Cape Trbulation with a dash of technological rebirth

This past saturday, a few friends and I traveled up a few a hours north of cairns to cape tribulation which is historically significant because it is where Captain Cook had troubles with his ship and had to dock to fix his ship. Other than that, cape trib is known for its beauty because its where the daintree rainforests meets the reef. SO BEAUTIFUL! we went onto the beach to each lunch and the water was completely blue and the reef came right up to the shore. On our way up to the cape trib. we stopped in port douglas to have a look around and we found the most cute chapel that is used primarly for weddings. It was so ideal for a "wedding by the sea" and it had a great view from a little window in front of the alter! I really want to get married in sometype of cute little chapel like this,..though i don't think it would be quite possible to get everyone over to auststralia for the wedding at this particular church... though it would be incredible!

Later that afternoon we went on a "croc hunt" inwhich we rode on a boat going up and down a river bank insearch of crocs. and we actually found several which was really awesome to see them in their natural environment instead of behind a fence...it makes the fact that their presence is actually reality and quite a danger, we were told that a local boy that lived on the river was attacked by a croc in the past few weeks and didn't make it...it kinda made me really sad to hear that stuff really happens.

anyways, after we got back from our long day excursion, we went to a friends 21st bday party, Aussie style. Apparently in australia, 18 is significant due to the drinking age, and the 21st bday is really like a "coming of age" where you have a huge family and friends party...there's speeches and whatnot along with a slideshow of your childhood in pictures, and then the there is the giving of the "house key" which apparently is symbolic of your parents accepting you as an adult and thus giving you a key to the house, eventhough most people don't live at home anymore which was the case for our friend so it was kinda ironic.

Sunday i went to see UP in 3D and it was such a great movie, a little tearful in some spots but overall a very great movie, i deff. recommend it! after the movie i went shopping a little and found some great shoes and some other things that were on sale so it was a great time of retail thereapy as we have coined it.

Monday came too fast once again but i was able to restore my computer back to almost the way it was originally, i didn't loose too much just microsoft 2007 because i took it from someone else and don't actually have the cd to reinstall it....im hoping i can just get it from someone else again so i won't have to buy it, thats one expense id rather not have to deal with while abroad...especially when there are soo many other things that money could go towards.

Nexus tonight was really great, i love have good and deep discussion about important and relevant topics. I'm so glad that God has blessed me with such a great church and youth group here in cairns! He certainly does answer prayers!

I'm going diving this coming saturday so i am extremely excited for that trip, i just have to actually do my work so i don't get behind :)

Thats all for now, more to come later! ~Cheers!
