On our travels we have met so many fantastic people - some travellers like ourselves away from home for some time others taking just a few days break. We met Adis and Suze in Tasmania, not in one hostel, but 3 in total! They were from Melbourne enjoying some walking over a long weekend. After parting, we went on to spend some time in their home city and they tracked us down to our hostel and invited us to join them for breakfast - we met at 7.15 in the morning along with the breakfast society of Melbourne and enjoyed freshly baked bread and pastries, eggs done whatever way you fancied and frothy coffee which could have been flat white, cuppaccino or latte (they all taste the same to me) at a packed out cafe. ... read more

We met Linda in India whilst on our Tibetan Massage Course and she had kindly offered us her place to stay for a few days, thus avoiding the extortionate prices and often unfriendly atmosphere of a city backpackers.

So the car thing didn't work out. Instead we decided it was best to head down to Sydney. We took the bus half way to Port Macquire where we spent two days relaxing. The weather wasnt all to good to us, it rained a lot while we were there with bits of sunshine in between. Anyway we had a nice time there, visited the Coala hospital, rainforest, rented bikes (which began with Steinthor, who was by the way to excited, falling off the bike and hurting himself-end then the tire blew like on the other side of town) and strolled around the beach. Now we're in Sydney and we love it. We are staying at Camillas parents, she's now in India, and they are so nice. We feel quite at home. Yesterday we went to the ... read more
