London: Fly from Brisbane Airport to London. This flight is going to be SUPER DOOPER FUN as we have bought a return flight in ECONOMY class, my number one favourite! I love it how in every long economy flight there is always 1. An annoying ass crying baby that never stops, on occasion they will soil themselves and stink out the entire plane, shit yes. 2. An old person that drools on your shoulder, some times you will get the pleasure of finding a pair of false teeth on your lap, that's always fun. 3. A troll that demolishes food by the tonne and squishes you into your seat. However every now and then you will get a sexy female flight attendented that serves your "every" need. I thought i needed to specifiy the gender here ... read more

Hi Everyone! After parting company with Emma in Canberra I took the bus to Sydney and spent some time with friends there. Then I took the overnight train to Brisbane, since it only cost $69, and I didn't have to pay for accommodation for a night on the train. It was 6am when I got to Brisbane, but I was able to get into my hostel room right away. Brisbane is called the River City, probably because it has a river that runs through the middle of it. You can always trust the Australians to be sensible about names. It rained almost the entire time I was in Brisbane, so it made for a depressing ambiance while I was sightseeing. My favorite thing to do in a city is visit the museums, so I did that ... read more

Spent my last day in Byron lazing either in a hammock or on the beach reading my book. Was very relaxing. Had new roommates that night (2 Aussie dudes, a German girl and a guy from Reigate), and we all sat out in the garden with a few drinks (tried goon for the 1st time, cheap boxed wine, pretty nasty as it was red which I don't like anyway), before all going out to a bar for some pool (which I won amazingly) and dancing. Was a great way to spent my last night there. Was a shame I was leaving just as they all arrived as they were a cool bunch, got on really well with the English guy. Got the bus up to the Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise, the next day and was staying ... read more

I spent my Saturday walking through Brisbane with Kevin O'Leary today. We met up at around 10:00 at the Queen Street Mall and walked to the Queensland Art Gallery. We crossed the river at the Victoria Bridge. The Gallery was really interesting there are some amazing pieces of Art on display. We then went to Gallery of Modern Art which was more my scene to be honest. After all this walking we decided to find a place to get some food. Our first attempt was a Turkish place called The Ottoman but it was way to hot in there they have no Air Con and today was definitely an Air Con day. After walking around in we found Ouzeri and we had an amazing lunch. The Food was good and the conversation lively. We had a ... read more
