1) F
OE!  Usually Canadians aren’t tool bags but this one was.  He was really from Italy though so I’m not sure if Canada would actually claim responsibility for him.  He was getting his open water scuba diving certification also and was really obnoxious for the few days I interacted with him.  I watched him get turned down by every girl in the 8 block radius of Cairns, Australia.  That made it all worthwhile.

2) FRIEND!  This Latvian young lady, Linda, was in my hostel in Cairns and my party-mate for the evening. We had tons of fun dancing up a storm!

3) FRIEND!  Benny taught me everything I needed to know about scuba diving in 4 days at Deep Sear Divers Den.  He was wicked cool!  He was originally from England but pretty much follows the good weather and good diving around the world.  He’s also been known to follow any path that leads to a good pub.

4) FRIEND!  Lena is my new German traveling buddy!  She was in my hostel in Cairns and we decided to travel down the coast together.  She looks like my sister-in-law Eliza and is just as much fun too!  Lena is on holiday after getting her law degree in Germany so I know I’m in good hands.  She’ll keep me out of trouble. 

5) FRIEND!  Reuben Wakefield is the son of my Melbourne host, Lindsay.  He is the bass guitarist in the band Sarah and The King Bees and he even has a twin brother who is just as cute.  In this pic he is enjoying a cappuccino at an Italian restaurant on Lygon St that also had a tendency to pay practical jokes.  Instead of serving him an ordinary cappuccino, they took an empty coffee cup, turned it over, put whipped cream on top and waited 3 mins for him to realize that there was no coffee.  They also surprised me with a fake spider when I received the check and a trick pen that exploded when I tried to sign it.  Funny Aussies!
