Day 80: Cairns, Australia
April 16, 2023 — Today was a day that I’d been looking forward to for quite some time. After changing the date a couple of times due to scheduling issues, today was finally the day of my Great Barrier Reef flyover with GSL Cairns. I got picked up outside the hostel, shuttled to the airport,…

Day 79: Cairns, Australia
April 15, 2023 — Today was another great day! I got up and had breakfast, changed, and went to the Cairns Aquarium. Probably not the best timing on my part, since it was a Saturday and it was pretty packed with parents and little kids. But it was still a very informative and cool trip…

Day 78: Cairns, Australia
April 14, 2023 — It was an exciting day with a trip to Kuranda! I woke up decently early with my alarm but then rolled back over for a little while because I was feeling a little headache-y and I didn’t want to get up yet. And, for me, if I don’t coddle my headaches…

Day 76: Cairns, Australia
April 12, 2023 — My first full day in Cairns! I always love moving to a new place because it’s full of potential. Anything can happen, and you’re about to find out what will. I got up, dressed, and ate the rest of my Froot Loops, which I was very sad about but it was…

Day 74: Magnetic Island, Australia
April 10, 2023 — I woke up and started my day with some Froot Loops, then had some chocolate with a glass of milk in honour of Easter. It was Easter Sunday at home, with the family gathered at my grandmother’s for dinner, and I tried to phone and video chat but I wasn’t able…

Day 73: Magnetic Island, Australia
April 9, 2023 — In a twist of events that I’m not sure of the impetus for (could have been my alarm, could have been the heat of the room, could have been my own internal clock), I was up to see the sunrise. It was beautiful, although I did wish the clouds had cleared.…

Day 68: Airlie Beach, Australia
April 4, 2023 — I woke to a beautiful sunny day, which also happened to be a day that I was simultaneously exhilarated for and dreading. When I was still home, I talked about planning to skydive while in Australia. When I got here, I hadn’t booked it yet because I wasn’t sure which company…

Day 67: Airlie Beach / The Whitsundays
April 3, 2023 — We had another early-morning wake-up call at 6:00am, once again complete with Disney songs. I can remember hearing the theme from The Lion King and “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid. Such great morning songs. The day started out semi-gloomy. We had breakfast in the saloon and up on deck.…

Day 66: Airlie Beach / The Whitsundays
April 2, 2023 — Our first full day on the boat. It was an early morning wake-up call, but I got a serious kick out of how they wake you up on this boat: Disney songs. It really put a smile on my face. The beautiful sky that we woke up to helped, too, and…

Day 65: Airlie Beach / The Whitsundays
April 1, 2023 — A new month, a new adventure! I woke up at 8:00am feeling quite a bit better compared to the day before. I got out of bed at 8:30 and started gathering my stuff because I needed to check out that morning. I ate breakfast, took a shower, and organized everything before…
