after having an extreamly large night before catching the flight, im a complete wreck on the 1 1/2 hour journey, the little girl next to me was even laughing! Everytime the plane turned i thought the plane was going to crash, so my rule now is to take it easy before every flight........ I got to sydney not feeling good at all. I checked into my hostel, which was run by the same company as the one from Melbrn. But the place was gloomy and didnt have its own bar. I got in to my room and me one of the fellas in my dorm. Some twat from Sheffield. didnt do anything wrong to me personaly but i just got the vibe that the bloke was a bit stuck up his rear end. I went for ... read more

The following morning our road trip began. We got the hire car delivered, but nick felt a CD was needed to entertain us all, his selection was a double CD called Australia v England, full of cheesey tracks to lighten the mood. We were heading to a place called Coles Bay on the east coast of Tasmania. At that moment it started to play on my mind what id let myself in for. Id left glorious sunshine for constant rain and drizzle, when we finaly got to Coles Bay the weather was even worse. We were staying in a large wooden lodge which looked across the bay.......apparently the scenery and the view was supposed to be amazing, but all i could see was mist and maybee the odd fishing boat. So the rest of the day ... read more

The second day was slightly more relaxed as we were due to fly out to Tasmania later that evening, we hit the beach in a town called manly whitch is in one of the outer suburbs of Sydney. The place seemed really chilled out and the beach was a great place, with quite a bit of surfing going on. After cooking myself for a few hours we headed to a steak house for steak (suprisingly!) and chips and beer.....appy days. We dashed back to the apartment for a quick change of clothes then off to the airport and met up with the rest of the guys. In the group was Nicks mate steve whose apartment we'd been crashing at, Suzie and her fella Jimmy. Again the customs a security people took a shine to me, this ... read more

After the most sole destroying journey i have ever made, i finaly arrived in Sydney. 22 hours on a plane with 2 screaming babies for company meant the was no chance of me getting any sleep, so i cracked on with the free wine and the awsome spicey pretzsals, and hit the movies. Apart from the shit flight everything else seemed to ru n smothly, bag turned up etc. As i collected my bag from the luggage belt i finaly realised that after months of planning, i was finaly here, so with a grin on my face a made my way to the exit to meet nick,.....why did i bother! 2 seconds away from the exit, i was stopped by an aussie female shot putter of a Customs officer. who the proceded to question me for ... read more
