Melbourne is Freaking Freezing

Cairns was AWESOME. It was so WARM and SUNNY. Perfect for lying on the beach and snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef which we did lots of :) It's so unbelievably nice up there. Everything's all green and the ocean's this amazing turquoise colour. Ah the tropics. It'd be so nice to live there, though it'd get hot in the summer. And there's so much to do. In a week, we squeezed in shopping at the city, snorkelling at the Barrier Reef, exploring/snorkelling at Green Island, visited endless national parks, ate sugarcane at one of the sugar mills (YUM), went go-karting, went to a wildlife sanctuary, read three books, went to Port Douglas, Mossman, Kuranda, Atherton and Innisfail, (random towns) and hung out at the resorts four pools. Ah now that's a holiday. And notice how I didn't mention homework, of which I now have a massive pile of. Damn English. Ooh and turned out I didn't need to go for a week without internet. We got free wireless at the hotel :) Except I had to use Jonathan's laptop so I only got less than an hour :( Being in Cairns really shows just how cold Melbourne is. When we got back it was four degrees. FOUR DEGREES. So my heaters been on ever since :P Probs not very good for the environment.

I saw Mamma Mia today with Glenny ppl. A pretty good movie but it's still weird how they randomly burst out singing and dancing. I love those old ABBA songs though and it was good to catch up with the Glennies.

Cbb putting pictures up :)

Love, Julia
