Still trying to get through the avalanche of emails that arrived during my absence. It's funny that so many people were worried about me... gues that goes to show how good I am at staying in touch with people. I even had an argument with David that I wasn't obvious enough that I was going to be away for an extended period of time.

Goodness!

Well, I guess I didn't talk about the stuff that I did on the tour. Some of the highlights include:

abseiling/rappelling in Kalbarri National Park

getting my passport stamped in Hutt River Province, a small breakaway country right in the middle of Australia with its own prince

feeding the dolphins on the shore at Monkey Mia

sleeping around the campfire at a real outback sheep station under the stars

swimming with reef sharks at Coral Bay

snorkelling at Turquoise Bay

drinking too much, sleeping too little

making new friends

Tonight, I'm off with said new friends on the drink AGAIN. They're such a bad influence on me!
