Last time Paul and I spent two weeks in Australia in 2004 we were able to do Fraiser Island and Byron Bay with our other American study abroad friends...
On that trip we both wanted to take a trip to the whitsunday islands and up to Cairns. Well my friends! This is going to be THAT trip. This morning Paul and I headed over to the local backpackers travel agency and spent three hours mapping our our next three weeks of travel. Here is the rough itinerary:
- Sunday, Jan 9th - fly to Townsville, Australia - take a bus from Townsville to Airlie Beach (approx 4 hours)
- Head out on Monday, Jan 10th on a sailboat for a two day / two night sailing cruise to dive and snorkel the magnetic islands
- On Thursday, Jan 13th we take a greyhound bus from Airlie Beach back up to townsville to our next hostel on Magnetic island. We stay there until Sunday the 16th.
- Head up on Sunday the 16th to Cairns. Dive in Cairns on the 17th on a boat cruise to the great barrier reef and then take off on the 18th to Auckland NZ!!
- In NZ we have booked a Jucy Rental and will have the van for 14 days! We'll be driving around the north & south island before we fly back to Australia (melbourne) on Feb 2nd. Check out this SICK RIDE!!
The next few weeks are going to fly by but I have to admit this is exactly the type of travel schedule I've been looking forward to.
