Good news, the blog is back!
Well if only for this one post…Anyhow just given those out there who may
or may not still follow check this blog.
It has been a little over 7 months now since Jamie and I arrived in the ‘Land
Down Under.’ Other than a little bit of
sight seeing around Victoria, we have mostly been bumming around Melbourne
town. The biggest adjustment to living
in Australia for myself would have to be the cost of living. One of the first nights out I bought a round
of 9 shots in celebrating Jamie’s birthday, you can believe my amazement when I
got the bill for $120! Especially after
coming from Thailand where everything was much cheaper than the US or
Europe. I digress…After working and
bumming around Melbourne I have decided to move back to the beach. I am currently living in Port Douglas,
Queensland, on the Northeast corner of Australia along the Great Barrier
Reef.
So far things are going well, I
arrived two days ago got settled in and got a job within a couple hours. With the cost of living being so expensive and
Uncle Sam knocking every month for his student loan repayments it was a huge
relief I could find work asap. So far I
have been sailing, bbq’n roo’s, beach bumming and sun burning. Although on my beach run this morning it was
alarming to see a dead string ray washed ashore with two massive bite marks on
it, which only reminds one of the creatures lurking close to the beach. So far so good though, we will see what the
next couple months have in store for me.
