Day 94: Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

When I went to write about today, I realized that my numbering for my days was off and I’d never actually written myself a little outline of what happened in my blog drafts! It was a tough day for me and I ended up writing about it in my travel journal that I’ve been keeping…

Day 92: Serangan to Gili Trawangan

April 28, 2023 — I was up at 5:45am to pack the rest of the way and have breakfast at 6:15am. Kadek was so accommodating — I’d booked my ticket to the ferry with her and she’d said that I could have breakfast early, before I had to be picked up for the ferry, since…

Day 91: Serangan, Indonesia

April 27, 2023 — I woke up on my first full day in Indonesia after a solid sleep. When I crashed, I crashed hard, and woke up the next morning ready to go. After months of having to fix my own breakfasts (even though there really was nothing to this most of the time), it…

Day 90: Australia to Indonesia
April 26, 2023 — After almost exactly three months (or 90 days) in Australia, it was time to go. I’d packed up my things the night before and laid out everything I might need in anticipation of a 4:00am wake-up. I was just gathering a few things together at the last minute when my phone…

Day 87: The Great Barrier Reef
April 23, 2023 — The day started super early at 5:45am as we were doing a sunrise dive/snorkel. The water was decently calm and the boat wasn’t rocking much so I decided to head out for the snorkel. And I was seriously rewarded for it. We were still anchored off Flynn Reef and remained there…

Day 86: The Great Barrier Reef

April 22, 2023 — Our second day on the Great Barrier Reef started at 6:45am as our first dive was at 7:30am. We changed, grabbed towels and gear, and headed up to the sun deck for a briefing. We were still anchored off the Petag Bommie on Malln Reef but the relative calm of the…

Day 85: The Great Barrier Reef

April 21, 2023 — I was in a dead sleep when, at approximately seven a.m., I was woken up by one of the security officers and another person who were looking for someone because they were about to miss a tour that they were booked on. Initially, the name they were calling sounded like a…

Day 84: Cairns, Australia

April 20, 2023 — We started the next morning even brighter and earlier than the day before, waking at 5:45am for breakfast at 6:00am, in order for us to be on the bus at 7:00am. We did quite a bit of driving the morning, but that didn’t mean that we didn’t make several awesome stops…

Day 83: Cairns, Australia

April 19, 2023 — For the first time in several days, I woke up at a very decent hour — I would go so far as to say early, in fact — as I was going on Uncle Brian’s two-day Best of Both Worlds tour, which combines their Waterfalls tour with their day trip to…

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,…
