Well, my time in Australia is done. I'm in Thailand right now waiting for my flight to London. It was delayed 2 hours and I just sent Tina an email, which I hope she gets, since I have no other way of contacting her and she's picking me up at the airport.
My last few days in Australia were really nice. I spent them in Brisbane at my dad's cousin's son's house. I only met him once when I was 5, so it was really nice of him to let me stay there. I went to Australia Zoo twice and it was awesome. There were a couple of tributes to Steve Irwin set up which made me cry but other than that it was great. The second day I went was Bindi's birthday. It was horrible and rainy but Bindi, Terri, and Robert were there. Terri did the croc feeding demo, along with Steve's best friend, Wes. I really loved the wombats. They're so cute and cuddly. And of course I loved the crocodiles and snakes. A couple of the snakes were so massive it takes a team of people to lift them. Their colours and patterns are beautiful.
Before coming down to Brisbane, I stayed a few days in Airlie Beach. I think I might have mentioned that already. The crocodile safari was really fun. I saw a ton of estuarine crocodiles (those are the really big guys -- bigger than the Nile crocs) and a lot of birds. I never did get to go diving because of my cold but I went snorkeling. The fish and coral were so amazing. The colours were unbelievable and the water was so clear.
I'm really excited to get to England. I'm going to spend a week with Tina, then she's going to Denmark. Originally, I planned to go with her but I'm going to stay in England longer. I met a bunch of English girls while I was in Africa and they're going to show me around. I can't wait to see them all again, although it will definitely be different without all the dirt and animals.
Bye for now!!
