Sunshine Coast Australia! They don’t call it sunshine coast for no reason.. Its always sunny here.. and bluest of blue skies!!! First stop Mooloolaba- We didn’t really plan to go here initially but the guy in peter pan travel told us that if we book into the hostel here than we can get 2 nights accommodation and entry to Australia Zoo for $99...Zoo entry alone is normally $70, so it’s a good deal. So an hour north of Brisbane.. And we get off, the hostel is so nice. There is an English girl working behind the the desk and is very helpful. There is free body boards, surfboards, kayaks, pool, tennis and free brekkie every morning- You cant go wrong really… It’s a really seaside town absolutely gorgeous. I have already fallen in love with the ... read more

Melbourne 1st of May 2010-10th of May 2010 Left Red cliffs on Friday night the 30th of April never so happy to be leaving somewhere as I was to leave the hostel. We finished up work today for our boss Carlo, who was really nice and we sorted him out with two other backpackers to fill our places. We packed up our stuff booked accommodation in Melbourne and headed for the 10pm bus. It was a 9 & ½ hour bus journey.  Jumped on the bus and there was a old drunk man sitting in our seat numbers, we told him that 43&44 were our seat numbers he refused so got the bus driver down and he asked for his ticket. He handed it over and apparently he was seat 41... so annoying he had ... read more

Fruit Picking in Australia.. So a lot of people will tell you there best time in Australia was fruit picking in the outback. Well I guess everyone’s experience is different! When Josie Claire and I arrived in “the outback” our little village called Redcliffs freaked us out completely...Coming from the HUGE city of Sydney and living in the famous Kings Cross the suburb that never sleeps everything open 24 hours a day...we were let’s say definitely shell shocked. Our new home for the next 3 months was two streets in total. One of which had more than 5-6 shops that were shut down. “Red cliffs” named after the red cliffs that line the murray river which borders the two states of Victoria & New South Wales. For those of you who know me this village ... read more

Los Angeles July 10th-13th We only booked 3 nights in LA because of all the bad reviews we heard from people, we didn’t want to waist our time there if it was horrible! We got the greyhound bus from santa fe station in san diego to the LA station. It took 2 and half hours. There were alot of weird people on the bus, I just kept my sunglasses on and went to sleep! Arrived at the station at 8pm. It was dark and we were in downtown LA. SCARY!! There were homeless people, bums and rough people everywhere. We crossed the street to get the bus 33 to venice beach. Two Mexican rough looking men came over to us shouting “white girls white girls, u need taxi?” U know where u going etc... We just ... read more

Las Vegas BABY!!!!!!!! 22nd-27th June 2009-06-29 Monday 22nd We left Miami at about 4:15pm to go to the airport. Nick, who we had made friends with in the hostel brought us to Miami airport instead of us having to get 3 buses to get there and then the tri-rail(train) to fort Lauderdale airport to fly out! It only took about 15minutes to get there, we said our good-byes and off we trotted to find our train. 5:10pm tri rail came we hopped on with our now SERIOUSLY heavy backpacks. Few minutes past and we all realised there was no air conditioning on the train and it was 40 degrees outside, sweat was drippin off everyone. Fort Lauderdale is about 7 stops from Miami...we were 2 stops away when the driver came on over speaker saying there ... read more
