Yöllä heräsin kauheeseen vesisateeseen. se vähän viilensi ilmaa, joka on aivan sairaan kuuma. nukkuessa ei tarvi kuin lakanan! päivä meni vähän pitkälle ennenku noustiin. Mä heräsin siinä puolen päivän aikaan ja ystävällisesti herätin Minnankin.. ;) meillähän ei lorvita! jääkaappi kun oli tyhjä lähdettiin kauppaan. Noh meni meillä sinne 90 dollaria (1euro= 1,6dollaria) eikä edes muistettu ostaa kaikkee mitä tarvitaan! ajateltiin tehdä makaroonia ja kengurujauhelihaa (mä opetan Minnan heti paikallisille tavoille :P), mutta ei meillä ollu suolaa eikä voita. syötiin siis vaan salattia.. mut se oli ihan tarpeeks tässä kuumudessa. Aurinkorasvaa muistettiin ostaa! ja ruoan jälkeen lähdin hyppyttään Minnaa keskustaan! ;) kateltiin opera-talo ja Sydneyn silta.. ah niin ihanaa olla täällä taas! ja sitten käveltiin melken koko cityn läpi ja käytiin kattoon Darling Harbouria. Sieltä sit kotiuduttii... read more

Kayaking and Harley rides! wahoo! Got up early to do my kayaking down the creek to see thousands of fruit bats. the creek leads down to mangroves and island where the trees are literally overrun with these bats. It smells nasty cos there's so many, The guide thought it would be fun to clap and scare them up so there was thousands of fruit bats flying over us, I mean thousands...sky was absolutely full! was unbelievable! and quite alarming. After the creek we headed out the river to the sea, round a small break water to a little secluded beach, its up a headland and hard to reach by car. there we stopped for a bite to eat, the guide brought fruit...slightly odd young man but undeniably passionate bout bats abd boats! a few dolphins were ... read more

LEECHES!!! more later... Journal # 41 2/18/06 The last few days we have been in Melbourne, Victoria staying at a youth hostel. The Hostel is also equiped with a bar and that is where all the backpackers go. It has an internet cafe and that is where I go. Mostly I do school here, but I did have to tour the city with my family. Journal # 42 2/22/06 LEECHES!! not yet... Yesterday we had dinner with David Yaffe.

I don't know if this will be a theme throughout our trip...dinners with David Yaffes. We will have to keep the phone books away from Dad. We visited the Melbourne ... read more

Hello!! Oops didn’t realise it had been quite so long since I last wrote anything!! What have we been doing, well!!! Not that much actually!! Also, I noticed that the pictures at the end of the last blog weren’t for that time so I’m going to move them and put them on this one! I’ve also had to put this onto two entries as it seems I had more to gab about than what I originally thought!!! On the night that I wrote the last blog Lyds, Phil and I went to a house party at one of the other houses owned by the same people as ours! That was really good and we met some new people as well!! The Sunday we went down to Circular Quay where we bumped into someone we had met ... read more

Im moving out here. Port Macquarie is beautiful! 4 of us from the bus are staying at the same hostel called Ozzie Pozzie....its fabulous, small and friendly...with lollies for all the guests! very clean and well organised, personal yet with enough space for you not to fall over each other. Becky and myself are in the same dorm then Russ and Mark are in a twin to themselves. Thursday is pizza night so for $4.50 we had pizza and garlic bread. Then headed to....you guessed it....the irish bar. Not very authentic but the guys from bolton sat at the bar bought us drinks on the basis of us being english!! nice one! then we pretended to be irish all night so they played anything we asked for!! very entertaining night Met a local guy who hangs ... read more
