After Brisbane i went down to a place called Maroochydore which is one hour north of Brisbane on the sunshine coast. I spent 2 weeks there doing work on a ginger, pineapple and strawberry farm but the work was too on-off and my money was getting lower and lower. The strawberry work was not great, it was planting and we had to work in amongst the sprinklers so you got soaked!!!!
I made quite a poor error of judgement when working on the pineapple farm one day, it was very hot and in the afternoon i decided, like most, to take my shirt off while working, as you can imagine my back got roasted for 3-4 hours and i ended up with severe sunburn for 4/5 days where it was difficult to move my back much or even put on a shirt. although after constant cold showers and applying 'after sun' it got better.
I had little money left and alot of people there, like me, where very low on money and i decided to go to Kuala Lumpur for 3 days before heading home. KL was fantastic, i do prefer southern asia and i did the batu caves, templer park and chinatown, etc........ i did get played once where i spent 7-8 pounds on some 'peace' beads but that happens sometimes, lol
I had a few problems with flights but eventually got back to England the other day and its nice to be home. A shame to cut it a little short but i had a great 5 months and saw/did some great things.
This blog was pretty good and if i travel again i will do something similar, anyway, thanks to everyone reading it and that is that.
Goodbye................................ :)
