Every Snake Here is Poisonous


Hello everyone we made our trip from the Hunter Valley to the Crystal waters. It was quite a long trip. We had to drive from the Hunter back to Sydney to get to the airport. I’ve realized the Australians are quite nicer than the Americans cause at the airport when we were checking in our baggage most of us were over the 23 KG weight limit and let it fly by and didn’t charge us an extra fee. I was just over by a little bit. Stena was over by about 2 Kilos and they let it go, and on top of that her carry on bag that she was going to carry on was considered a little too big by the lady who checked us in, so she let Stena check it in for FREE!!! That was awesome of her. Well anyways we went onto boarding our flight and took off to Brisbane. Our fight was a little more than an hour. Once we landed we went onto the charter bus that took us to the Crystal Waters. That ride was about 2 hours since we had a bus full of 14 people, tons of luggage, and going uphill mostly the entire time. Finally we made to our destination when we were greeted by our leader Max, who runs the place. He gave a short introduction and let us get settled in until dinner. One of the more important things that Max told us in the introduction was that our area was full of spiders and snakes. The spiders weren’t poisonous but EVERY snake was. AHHH! With my wonderful luck I happen to run into a snake on my way to the dinner house. If it weren’t for Corrin spotting it, I would have probably stepped on it and got bit. I still almost shit myself.
