Today marks one week of being on the road with Jeff and Magge on their honeymoon, and I have to say that being the third wheel on this adventure has been amazing so far. The first few days of our travel were marked with too much driving, brown water, and not enough doing stuff as Magge so aptly said. Since then though we've climbed boulders barefoot on top of gorgeous waterfalls, and visited some pretty wonderful rainforests. Sure, I got a little lonely while watching the newlyweds frolick around in multiple waterfalls that looked like they'd been landscaped by Walt Disney himself (shout out to Arvida the maker of Weston and Disneyworld), but I had the Jucy Choppa and nature as my lovers throughout the trip. Daytime nature, I should say. Nighttime nature I hate with a passion. I just cannot relate to people who coo at a possums (not to be confused with Virginia Opossums from the states, these are slightly cuter), and relish at the sound of frogs surrounding your kitchen area. I mean Cane toads can secrete poisonous juice from behind their eyes and KILL you right away. Not shocking since everything in Australia is terrifying. But, as we've said multiple times so far 'This is an adventure' and when we were washing dishes in the pitch darkness of a caravan park's disgusting sink (my germaphobia is being majorly repressed on this trip) it was nice that we could still laugh because as Jeff pointed out 'C'mon. We're in AUSTRALIA!' And he was right. So what if I appreciated eating in the dark and not seeing the millions of bugs drowning in my butter chicken curry. The whole 'more protein' thing has never worked on me but we'll see when I get to Thailand. Anyways, today we are taking a break from living in cars and having me renew my faith in God and praying while sleeping on top of the van in a tall tent during a lightning storm, and taking off on a catamaran through the Whitsundays. Life. is. rough.

Here's a look at the trip so far...
