Ok, so the dilema is - should I do a diving course in the cold winter weather, where it's not great coral but very cheap? Hmmmm... I went 7 months in Thailand without even thinking of doing a dive, and now the though hits me in a freezing windy island. Also didn't even do it up in the north where it's the best in the bloody world. Dammit dammit!
Managed to have a not too depressing birthday by treating myself to a snorkelling trip which was an amazing(albeit slightly short sighted) thing! Didn't find nemo but saw a giant clam.
Currently in Magnetic Island, having been to Cape Tribulation (oh how I loved it), and Mission Beach. I think my current hostel is hosting a year 12 school trip or something - surrounded by bonny faced teens. I should rethink my accommodation strategy cos it's not fun.
What else? Missing Asia BIG time still. Really looking forward to my bro coming out - road trip/cath and kim here we come!
