It was pretty awesome and I definitely recommend seeing it. It had more animals than Currumbin and you got to interact with them without paying extra money. The crocodile show was a little disappointing, but I bet it was much cooler when steve was around. Jackie and I spent the whole day there seeing every exhibit, petting koalas and feeding the kangaroos. It was tiring, but worth it.
Tuesday night Hanne came over and we worked on planning Spring Break. And, we bought our tickets to go CAGE DIVING WITH GREAT WHITE SHARKS. It’s official. I go on October 2nd and I can barely control my excitement. Look out Bucket List, I’m kickin your ass. Its also lookin like the trip is gonna be a little pricey so I’m gonna try to get a part-time job. Jackie works for a winery as a server at parties which could be a pretty sweet gig. I’ll keep you updated on the job hunt. Hanne and I stayed up with the roomies until 2am watching movies and drinking wine. It was a glorious night.
Wednesday morning came way too early, but I had to forego sleep to go enjoy Ekka. Ekka is the annual show of Queensland and was formally known as the Royal Queensland Show. Its pretty much like the state fair, but WAY cooler and without deep fried snickers. Jackie and I quickly discovered after arriving that they had free food and wine tasting in one of the buildings. About an hour later we had visited each booth and decided we need to go on a wine tasting tour down in wine country. We then got tattoos. No mom, not a real one, just a fun airbrush one. I chose the Chinese symbol that means “crazy” and it was perfectly fitting. We then met up with Vibeke and headed to the fashion show. It was a lot of fun to watch, and of course to crack on the models. After the show we explored the markets and Vibeke and I got makeovers at the mineral makeup stand. It was fun, but I’m not paying $80 for powder. A lil American fatty food and we were content with our trip. I took the train part of the way home and a bus part of the way but I walked the last bit. It was raining. I’vc been here over a month and haven’t even seen a hint of rain. So I danced the whole way home, and smiled through the rain. Tomorrow it will be 3 years since we lost Natalie and she loved dancing in the rain. I don’t think its just a coincidence that it rained tonight . . . miss you my love.
Tomorrow, its class all day and then Ladies Night with Hanne. I’m laying low this weekend to catch up on work (and sleep) but who knows what might happen between now and then.
