first with great weather (a bit of sunburn) and more great aquatic creature encounters including an early morning swim alongside a green turtle eating a jellyfish breakfast. Yum! We took a late Greyhound bus down the coast after the dive trip to Mission Beach. We were picked up by the super friendly Bernie, a 70 something local fella who gave us the standard Aussie chat on the way to the hostel. After a much needed 11 hour sleep we spent the day relaxing, walking along the tropical beach line. On the lookout for Cassowary's (large native bird about the size of a small emu) Sam was attacked by a mean bush covered in barbs and now has the wound to prove it. We sadly didn't see any Cassowary's but did see a Kookaburra and some wierd looking spidery crab looking things. Decided to give skydiving a miss here and do it in Brisbane, so watch this space.
