Well.... I passed my exams!!! WOOP! So chuffed!
I am at Tawali diving resort on the North Coast of Milne Bay at the moment with Kabe, Bolo and George and having such a good time! It is glorious sunshine and we are being waited on hand and foot... such luxury! Arrived yesterday and within an hour we were in the water snorkelling and kayaking.... so many fish... red ones, blue ones, purple ones, yellow ones, black ones, see through ones, stripey ones, spotty ones, long ones, short ones, shy ones, aggressive ones and big eels with teeth! lol! The water was so warm too! Watched a school of young dolphins playing in the bay. Snorkelling again this morning... got a bit burnt:( Kayaked round to a village around the coast and all the children just sat and watched me when I came ashore... ha ha! Lots of beautiful shells as well.
I checked my exam results this morning at 8am as I couldn't wait any longer... what a nice place to find out such good news! Went straight to the bar for a beer! WOOP! Congrats Lots and Naomi ;o)
Heading back to Alotau this afternoon, no doubt to the pouring rain! It seems that Alotau is the only place where it rains! Going to start in O&G tomorrow too. Dr Yaubihi, my supervisor suggested I go out to some of the remote islands for some rural experience so think I will do that next week... will see how it goes. Met a guy at Napatana called Mombi who lives on Normanby Island. He is encouraging eco-tourism in the area as an alternative to Rosewood logging and he said he's be delighted to be my guide so will have to contact him and arrange it.
Well going to go sit on the beach under the palms, have another beer and wallow in the sweet feeling of success! ahhhh!

Dude! I've just been catching up on your blog news! I wondered when you were off to PNG, and it appears you were off this month!! Sounds like it is AMAZING!! When you get back I demand a drink because I want to hear ALL about it! Stewart xx
I really need to stop using so many exclamation marks...
Whoop! Well done you! I can't afford to go diving here, I pretty much live on baguettes as I can't afford anything! Spent a whole week's accommodation money on whale watching. I'm going to email the Koala tours people about Fraser Island for Tues-Thurs of our first week, ok? Does your phone work? Mine doesn't! Oh and what about the last full day for the bridge walk? That's the Thursday? Sorry I know our trip was meant to be more spontaneous!!! Already on my first beer of the week!! Xx
