I've successfully made it here!! Hopefully this post turns out just as well. We arrived here about 4hours ago (6:45am my time) and we are waiting for our flight to Townsville where our course will begin!
The sunrise upon arrival was extraordinary! It looked like a unarched rainbow. It contained all the ROYGBIV colors and I simply could not capture it on camera. My body clock is pretty screwed right now to say the least. Hopefully we can all adapt quickly. Everyone on the trip is super fun and bubbly and so enthusiastic to be a part of this grand adventure! (though I can't say that applies now as everyone is zonked out on the couches)
When we arrived, we got our passports stamped which is something we all were looking forward to. And may I add, Australian accents out the wazoo! I'm in heaven. We also had our bags sniffed by some very adorable dogs. So I was adoring the cute dogs while waiting in line and a woman yells at me, "Come on, wake up! move along!" Get yelled at by an Aussie: check. Generally I would have been slightly displeased by this, but not this time because, you guessed it, of the beautiful Australian accent. I think I found my weakness. I just want them all to never stop talking.
I can't believe I'm actually here! It's been a longg journey so far, but I'm loving every minute of it! :) Random occurrence of the day - first song I heard in the airport: Love Story. Australians love them some Tay-Tay.
