Melbourne

Today was a travel day as I left the beautiful Queensland coast and bid farewell to the Great Barrier Reef. And what a time it was. After arriving back last night from the sailing trip, I took one of the best showers of my life washing away an amazing combination of sunscreen, sweat, salt water, and aloe vera. The facial tan is looking good. Other parts have some redness from the absolutely intense, blazing sun. After the shower and a brief nap, I had my first taste of kangaroo. I have to admit it felt kind of wrong as they are such cool looking animals. But, I thought back to my conversation with Kate (Debbie's friend) where she shared with me how it is actually a good thing as there is a massive overpopulation of roos. The kangaroo was very tasty.

My flights today took me from Whitsunday Coast- Brisbane and finishing in Melbourne. Haven't seen much of Melbourne yet and tonight will be a quiet one after a big night with the group from the Siska yacht. The entire boat and crew showed up at Beaches- minus the swedish couple. Great time. As for tomorrow, I will check out Melbourne before meeting up with Jason and Joel Silverstein (members of the Schwartz family.) Having met Joel in Atlanta, it could shape up to be an interesting evening. On Wednesday, I will do the Great Ocean Road.

Have to run as the internet cafe is closing down. Take care.
