我自橫舟向寂寥

Emily from Cairns, Australia

G'day y'all!
 
I'm currently sitting in Cairnes with the sea in my mouth, after scuba-diving with an overly-friendly Napoleon fish. *chased a shark, and would need to add that to my dangerous animals bucket list* Ayers rock was a three-hour hike around (three dusty, hot, mine-craft-like hours), and Kakadu was like a moment cut and paste from the Planet Earth documentaries from the air. Kangaroo tastes like sub-par beef, crocodile tastes like mild white fish from airplane meals. Everything costs an arm and a leg here, and I wish I was a jellyfish. Expect small souvenirs.
 
I don't have much time (internet is ridiculous), but I want to say I miss you all. I love you. Kiss Pepper for me (not all of you, grant). I'll be fine as soon as I cough up all the dust in my mouth. It's time for sand!
 
Lots and lots of love,
Em
