Well, my name is Emmy. But most of you will know that already. I have decided to up and leave England for a year. Going off via Shanghai then to sunny Australia for some months. So I though I would keep everyone updated via this blog thingy. I must say this is the first time I have managed to do anthing like this and I am quite proud of myself. And I stole the idea off Jill and Bob!! So here I go, I hope you all enjoy it...

I dont really quite know where to start. I suppose I should start with saying this is really going to be the end of my travels in Australia. I cant believe that I haven't written my blog since Sept. That is seriously slack of me. I think it is also down to a little evil thing called facebook. But I am back now. So, since last Sept, what have I been up to? I think this will have to be a very brief and undetailed run down. After a lot of umming and ahhing when I initially got back from visiting London in Sept I decided I would stay in Aus for the foreseeable future. I was then living very happily with Janet in Rose Bay (very nice part of the world, well that was until ... read more

It has been a while since the last entry. I'm actually trying to strain my brain to remember when the last thimg was that I wrote about. So if I repeat myself, well tough!! I left for my trip back home on14th August. I flew into LAX then got a flight to San Francisco, where the lovely Kristen met me (in a hot Merc convertable!) I only spent 2 days in SF, well actually Kristen lives just outside of SF, near San Jose. We went to Santa Cruz boardwalk, where we made ourselves feel sick on the rides. On the thurs we then embarked on our ever so lucious adventure. Kristen has a friend, who has a friend who owns a $2 million yacht. The only information Kristen gave me is that they were 2 "older" ... read more

Greetings from a cold and wet Sydney. It is certainly not hot here all the time. I am hating the fact I dont have a car, and have seemed to feel constantly damp. In an attempt to do the Aussie traveller thing and chase the sunshine I have just got back form a 2 week holiday. To say it had ups and downs would be a slight understatement. I wont bore you all with the details though. Wil came over to visit me and we set off on a mega tour that I had planned. After firstly introducing him to a few of my friends and getting quite drunk doing the Sunday drinking thing at the Sheaf. We jetted off to Alice Springs on the monday. I misread the ticket and arrived at the airport ... read more

Since my last update I have managed to get about a bit. Not just staying in Sydney and working. About 3 weeks ago me and 4 others went to the Blue Mountains for the weekend. I had the best time. I can seriously say that I haven’t laughed that much in such a long long time. We hired an apartment for the weekend. We stayed in both nights and managed to drink copious amounts of alcohol. In fact, I have to admit that I am now officially part of u-tube. Julie, a mad American chick who was with us, managed to film us without us knowing. The next day we laughed so hard. It is basically me, Janet and Iain dancing around like complete morons, then Julie doing hand puppets halfway through. I will find ... read more

Hello there. Since my last entry I have been to Brunei! For those who dont know where that is (like me), it is Borneo, Malaysia way. I met mum, who was there on work. I had such a brilliant time. We stayed in the most amazing hotel. It was 6 stars, and felt it too. It seemed to me to be made out of pure marble and gold! It had a country club, which they whiz you up to on a golf buggy, which I found pretty fun in itself. That is becuase the grounds are too large to walk it. I spent quite a bit of my spare in there when Mum was at work. Using their gym facilites, and marble indoor lap pool. I had to do some exercise after all the amazing ... read more

Hello all. Not quite such a long wait this time! Not a huge amount to say in this one. Theres only so much you will want to hear about the thrilling time I'm having going to work, coming home from work, being at work. As you can tell all I feel that I'm doing is working. After so many years of doing 12 hour shifts and only working 3 days a week it is a total shock to have to work 5 a week. I know this is what most the population does but I dont like it! I did have my birthday and mange to squeeze in a few nights out though! I went out to a quite swanky bar called Hugos in Kings Cross (which is generally a pretty seedy place) fo rmy ... read more

Hi everyone. Sorry this update has taken so long. I think the problem is that I have just been so busy with sunbathing etc that I havent found the time. No, seriously I have been pretty busy. I'm now into my 4th week of work, cant believe that has gone so quickly too. We'll start at where we left off. After a few days back in Sydney in Jan I got back on the road again and off I went on a coach to Canberra. Many people seemed quite surprised when I said I was going there. It is meant to be one of the dullest places in Australia. But I thought it would be quite rude to come to a country and not go and visit the capital. Also I met someone on my travels ... read more

Well hello again. Since the last time I wrote I have been up to quite a bit. Me and mum flew up to the Whitsunday coast, to a place called Airlie Beach. This was quite a unique place. It was just before new years and the place was full of drunk men. Well I say men but there mean age was probably about 19. I also found out that men out numbered women 6:1!!! It was a very strange sight to see so many guys in one place. Airlie has a man made lagoon as you cant swim in the sea. There were about 3 girls in it and the rest guys. All they seemed to do was drink all day and night and party. This would have been fine except our accommodtion wasn’t that great. ... read more

Hi guys. I'm sorry I've been so rubbish in updating you all. I have had internet troubles, eg lack of. I have been trying to find internet cafes with wireless in Sydney, but believe it or not they are not in abundence. So annoying. Anyway, here I am now. Since our last catch up I have been up to quite a lot. On the 18th I began my travels around Australia. Firstly I went up to Port Macquarie. It is a small seaside town up the east coast. I am very well aquainted with greyhound buses now too. I was meant to stay there 2 nights but it was pretty dull, so I only stayed 1 night. I think I was finding it hard to adjust to small quiet towns when I'm so used to the ... read more

Hello all. Sorry It has been sometime since my last entry. I have been berated and I do apologise! I'm still in Sydney at Janets beautiful flat. She has completely given me a false sense of Sydneys accommodation, I have far too high expectations now. I have been up to the usual tourist stuff. Saw the bridge and the opera house. It is very strange seeing such a famous landmark in the flesh. Although I must say I do think the bridge is a complete monstrosity ( I cant spell that, I know mum). Its not very attractive basically! I have been spending alot of my time at various beaches. Yesterday me and Janet hired a car and went up to the northern beaches. We went to Palm Beach ( where the film Summer Bay apparnently). ... read more
