| 21st March 2006 Suze | Pot Noodle - From: Finding Neverland alex, im not sure whether you've grasped the concept of backpacking, what with eating out all the time. Where is the bitching about crap kitchens/ only being able to afford a pot noodle/ etc. Sort it out! ;) shame about whitsundays - they are stunning, but not something to do with a clyclone brewing above. Have fun in the land down under. learn surfing in Byron!! Keep on having fun, despite the unbelievable arrogance of the ozzies. xx |
| 20th March 2006 Annie | - From: Old Larrys Game It all sounds like a bundle of fun Alex! Didn't I warn you about the Aussies? I never met a single one that wasn't racist - except the Curti ofcourse. Larry must have been a bit hairy. It's even made the news over here so I hope you've kept yourself tucked away safe. Now must be the time to learn surf-boarding, there should be a few waves to be had! |

| 15th March 2006 Andrew | Sharks - From: A Sharks Tale I remember when we dived in Florida we were told not to piddle in the water as it attracts the beasts. Make sure you piddle BEFORE you get in. OH and wiggle your toes as it helps prevent DVT. |
