I feel very, very lazy, and i don't have enough patience to write... to be quick, it's cool to have some nice weather, sun, beach and warm water. sydney was cool, another big city. i am going north to cairns, through byron bay, frasier island, the withsunday islands, magnetic island and great keppel island... the plan is: relaxing on the beaches, s
