Hey,
Im doing the Beaches and Reefs (Cairns - Sydney) with Sailing on November 17th - 30th
Anyone else doing it?

Hi! I am doing the Beaches and Reefs without the sailing option, but I’m guessing we’ll be in the same group anyway! I am looking forward to going to Australia.. I’m so excited!!!!

Rubbish weather in the UK? No way!!! I love England so much… especially Cornwall!
I don’t know why.. it must be the queen, or Kate Middleton, or the beatles.. it’s a magic country.. I’d move there immediately if only I could find a job there ;)I’m arriving in Cairns on the 16th of November, around 12.00 am. Where are you staying in Cairns? In the hotel provided by contiki?

hahaha, yes i think you are romanticing the weather in the UK, its been totally crap, it has rained constantly for the last 4 days. and its constant grey rain…. Cornwall is lovely, i go every year, but this year was a complete wash out, hence needing some sun.. I went to Austria in August and was lovely…
I’ll be in Cairns from the 11th. Im doing a scuba diving course, which finishes on the 16th.
Im staying in the Rydges from the 16th.. Thats the hotel provided by Contiki

This year I couldn’t go on holiday due to huge amount of work.. and also I’ve been saving money for this trip to Australia… it’s an expansive country, isn’t it? I live in the italian speaking part of Switzerland and weather has been crap here as well.. always rainy and cloudy… So I really do need a holiday and of course, I need sun! :)
wow, a scuba diving course, sounds very cool! I envy you su much!
I’m staying in Rydges hotel as well on the 16th, so I’m sure we’ll meet up there! Are you travelling by yourself? It’s my first time in Australia… is it worthy?

Yes it is my first time to OZ… My best friend lives in Sydney so im going to stay with her for a while after the trip. I am travelling on my own, this is the first time ive ever done it, which is kinda scary. What about yourslef?
I loved Austria, would love to go back. Flew in Trieste and hired a car, then drove up to Salzburg. It was amazing, totally fell in love with Austria.

Yes, I’m travelling by myself as well and it is terrifying… I figured out travelling was the best cure for a broken heart. My ex fiancé was an English (precisely Cornish) sailor and we broke up about 1 year ago and I’m starting to feel myself again. So I thought, why not give myself a new fresh start? Travelling, meeting people from all around the world, making new friendships and enjoying life as much as I can, this is what I intend to do.

Hi Nicole,

Hi Ladies …..
I’m also doing the tour in a few weeks time and will be in the Rydes from the 16th, i’m travelling up from Sydney in the morning. Really looking forward to it, but also a little scared, first time travelling alone but very much looking forward to getting away from work and rain. Look forward to meeting you? The pack mentioned a meet up at 5pm the night before so i’m sure we’ll all meet then :-)
Laura
P.S Serious issues now …. Suitcase or backpack! ?

Hey Laura, looks like we’ll be doing the same trip. Am I wrong? You have the one with sailing included, but I think we’ll be travelling together anyway. I’m also travelling solo and I’m no longer scared as I talked to a few people doing the trip and they seem really nice people, I’m sure we’ll all get along very well and we’ll have a lot of fun together. Definately suitcase (a medium one).
