Alright... soo sorry we haven't been posting that much. Not too much around for affordable internet.
So after our amazing time in Whitsundays, we headed north to Cairns. It was a very pretty drive and one the way we stopped by Mission Beach. We had a great lunch at a very cozy little cafe run by one woman and we were her only customers. Very good! Then up to Cairns. The place we've been staying at is great, right on Trinity Links golf course. Sadly we havn't booked any golfing. The day after we arrived, Kelly and I bought a digeridoo from a local aboriginal artist, which is being shipped back for us. It's hand carved with a very cool garana (lizard) on it. The next day Ed had 3 dives in one day. It was all on the outter barrier reef. He had a DVD made of one of the dives so he'll be able to show some of you when he gets back. I (Jesse) tried to go kitesurfing yesterday but was skunked by the wind (...figures...). I'm planning on an early morning session for Saturday (forcast looks good so far). While he was diving the rest of us took a drive to Port Douglas, which is where we are staying next. It's a great little town and we took advatage of the hot sun to lay on the local beach, and watch crabs dig in the sand. On the way back we saw a heard of kangaroos enjoying dinner in the sunset off in a field- they are such amazing animals- sooo cool. Today we took our time getting up and made our way to Trinity Beach (just outside of Cairns) where we did some tanning and swimming. The beaches here are all so beautiful and surrounded by incredible vegitation and views. Kelly had the BIGGEST bowl of mushroom soup know to man! Not kidding! On the way back we saw a really neat Cable Wakeboard park. No need for a boat, just rent a board and the cable way takes you around the lake. We also saw the Skyway gondola that we'll be taking tomorrow through the rainforest to an aboriginal village called Kuranda. Now we're wandering the downtown area and going to book a few more dives.
Hope you're all doing well. Miss ya lots, our time is winding down so we'll see you all soon.
Cheers!
Kelly, Jesse, Rhonda, and Eddie

Hey guys, good to hear from you again!! We definitely know all about trying to keep everyone updated while travelling...not always convenient. How were Eddies dives? We can't wait to see the DVD. Hopefully Jesse was able to conquer the wind and enjoy some sweet kitesurfing. Sounds like it has been an amazing trip so far. We can't wait to see you guys when you get home.
Be safe and have a blast...it's hard to believe the month has almost passed. Wish we were there.
xoxo
