Katy arrives in Oz...

Hello! And welcome to the tales of our lives out here.

I've finally arrived in Cairns over 40 hours after leaving 3 Castle Hill. I was lucky enough to put my first mark on my 'Neighbours stars that I have seen on this trip' chart, as I shared the flight to Heathrow from Newcastle with a certain JASON DONOVAN. Oh yeah!

Kerry and Lisa did a marvellous job of feeding me with a large amount of pig before I headed off to Singapore, which I am immensely grateful for. The flight to Singapore was pretty good, apart from the aggressive Indian businessman sat next to me. He seemed to be made entirely from very pointy elbows. After that, 5 very dull hours in Singapore airport (not a Neighbours star in sight) and then on to Cairns via Darwin. It was very boring.

I did have an exciting incident in Heathrow which I have so far forgotten to recount. I was walking past Wetherspoons when a very helpful barman shouted out, "Excuse me love, you've dropped something..." I looked around on the floor for the elusive dropped something, only to hear him shout, "...my jaw!" Well, I didn't hear it exactly, and kept grubbing about on the floor looking like a complete arse. Only 5 seconds later did I realise what a prankster he was, and shuffled away looking mighty embarrassed. =)

Now I'm in Cairns with the very lovely Nemo. After a shower, we went a-awandering and sorted out some diving type things. We then found the Esplanade, a big free outdoor swimming pool/lagoon. Very nice.

That's where I've got to so far. Comments always appreciated =)
