Ola Chequos,

Met some spainish folk and starting asking them how to say the basics in the lingo as perp for S america!! Going to have to do a course as it's rough without some language skills!!

Anyway am now in Magnetic Island and it is stupidly hot! I know that none of yous want to hear this but even the mad dogs and english have retreated to the shade. Had a big night on the strawberry daqueries last night (random i know) and went on a trek this morning to the hilltop and spotted some koala's and 2 wedge tailed eagles in the wild. Off at bastardo o'clock tomorrow to dive the yongala which is meant to be in the top 5 wreck dives in the world...we shall see. Wasn't that impressed with the diving in cairns but hope to be pleasantly suprised!!

Most of you all will have been here before so won't drone on but it's good craic and there are loads of cool people here. Don't feel the oldest on the block anymore :))

Laters,

Mex
