Eventually we make it to good old BA and get settled into our lively hostel in the centre of town, with warnings galore ringing in our ears!! You´ll never guess who we bump into in our hostel - none other than Mr Sickie Ozzie - though apparently he doesn´t recognise us, must have been the drunken haze!!! We venture outdoors in search of food and come face to face with a full on demo - practically outside our hostel door!!! As if we weren´t scared enough already, when you´re confronted with a full on demo, with a line of masked guys [View Full Entry]

I´m afraid to say we nearly did start our adventures in Argentina crying!!! We got to the airport in Santiago, check in was fine. Suddenly we noticed a large number of Chilean men in suits, looked like we were about to share our flight with the Chilean marines, so Michelle started sussing out potential husbands for us!! We get breeze through immigration and arrive at our gate nice and early. It soon becomes apparent that our flight is delayed and then we hear an announcement about our delayed flight - we can translate the numbers they use, unfortunately we can´t [View Full Entry]

So another country has come and gone and we have to move on! Though this time we´ll be quite glad to leave the cold behind and head to warmer climates!! Though i´m not sure i´ll be glad to leave behind the 1 pound bottles of wine!! Points to Note Statues Santiago or rather Chila as a whole can be characterised by its many statues and museums! To take a photo of every single statue would mean that my 1gb memory card would be full - so it just didn´t happen! There ar literally statues on every avenue as you head down [View Full Entry]

After an eventful nights sleep - one of the Ozzie lads came in drunk last night and puked over his bed, then went on a walkabout round the room leaving us all in fear that he was going to use someone elses bed as a toilet, but luckily his friend kicked him out before he had chance! - we are up bright and early on a mini bus on our lake district adventure. Start the day off with birthday celebrations for our driver Sergio and pick up four other Irish girls from another hostel. Nico our guide is loving our 8 [View Full Entry]

Having been in Santiago over a week we decide to go off on a little adventure and get a rather nice 3 hour Tur bus to the coastal town of Valparaiso. We have a mini mission from the bus station and still can´t find our hostel - so where do we go for directions, the local gun shop of course!!! Eventually find our hostel up one of the many steep hill roads and are greeted by Tim - a cool guy from America who works there! He points us in the direction of food and off we go! After a rather [View Full Entry]

Got our flight to New Zealand at 11,i proceeded to fall asleep as we took off! Got off at New Zealand for an hour then got back on the plane and had to wait [View Full Entry]

So our adventure down under has come to an end and it is with sadness and gladness that we say goodbye to our aussie counterparts. It will surprise you all that i am actually glad to bid farewell to the once beloved goon - yes thats right, the goon belly had begun to take over my entire person!! I shall always look back on it with fond memories however!! Sad to leave behind all the new and old friend we had made but glad to be leaving Australia - it was beginning to bore us just a little bit. So i [View Full Entry]

Greyhound ride over and we're back in Sydney - city of everything or so it seems! We get picked up by my lovely friend Emily and head back to her digs in Lane Cove, over the Harbour Bridge with a view of the Opera House at night, magical! Anyway her digs have now become our home for the next week, don't think she quite realised what she was letting herself in for!! What a host she was though, for back at her pad she had a roast waiting for us in the oven - now thats what i call 5* (hope [View Full Entry]

Yet another overnight greyhound later and we're in Melbourne, yes home to Neighbours - but did you know that apparently over here Home and Away has the higher ratings - despicable!! Anyways we arrive in Melbourne coach station only to find that there is no free pick up to our hostel - we're just told to catch a number 96 tram to St Kilda and thats it - how helpful is that! So we manage to find the tram stop we need and hop on to the first number 96 and away we go! However, this tram ride was not smooth [View Full Entry]

We bid farewell to Byron and another overnight coach later and we are in Sydney - just a quick stopver here to break up the journey down to Melbourne. We get to our hostel and all we want is a proper bed, however no one has checked out of our room yet - muppets, so we have to wait and wait and wait. Eventually 4 hours later we get back to the hostel, after walking the streets of Sydney only to find that only one person has checked out of our dorm - so there aren't even enough beds for us, [View Full Entry]
