Airlie Beach Tuesday 12th of January we arrived in Airlie beach, we stayed at beachs hostel for 2 nights, spent 2nights on the whitsunday cruise and spent another 2nights in airlie beach. I loved Airlie beach, it had a good atmosphere! It wasnt very big, but it had the essentials, a HUGE lagoon, newsagent, hostels, bars, and mama africas (night club).The lagoon was so big and clean, and the sea was just beside the lagoon, i loved it there! We met loads of people here before and while on the cruise! Whitsundays cruise On the Thursday we went to meet the famous atlantic clipper sailing boat, everyone who I spoke to said we should go on this boat, its a two night and three day trip. It was brilliant!!! Out of the 74 islands, we saw ... read more

We made it to Perth!!! Myself and ste arrived in sunny Australia on the 2nd of December ’09. We got off the plane and it suddenly struck me, I couldn’t believe we were finally in Australia, so FAR away from home!!! Orla and Todd (Orla is ste’s cousin and Todd is her husband) collected us from the airport, we chatted to them for a while and went to bed cause it was a late flight, so when we did wake up the next morning, it was a great feeling to be in Australia! We went for a walk and got our bearings, well ste did i followed him, his sense of direction is un-natural! My first impressions was everything was so big, the roads, the paths, the houses! Everything is big and spacious! Its like theres ... read more

Hello everyone, we're back! I'll update you on koh phangan. This was our favourite place!! We got the boat from koh samui to koh phangan midday, the morning boat was cancelled and there was a reason for this! the weather was really bad and sea was very rough, you know its bad when we can see the rough sea from the shore! The 45minute boat ride was a nightmare. i was sure we were gona end up at the bottom of the sea. The only thing that slightly comforted me was that i had been scubadiving and I saw the bottom of the sea so I knew what was down there! The crew gave out sick bags and I made good use of them! It was the worse boat ride of my life, even ste will ... read more

Hello!!! Sorry about the really long delay, we didnt have the internet for a while!!But we're back in action. Railay is located just beside krabi, we heard it was a nice relaxed town so decided to see for ourselves! It started on the 17th of November we got the boat to railay from phi phi island. The boat was terrible as we were traveling through a storm!! ive never seen rain like it and just our luck we were in the middle of the sea (I didnt realise at the time it wasnt the worse boat trip id experience!). So when we arrived we went out to the deck to get our rucksacks which they all bundle on top of eachother, then we moved to a small wooden (long tail) boat. This was all in the ... read more

Hello everyone, Auds here! This is just a short note, havnt much time left on the internet! We are having an amazing time! so much so we decided to stay 2extra nights here in Phi Phi. We arrived to Phi Phi on Monday the 9th, we got a boat over from phuket! thank god we were 45minutes early for the boat cause the people just pile on! It was a 2hour trip over to this lovely island. We had booked a hotel over the phone a few days previous (we do this before we arrive at our next destination, we're not that good that we can just land somewere with nowere to stay...well not yet!) So we arrived on the island with a million other backpackers and the hotel we booked didnt have any record of ... read more

Well hello there. This is actually Stephen doing this entry so it should be way better than Auds one. Well after our Bangkok time we had a choice to make on whether to take an hour flight from Bangkok to Phuket or whether to take the overnight train and then a 6 hour bus journey. Any guesses on which route we took? !!!!!!. Off the plane and then a limo taxi (they were the only ones you could get) down to Patong Beach where our hotel / hostel was. Bit dodgy to find even for the limo driver but got here and an English lad owns it so he was sound and the place is spotless and nice and central but at the same time no crazy noise or mad shit. We arrived on Fri night ... read more
