I got a job!!

So, I have been in Airlie for nearly two weeks. Em and I have walked the streets up and down a houndred times.. That's what it feels like anyway.. Looking for work, asked around everywhere, even McDonalds! Noone can say that I didn't try!
Finally we got a job at the resort where we stay. We're supposed to clean rooms for food and accomodation, pluss a few dollars a week. Not great, but not bad either. We start tomorrow.
It's 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and we start at 9. I can live with that..

At least money will not only go out of my account, but finally in as well! I need to save up a bit before we continue north. There's still Magnetic island, Cape Tribulation (Great Barrier Reef meets the Rainforest), diving and much more to explore! Hehe..

Have to mention that I'm officially addicted to Nando's chicken. And Dad, you'd be proud of me, I love corn on a cob!!! I'd eat corn every day if I could.. With butter, salt and pepper.. Mmmmm...

And I should also thank Em for looking after me.. She's banned me from touching animals.. And other stuff that live in the wild.. A few days ago we were out clubbing.. I have to admit that I had consumed a few jugs of cider at this point.. I went to the bus stop to say goodbyu to a friend who was leaving. To get there you have to cross through a small park. And so I did, and I saw this cuddly little animal crawl up a tree.. I thought it looked like the racoon from Pocahontas,Miko, and thought I'd go over and pet him.. (I might have been spending too much time socialising with wild animals in parks...) Well, anyway, he sat at the bottom of the tree and kinda waited for me to come over, so I bent down and pettet him. Not a good idea.. He grabbed my arm and bit me!!!! How rude! Later I found out that it wasn't the racoon from Pocahontas, but an Australian possum... Therefore, I am not allowed to touch.. And lucky she did say that, cause the other day while I was brushing my teeth, I saw a lizzard or a gekko or something on the wall and nearly tried to pet that too, but remembered Em's words.. Luckily.. I don't think it could harm me, but evidently I could've harmed it... Ops..

There is a huge lizzard (guana, I think it's called) right where we live. It's 1 1/2 meter long and very ugly. I came out of my room the other day, and there it was, just two metres away from me. They're not even scared! So I feel that I live in the bush..

Well. Enough talk of animals. Just a little more.. I have sent a picture of me and Lizzie (my horse from coyboy school) to Kaare and Dorothy with a postcard telling them what I've been doing lately. I have also sent pictures to my grandparents. So they can see for themselves that I'm still alive and doing fine, hehe..

That's it for now. I'll be back when I have more stories to tell...

Hugs!!!
