Been sleeping while i have the joy of a massive hotel bed. Distinct lack of beer... now that is wrong!

So, in Coogee still, had to make changes to Townsville plans 'cos I can't get the flights i want, so... flying to Cairns Sunday, doing some reef dives out on the Great Barrier Reef then going into the rainforest for some R&R in the jungle!

Weather has broken again today after 2 days of pleasant rain, wandered over to Manly yesterday and booked my trips. Many many thanks to Kim for being so patient @ Budget Oz Travel. Whilst i'm logging links for future referance, breakfast at the Barzura cafe rocks and is worth a trip from Sydney alone!

Decided to leave the hotel comforts behind and i'm going to stay down in George Street till i fly on Sunday. Good opportunity to get a few beers down my dehydrated neck methinks.

NSW have won the State of Origin rugby and the NSW boys staying in my hotel last night made sure we knew about it Funny too, watching Wimbledon more here than i would at home...

Off to check out and get the bus into Sydney... until next time...
