Wow. I had no idea I was so insanely late for a post. But it looks like this one comes one full month after my last. Anyway. A lot has happened. For starters, I'm not in Sydney anymore. I'm in Cairns for a 4 day diving trek out to The Great Barrier Reef. This all happened relatively quickly for a number of reasons. One, I'm sick of my job-so I quit it. Two, another solid job lead at a considerably higher rate of pay made dumping the old one quite easy. Last, and most significantly, the whale migration season is ending soon and my last few fleeting chances to snorkel among the Minke Whales was quickly coming to a close. There's no guarantee I will actually get to see a whale on the trip (they never guarantee that) but if I'm going to have any chance at all of seeing them, this is it.
By nothing more than just dumb luck and good timing I managed to book this trip within the one week gap I'll have while I'm transitioning jobs. I'm a little disappointed I won't get to spend more time up here but I've had my heart set on the whale thing for a while now and I just couldn't see myself being content with sitting around the apartment for a week, waiting for the next job to start.
Sorry for being so slack with the updates here people but there hadn't really been anything (outside of work) recently to report on. Although, I should note, these past couple of weekends have been very entertaining. I FINALLY hit up the zoo, did a whale watching tour, and did a dive refresher course.
I'm pretty beat now though so I think I'll save all the details for a later time. Supposedly the boat I'm going to be on out on the reef has internet access, in which case, I shall be updating sooner than later.
G'night all!
