if there's one thing you should do in australia...

it's the uncle brain tour in cairns. one day of being a kid again. seriously. you play in waterfalls, see the rainforest, eat lots of chocolate, get fed home made meals, play games on the bus, sing at the top of your lungs, and SOO SOO much more. one of the best things i've done here in Oz. our tour guide (cousin paul) was absolutely hilarious, joking around the WHOLE time. i swear i almost got a six pack from laughing so much on this trip (covered by a nice layer of cushiony goodness, of course). we rode gus the bus who had an awesome personality (and a girlfriend..a hot milk truck named volvina, and an ambulance (vanessa) lusting after him...who sends him love letters), and even got to see wild platypus...oh, and did wine tasting (not a fan of chocolate wine...). jumped off a cliff into beautiful water, swam through waterfalls....it was wonderful. then, went out afterwards with the people from my group and had a great time at the bar. awesome day. time to leave cairns though, i'm starting to know too many people here, i've been here too long...off to magnetic island tomorrow!
