SB--BNE-Alice Springs

About 4:45 Abbys alarm went off and we headed to the domestic terminal. We had to take a shuttle over there from the international one which cost us $5 a piece---kind of ridiculous if you ask me.We check in with Qanta and sped through security--I didn't even have to empty my water bottle, take my shoes off or anything. We boarded at 6:40AM. I was feeling terrible--I couldn't keep my head up or sit up. The first flight from BNE to Cairns we were served breakfast---cereal, apple, apricots, milk--but I couldn't eat anything. I felt awful and the plane motion made me feel worse but I held in there. Abby was the best mom to me along the flights---she took extra care of me---letting me lay on her, rubbing my head, back, and getting me sprite to drink.
My stomach was gargling and I kept burping up acid, it was not pleasant. I felt so weak, but I am so grateful for Abby--such a sweetheart!
Take-off and landing were the worst parts when the air pressure got really bad---i really felt like death! We landed in Cairns and had 2 hours until the next flight so I laid down among 5-6 chairs and took a nap. When I woke up, Abby got me some Sprite and I had some of my cereal and took some Ibuprofen. I still felt awful! I started to get the chills now and got really hot and cold continuously. I had one more plane ride though---Luckily I had only Abby next to me so I laid down on this flight as well. I couldn't keep my head up again. The flight attendant gave me some anti-diarrhea mix to out in my water, which was awful. It tasted like salt water but I had to get it down. We were served lunch but I just had a half of Colin's veggie sandwich and didn't feel so good so laid back down. I have never felt this bad before---during landing I had to keep my head between my knees. I was so happy to get off of planes, but couldn't stand up for very long. We got our luggage and then headed off to Annie's Place (our hostel). On the shuttle ride, I saw a lot of red sand, big rock formations
We shared a double room with 2 twin beds so Abby and I slept together. This place was interesting--had bikes hanging from the rafters, a bar attached--which catered a few parties while we were here, and breakfast kitchen area. Our room had our own shower and bathroom and the pool was just outside our door, but I felt awful so I laid down for a nap.
When I woke up, we went for a walk to see the town, other hostel, and the mall. We saw many Aborigine individuals. They were very ape-like in appearance with very skinny legs. There was a huge class difference between them and the white Australian class. The two classes did not communicate or even look at each other. The Aborigines looked very homeless and didn't interact with society. The town was very dirty, lots of ants and bugs.
Colin came across a Dengue Fever card which explained exactly what I had--fever, body aching, and headaches---this said to contact your doctor immediately--this made me nervous! After the walk though my head didn't hurt as much but my stomach was still in a knot. I ate some dinner--veggie wrap from my lunch on the plane, showered, and called it a night. I hope tomorrow I feel better for the big Uluru trip.
