travels with Steph, and camera mishaps

Sorry it has been so long since I have updateed alot has been going on and alot has happened!!! :) Last week me and my Steph went to the strand (the Townsville beach) and soaked up some awesome rays and grabbed coffee and shopped. we were so over Caf. food that we decided it would be loads of fun to go out to dinner on the ocean se we found a place called Jamacia Joe's and ordered ourselves some very fancy drinks and talked and talked and talked and ordered amazingly delish pizza, all while overlooking the ocean! We were taking a whole bunch of pictures and I placed my camera down on the edge of the table to take a sip of my drink...well as I pulled my drink closer to me I wacked my camera, which was sent hurtling over the edge of the table and under the deck we were sitting on! I had no idea what to do and did not want to lose all of my pictures from the day! At this point the couple sitting next to us asked what happened and was trying to help us look for it. I went around the deck of the restaurant to the other side and looked inside the dark deep rock cave in which my camera fell into and just thought, well its gone! The guy from the table next to ours was telling me how I really shouldn't stick my hand in there because there were snakes that live in there. Once they bite you, you don't even make it to the hospital, so I was like oh well, awesome! Apparently there was also feral cats that lived in there too. so im poking around this hole with a dead palm leaf trying to see anything at all, and I spot a coke bottle not too far down laying horizontaly on a rock ledge facing a pit of complete probally snake infested darkness, and what do I think I see, the strap of my camera hanging oh so perfectly on the edge of the bottle opening. Now, at this point we have attracted the attention of the entire resturant and a waitress who is now looking in the deep abyss with me and the Australian bloke. I kept saying I think thats the strap of my camera on the end of that bottle! I really think thats' it so all of a sudden she reaches in and rips the bottle out and sure enough, there hanging from the tip of the bottle was my camera! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!!! turned out to be a great night with delicious food and a feral cat as company! :)
cheers
