Dear Screaming Masses of Adoring Fans:

Just letting you know that i am now in Cairns and i have many tales to tell of my adventures on the way here. BUT. Using the internet is 1 dollar for every 15 minutes and i can't use my own computer so it makes more sense if i just wait until i get to port douglas in a few days. But i had an excellent birthday last night. . . . from which i am still recovering . . . . . Australians are VERY generous with their Tequila . . . . but i should have even more to tell in a few days after snorkelling on the great barrier reef and hiking through the beautiful Daintree rainforest.
