Rainbow Beach

It was suggested to me that I should have taken a photo of the gentlemen, from my previous post, doing his deed and then had him pay me to delete the photo.

No!

Because I would have had to A) Look at the photo first to confirm my find B) Talk to him and C) Either handle money he had touched or defended myself against him and his greasy knuckles, as he tried to steal my camera.

No, Thanks. I think it ended the best way possible.

In Bundaberg, I was checked into the other hostel by a gentlemen named Phil. Within the 2 minutes it took him to get my details and give me my key, I could tell that Phil is a cool guy but a guy who didnt take any shit. And it wasnt until I checked out yesterday, I had a 15 minute conversation with Phil that I confirmed that.

Its funny, when you travel you meet some people and you dont get along at all and others you can click withing a couple of minutes. Phil and I clicked. I think is because we are just so similar. Except that he is Canadian, extremely muscular, a former pro mixed martial artist, has served prison time, and within the last two months has taken on 5 people in a fight and gotten away with only some bruised ribs.

OK, so we arent similar at all. But we do have a similar story. I quit Freddie Mac to go traveling. He use to be an accountant, but was sent to prison for defending himself against and nearly killing a guy who had a bat and a knife, but was released from prison for good behavior after saving two prison guards during a riot and then went traveling. . . . .

Same thing! I just skipped a step.

Yes, Phil is a real person and yes we are now facebook friends.

Something actually serious. Hey guys, I just wanted to sincerely thank anyone who has been keeping up with blog. Writing is something that has been foreign to me for most of my life. But the feedback that people keep giving me and the comments on the blog are really what gives me the confidence to write and fuels my desire to do so.

So again a sincere 'Thank you' goes out to you guys!

I am now in Rainbow Beach and will be here for 4 days and wont be on the PC till I get into Brisbane. I hope to see you then.
