OK, so again I've been very bad at keeping my blog up to date but I've been moving about so much it's difficult to find the time so I am m0oving into sumary mode if only to get into the next continent!. Anyhow. After I left Nelly and Paul in Melbourne I booked a two day tour of the Great Ocean Road which would drop me off in Adelaide. I think it would be better to generally have another day to see the Great Ocean Road but I was anxious to get to Adelaide to see Elaine as she had to [View Full Entry]

I've got a bit behind with my blog quite obviously as I've been too busy somehow - it's funny because I'm trying to enjoy every place while I'm there but there's always the next place to be reading up about/planning for so it's a fine balance. I am now in Dallas airport where I though I would get my blog completely up to date as have almost 5 hours wait between connecting flights as I was erring on the side of caution in case of any delays, but this did mean getting up at 3.30 this morning after only 4 [View Full Entry]

The last two weeks have been a bit of a whirlind of moving every few days, so not had much time to update this but have done a lot in that space of time so will try and upload a few photos too. ALex very kindly drove me to Hervey Bay, where I stayed in Next Backpackers which was an OK hostel for the night before I left for Fraser Island the next morning.I signed up for the Cool Dingo 3 day tour of Fraser Island and it was fantastic - great tour guide (Hayden, slightly mad I think in the [View Full Entry]

Been in Brisbane since Wednesday morning and done so much in a few days due to my fabulous hosts Janet and Alex. Arrived on Wednesday morning at half seven after very little sleep on my overnight flight due to a screaming child behind me and being excited about arriving in Australia, but after breakfast and a shower was raring to go. We headed North to the Sunshine Coast, shopping at Edmundi markets where I launched into the Aussie dollar by buying several (probably)non essential items such as a sarong for the beach. Then we went to Noosa which I really liked [View Full Entry]

Singapore was interesting - not someplace I chose to go necessarily as it was more of a requirement for the stopover to Oz, but glad I stopped for a few days as it's a different place - such a mixture of different cultures, religions and cultures to create somewhere really unique. I loved staying in little India as it was a cool part of the city. The food is amazing - sampled as much as I could of course, but my appetite is smaller than when at home due to the heat and humidity. Was very odd staying in a hostel [View Full Entry]

Landed today in the rather stifling heat of Singapore - not used to this temperature - my face resembles a a very shiny tomato! But I did have a fabulous dinner for less than 2 quid served in a scooped out pineapple - pity the beer cost more than the food! Will get some snaps taken tomorrow on my first full day sightseeing - off to combat the jet lag with my first sleep in a hostel dorm - I just keep feeling I'm at T in the Park living out my rucksack so far - it'll be a rather long [View Full Entry]
