Mission Beach

Got back from Cape Tribulation, checked into Gilligans... what an amazing place to stay, party party party... the bathrooms are all ensuite and seperate and the atmosphere is one big party if I haven't mentioned it already. went to the Woolshed and chilled, came back early, gotta be up for my bus to Mission Beach. Got the bus in the morning after getting lost going to the bus station! just made it, grabbed the bus and got off in Mission Beach, didn't have prebooked accomodation, but I ran into Angelika (she was getting on the bus) and she stayed at Treehouse YHA. I figured why not check it out. Not a bad place, nice and relaxing. They have a pool on a deck that overlooks the rainforest. What a view!!! Sam threw Eniat into the pool with all her clothes on.. it was classic, read a bit of my book, I'm starting to get into this reading thing again. Did a Cannonball into the pool... ya, it's not that deep, ended up kneeling on the bottom of the pool...he he... kinda fun tho.

Went to a place called Dunk Island, it was so nice, like a patch of blue sky was only hovering above the island, took a fast catamaran over, nice beach, awesome resort that must cost an arm and a leg to stay at b/c it's right on the beach. there was an airstrip there, reminded me a lot of Tarapoa in Ecuador when I was down there, middle of nowhere and all you's got is this resort!

Got to be Enviro again, didn't walk on the Mangrove roots that were on the beach, walked around them as much as possible... didn't pick up any shells or mess with the bits of Coral... the view was breathtaking and incredible as is most of the stuff I see here... don't know how or why anybody can not be happy seeing all of it regularly.

got back to town, went to grab some food, can you beleive it, they have ... yup.. POUTINE!!! they call it chips 'n' cheese 'n' gravy... but it's the same thing... had a burger, ran into Jo from Cape Trib on the street, it's amazing how many people you keep running into on a regular basis, even though all the schedules are chaotic and different... strange azz...

Almost went for a swim at nite, but chickened out when I realized how cold it would be.... the stars were awesome tho, so clear in the sky... it's amazing the crap we see with the light pollution in the major city centres....

I hung out on the couch reading the paper, haven't read the news in ages, have no clue what's going on in the world. petted one of the cats that lives at the hostel...big and fat she was... reminded me of a cat I knew a while ago... Ginger.. and there was one there that reminded me of Cesar... had a coffee, learnt and shared some offensive jokes.
