Hello family and friends!
Yes, It’s been a while since the last article. Not that I didn’t want to write but nothing was worthy of an article these last 3 weeks.
As you know, I stayed a week in Brisbane. Basically, I spent my week walking everyday all around the city center. I spotted some small breweries here and there so I convinced myself to try some of them during the week. I met a new friend Andryan in one of the breweries and the same night I stumbled across two of the Finnish girls I met on my last roadtrip. We ended up having some drinks in a bar and later at two Australian chatting over another drink. Looking back on my week, it was pretty enjoyable, Brisbane is quite laid back for a big city (2 millions people) and it has to be said that the lagoon and his surroundings are pretty amazing.
I flew back to Cairns the 22 of September and since then I’m staying in a backpacker a bit far from the centre but pretty nice for the price. Yes, because I forgot to mentioned that back in Brisbane I stayed in the worst backpacker (the Yellow Submarine) I’ve seen so far. My room was in a rather seedy basement. That said, here in Cairns I’m comfortable. I saw Marion again upon her return from Asia and had a really good time after 1 month without having seen her. During these two weeks I took a sort of exam to get the white card as well. It’s a kind of patent to be able to work in the construction sector.
The good news is that I found a job on Friday and I’m starting on Monday. It’s a construction job in a farm about 80kms from Cairns. I’ll move tomorrow in Tolga a nearby town and gonna stay some time in another backpacker. And the bad news is… well… there isn’t any actually. Isn’t life wonderful? 🙂
See you, take care!
