Now where did I leave off? I know I have become such a space cadet because nothing matters anymore - there is no such thing as time, you live by the sun. If you don't like one place, you leave and you move on to the next one.
I will fill you in on MINIMAL details of the weekend before I left. If you notice I have been quite preoccupied in the past few days. What is today anyway....? So I spent a lot of time with a certain individual that we decided to call Sam. Sam and I hit it off and in perfect conjunction with the Universe, I flew off to Cairns last night. If anyone wants the juicy details, you will have to e-mail me because they are unbloggable.... ;-)
We arrived into Cairns at about 1 AM and went to the only open hostel which was really big, really expensive and the snooty German in his mid-20's didn't seem to be interested in helping us. He did provide us with info regarding jobs though. Dovi and I want to go up about 200 miles from Cairns to find a farm to work at. But I digress....this morning we quickly bounced out of there because there didn't seem to be such cool backpackers there anyway. Thank G-d we did because we stumbled across this amazing hostel right on the beach which YOUNG people and a much more chillin vibe.
The beach in Cairns City is actually a Lagoon. I haven't asked about it yet but it seems as if when it's low tide there is no water for about a miles out - it's like marshy almost. If anyway saw the Tsunami movie, it looks exactly like how Thailand looked right before the huge wave crashed. But it's cool because this evening, the high tide came in and there is a beach!
Dovi and I decided to explore today. We wandered around, spoke to some locals (Aborigians, the original Native Australians) and got on a bus to head to "the most beautiful beach in Cairns". Palm Cove was a tiny little town with resort hotels and a clean beach....the water was too cold so we ended up just chilling and then (YAY!) Dovi and started doing Yoga on the beach for the amused and reserved Australians....
This feeling of freedom is more than anything I've ever experienced. Dovi and I were trying to define it...it's not quite bliss but it's this surreal otherlife type of feeling. We have nowhere to be, no responsibility except to feed ourselves and provide ourselves with shelter (and carry our lives on our backs). I do feel myself changing. Even back in Melbourne, my mind is constantly opening and my heart is just becoming more and more filled with love for people.
You meet new people, you add a new perspective to that little brain of yours. What would have happened to my mind had I stayed in one place for to much time????
Of course, that is not an option for me. When you live in a world with so much opportunity and so much freedom, I cannot help but take advantage.
Now it's dinner time and hostel guests get a free dinner at the bar when you buy a drink.
I told you everything is backwards here!
