I'm living the life of JamesBond. After 
the diving and the rainforests last week 
I went skydiving on Sunday. The freefall
was without doubt the most outrageous 
feeling of my life. Supercool. 

Last Monday I went white-water rafting to 
Tully river (rapids of grade 3 mostly, 
some 4), after that I drunk two Danish 
guys under the table. 

On Tuesday it only got better: I took
a four-day live-aboard dive cruise to
the reefs up north. Diving was absolutely
fabulous:10 dives that were all better than
the very good dives last week. The list
of things I saw is long but here are the
highlights:
- A 2m+ turtle sleeping 
- 150kg+ giant clams
- lion fish and other scorpion fish
- a cuttlefish (perhaps the most amazing 
   creature I have ever seen)
- six 2m reef sharks sleeping together
- 200kg potato cods eating from hands

You may get an idea of the experience

I was honored to have the biggest bar bill
of the people on the cruise.

Tomorrow I'll fly to Tasmania to take part in 
a 10-day rafting expedition on the Franklin river.
