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 72: Magnetic Island, Australia
April 8, 2023 — I spent a very nice and quiet morning reading by the ocean. The breeze blew in off the water, the waves lapped at the shore, and the music played lightly on the hostel’s stereo system behind me. I enjoyed some Froot Loops cereal and had an additional glass of milk while…

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: Airlie Beach to Townsville
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…
