I just read a bit of my last blog post and its crazy to even think about me getting up to bike anymore, i'm now chillin at a net cafe in Cairns, Australia. After a semi-relaxing week at home where i did not get near as much stuff done as i should of, me and darcy are now here in aussie land, learning all the ropes for the first time, we spent like an hour this morning buying our groceries for the day as we checked out prices, discussed what to buy, planned our meals, and decided how many days to buy for.
As for our travels the other day, they were also a bit of an adventure, when we arrived in Sydney we had an hour to transfer, and between that we had to go through customs, claim our bags, re-check them in, shuttle between terminals and otherwise figure out what the heck we were doing. we didn't have a chance at making our next flight so we got bumped. in the end it wasn't a big deal, when we got to cairns our shuttle to ended up bringing us to the wrong hostel, we then went to the hostel she thought we were at, which also was the wrong hostel, the lady there though figured out what hostel we were supposed to be at and pointed us in the right direction, its actually not to bad as everything is within a few blocks of each other.
last night we basically just walked around and checked out the town, today we spent some time at a info center where a really helpful lady helped us plan out our next few days, (albeit and expensive few days) we're going to bus it up to to cape tribulation which apparently has a lot of cool things to see, then on sunday we're taking advantage of a dive trip for a couple introductory dives, we're blowing our $60/day limit for the next bit but whatever. we're in australia baby!
as for darcy's perspective, if you're friends with him on facebook you can check out his latest notes where he bascially said what i said here. he may at some point also do the blog post on here. we will try to put some pics up at some point, we may do a pay as you go system, for every $10 transferred to our account, we'll post a picture and say sponsored by so-and-so ;)
anyway that's all for now, wish us well as we figure out this whole travelling thing, we both miss you all, and some more than others ;) out.

Hurray!!!! I am glad to hear you are safe and sound with only some minor hickups. As for paying for pictures...GOOD IDEA!!! Mom and I would be suckers and buy in. I hope to hear a lot more about your travels and hopefully the two of you can grow your friendship instead of tire of it ;) I miss you both so much even though I missed you no matter where you were since it wasn't in Calgary either way. And I sure hope you miss me more than others!!! God Bless You Both. I am sending my Love and Prayers.
