As soon as I got off the plane, I was glad I had decided to come to Cairns. A balmy 27 degrees with a light breeze, it is a lovely change from the creeping autumn that is hitting Sydney. As usual I didn't book a room ahead of time, but stopped at a hostel recommended by my airport shuttle driver. $20 later and I have a four-person dorm room with a view of the ocean and only one roommate. I will sleep here for 3 days while I do the land-based parts of my scuba diving course (classroom and pool stuff) and then on Monday I am off to the outer reef for a couple days to do some serious diving. This time last year I was in Sudbury doing a geology workshop, and now I am diving the Great Barrier Reef- it's funny where you end up sometimes, isn't it? Now to ditch the socks and go for a swim!
