Day 71: Townsville to Magnetic Island
April 7, 2023 — On Good Friday, I packed up my stuff, had breakfast and some coffee (we love free coffee at hostels!) and checked out of my room. I took a Beam scooter to get to the ferry terminal which was a really fun experience! I took the 11:00am ferry after purchasing a return…

Day 70: Townsville, Australia
April 6, 2023 — I woke up late and read for most of the morning. A slow day was very much in order and it was nice to lie around and work my way through a book. I haven’t done anything quite like it in some time. I went for lunch at Yayo’s, a Greek…

Day 69. My little brother will get a kick out of that. April 5, 2023 — I woke up in the morning and had a couple pieces of toast for breakfast after packing up the stuff in my room. I checked out and headed for the bus terminal which was about ten minutes from the…

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…

Day 64: Airlie Beach, Australia
March 31, 2023 — I don’t think I’ve ever felt relief as sweet as when I finally got off that Greyhound bus in Airlie Beach. If you missed the post where I detail the journey, check it out here. I did, however, get some pretty decent sleep on the bus and for that reason I…

Days 63 to 64: Overnight to Airlie Beach
March 30 to 31, 2023 — Many of you will remember my overnight trip from Melbourne to Sydney, which took about twelve hours and wasn’t too bad. If you need a refresher, see my post here. This was so much worse. I’m not a hundred percent sure what made it so bad, but I do…

Day 63: Rainbow Beach, Australia
March 30, 2023 — I woke up in the morning and gathered my stuff so that I could check out of the room by ten a.m. Luckily it wasn’t too difficult since I hadn’t had much chance to get unpacked at all! Once I’d checked out, I sat with my stuff at one of the…
