Thanks for the memories, Australia. Hi everyone! Just two nights left in Sydney now and then I'm jetting off to Auckland! I've had an amazing time in Australia, covered most of the East coast and met some brilliant people. The tour with TopDeck was awesome, I'd recommend it to anyone (2 week 'Island Suntanner' tour in reverse Cairns-Sydney). Highlights from my month in Australia include: My first night on South Molle island (5 bottles of 'champagne' and an impromptu swing dancing lesson)... Snorkelling for the first time ever on the Great Barrier Reef... Incredible sushi in Brisbane with Marie and Alan... Lunch on the beach at Surfer's Paradise with Deano... ANZAC Day in Sydney... and lastly, being reunited with Sara and getting so blind drunk that I actually participated in kareoke! I regret not organising a ... read more

I made it!!!! God, the trip was really horrible, but now I'm feeling very chirpy (despite the fact that it's the morning and we ALL know that I'm not a morning person). London ---- Dubai This flight was really good, only 7 hours so not long enough to really feel the cabin fever. Plus I had a great seat at the front of the block of seats, which means loads of leg room. I originally had two free seats next to me (I was on the aisle) but then an elderly woman ran and jumped into the window seat. She was thoroughly excitable, and very nice. She reminded me a lot of Granny (maternal grandmother who sadly passed away 2 years ago). My favourite aspect of her was the way that whenever one of the air ... read more

day 16 i'm not excited. i'm kinda tired. tired of the hustle and bustle. and sydney is the worst place if you feel like this. this is beehive australia. the guys want to go out and explore sydney. i've done this twice before. i need to feel human again. clean. washed. reset. i feel like a killjoy, but i send them out without me. i spend the next few hours to myself. writing, thinking, scrubbing, laundry. its just what the doctor ordered. i finally get to tend to my foot and give it good dressings. in the afternoon, jenny's boyfriend comes home and we meet. he's a typical tradesman (traddie). rough around the edges. except he's quite withdrawn, less friendly and refined than i expected. almost a bogan. but he seems nice enough. After a little ... read more
