Its been a while but we have been very busy! The four nights in Noosa were brilliant, we just chilled out at the beach or by the river. I also went on the least successful fishing trip ever. I caught no fish and then the box of hooks and weights got blown into the river, great. The next stop was Rainbow Beach for the trasfer over to Fraser Island. It is a bit of a non event really and the hostel kitchen was rank so not much to write home about really ( i realise the irony of that). Fraser Island [View Full Entry]

I just ran out of time on the internet but it still works so thought i'd use it to do another travel blog!! I know what you are wondering, did we go to cheeky monekys? Unfortunately our hostel had no real atmosphere and no one went out so we saved ourselves for the following night in surfers paradise. We arrived at surfers and the weather was pretty miserable so the beach was a no go so we just had a walk around and then chilled out in the hostel which was actually pretty nice. The night out was pretty funny. We [View Full Entry]

We left New Zealand at about 4am and there was snow on the cars. 3 hours later we get to Sydney and it is boiling! It didn't help we were wearing all our warmest clothes but was a nice change! Sydney was brilliant, definately one of the higlights so far. We first got a tour from Grahame which was great to get our bearings. We then went over to our room at Manly Lodge hotel which was just slightly nicer than a hostel!! To top it off we then had a lovely home cooked meal from Noreen which went down very [View Full Entry]

We are at the end of our third stop now and it's starting to go a bit too quickly for my liking! We started off in Aukland for two nights which was surprisingly good. The hostel room was the size of a double bed but we were barely in it so it didn't bother us too much. The first day we sorted out the rental car and ferry in the morning and then went into town for the afternoon. The best bits were the sale at the caterbury shop and bar minus 5, which is a bar made completely of ice! [View Full Entry]

Hey all, sorry it's been a while but we didn have internet for most of our time in Fiji. Right where to start......... The first day in Fiji was certainly interesting, we arrived and were greeted but rain and men walking down the side of the roads carrying machetes. Not quite the paradise we envisioned. The hostel didn't exactly perk us up either! So we decided to catch the bus into town (Nadi aka shithole), walking around was fine but we were constantly greeted by cheerful Bulas (Fijian greeting) only to find they wanted to sell us something. The highlight was [View Full Entry]

We are at the end of our time in LA now and Jem has experienced her first hostel! She wasn't a big fan at first but she didn't mind it too much. The first stop was Anaheim and Disneyland which was really nice but very tiring walking round a busy park dodging little (sometimes not so little) kids when our bodies think it is 4am! The motel was pretty nice and very close so had a great time. Next stop was West Hollywood and the Hostel! The entrance looked pretty dire and Jem wanted to go straight to Fiji or another [View Full Entry]

Only a couple of days left before we head off now and everything is almost sorted! The first stop is LA and we will be visiting disneyland on the first day and then moving more central for sightseeing and no doubt some shopping! We will keep this updated as much as we can and add any photos and videos we take during the trip. [View Full Entry]
