Brissi Apt....for now

Here is just a quick glimpse of where Im staying at the moment, people call it Posh Packing, haha its pretty cool here in Brissi, I do admit, Im ready to get on the road again!!

Much Needed Update and Possible Future Plans

Well....well....haha after leaving NZ cause of the unfavorable weathe conditions, I made it back to Cairns where it was really nice, I mean its the only place around here were its winter and you can still be wearing boardies and sandles, gotta love the atmosphere I felt like I was on holiday the whole time I was there, but yeah looking for work was not that easy, so after staying a week, I decided to head down to Brissi with a friend I met in Cairns in pursuit of work.....which turned out to be a flop, haha, guess thats how the cookie crumbles. Well currently we are sharing a room in a 2 bed 2 bath flat with 2 other Irish guys, its a really nice flat and we are in a good location, pretty close to everything important, transportation/food and a bottle shop (liquor store) haha. Yeah I currently have a job with a telemarketing position and it seems alright with plenty of possibilities, so yeah Ill be here for a couple of months or so to hopefully recharge the bank account then off to the next adventures!! Brissi is nice there really isnt anything great to see here other then the lagoon which is like everyother lagoon, but its a cool city and have met some great people and met up with my friend Paul who I met in Fiji!!

Possible future plans as of now, I say it like that cause if you know me, there is no such thing as possible future plans, haha but yeah I plan on being here for 3-5 months then heading up to Cairns to hang with friends and do a couple day trips from there, possibly doing agriculture work so I can extend my visa for Aussie for another year, then plan on spending the majority of the summer in Sydney, working and playing, then hopefully Ill have enough money to head to NZ for 1.5 months to travel the north and south island, then from there to Tazzie for a month or so, then plan on heading to Perth to work for a bit then the last few months of my visa to travel from Perth to Darwin, up the west coast, then from Darwin its off to Bali and the rest of the world!! We will see, there is plenty of time between now and then so there is a bunch that can happen from now, but that is the current plans, if I do any crazy daytrips or something remotely exciting Ill definately post it here but other then that its time to lock it up and get busy!! If I dont have your e-mail please e-mail me and Ill put you in my addy book (anthonycicc@yahoo.com) then Ill send off an e-mail with updates to the blog!!

Cheers

Goodbye NZ Hello WARM WEATHER

Well after spending some time and enjoying it in Christchurch and mainly Queenstown, I came with the decision that I DONT LIKE COLD WEATHER, haha so yeah I applied for my working holiday for OZ and currently in Cairns where I plan on looking for work and settling down for a bit to recharge the bank account and give the CC a break, haha!! I do plan on doing NZ again though and doing it right, like glacier walks, and all that good stuff but I plan on going out there during the summer where its not as cold!! but here are some pics of where I was staying in Queenstown and the view that I had from anywhere I looked out!!





Here was pretty much the only good thing to see in Christchurch, it was the main square!!

New Zealand April 26

After leaving Surfers and headin to Brisbane to meet with friends and party for the last time in Aussie before I head to NZ. There really wasnt much to see in Brissi and even in Christchurch so unfortunately I didnt get any greally nice pics from there but, after meeting with Pierre (French guy I met in OZ who I traveled with for a month) I bummed a ride with someone at the hostel down towards Queenstown where I plan on settling down for a bit and getting a job.

On the way down, we stopped and camped at a lake, I cant remember what the name is right now but it was really nice........COLD........but really nice, haha, here is a pic of what our view was in the morning!!!



We stopped at a couple other lakes where the water was a nice torquise color, unfortunately the picture isnt as nice as being there. There were so many beautiful sights to see on the way down and there were mountains everywhere with snow slowly creaping down towards the valleys. What was really funny is that we got all kinds of weather, ex. sun, clouds, wind, rain, snow, hail and even nothing at all!!





What was really nice was seeing the trees and all the different colors, reminded me of living in South Carolina again.

Off to Queenstown for work and fun in the snow!!

Byron Bay to Surfers Paradise April 15 - 24

Leaving Noosa, Mikey and I headed to Byron Bay to check it out there and unfortunately the whole time we were there, it was horrible weather and a bit cold......except for the day I was leaving, typical right, but yeah didnt get any good pics of Byron Bay because of the weather, but do have to admit, great parties there!!

Surfers Paradise was really cool, because I liked how there was the beach and the city with tall buildings right next to eachother. The day I arrived there was a surfing competition with some famous surfers, like Taj Burrow and they were doing a big air contest. It was nice to leave Byron becasue it was really good weather there in Surfers and also met up with Team Switzerland from Fraser Island!!





Currently in Brisbane, heading to NZ on Sat...........leaving the fun in the sun for a good time in the snow......hopefully some snow boarding, oh yeah and that 4 letter word I dont like doing WORK!!!!
