Part I - Sydney So, to Australia. After the of the journey there, it was only fair that I got a decent break. As luck would have it, a couple of friends from University live in Sydney, and they were being visited by another couple of chaps who I've known on and off for the last few years. This made a decent pack of us for caroousing around the nightspots of Sydney. I'd lost touch with my Syndey based chums, and had forgotten just what hospitable people they are. They also have a wonderful harbour front pad with pool, and a signed photo of John Howard that reads 'Welcome to Australia'. So pretty well set up, then. Sydney is one of those large harbour cities that constantly tops lists of the best places in the world ... read more

Woensdag eind van de dag aangekomen in Yuragir National Park, bij een plek die Sandon heet, naast Sandon River. Hele mooie plek, een grote baai en een klein eiland erbij en een rivier mond. Aan de andere kant van de rivier een plek die Sandonvillage heet, hoe kom je erop? haha Hier kun je alleen met de boot of na een tocht van 10 km over het strand komen. Weer de tent en de rest van het kamp opgezet en toen even de baai bekeken. S avonds weer bij het vuur een biertje, echt vakantie! Er is maar 1 nadeel: er zijn geen douches, en voor diegene die mij een beetje kennen: ik kan bijna niet wakker worden zonder.... Donderdagochtend eerst yoga gedaan op het eilandje, met een opkomende zon, goed voor de vermoeide spieren en ... read more

Hihi...;) Dro til Brisbane i formiddag, mer om det senere. Foer det kan jeg skrive litt om de to siste dagene vaare i Surfers Paradise. Vi ble litt lengre enn foerst anntatt. Foerst og fremst paa grunn at vi har vaert litt slappe de siste dagene pga den voldsomme varmen. Bodd paa samme hostellet hele tiden. Hadde tenkt aa baade leie scooter og hoppe i fallskjerm her, men pratet med folk som anbefalte aa vente med det. Fallskjermhoppingen her er ikke saerlig beroemt, saa vi vil heller vente til vi kommer til feks Cairn eller New Zealand, saa vi er garantert en flott opplevelse, spektakuler utsikt osv:) Saa det ble ikke den fartsfylte uken vi foerst hadde tenkt. Like greit. Tirsdag dro vi inn til sentrum av byen endelig, stranden var nydelig, men iallefall jeg likte ... read more

12 months ago, we visited a Travel Expo in Brisbane, and decided that our next trip would have to be a cruise! We took home dozens of brochures, poured over them till 1am. then decided on two back to back cruises. I knew a short cruise to the Pacific Islands wasnt for me, and these two cruises worked out to around 42 days. We made our booking immediately, but were then very disappointed to find that the first cruise was already booked out. I then joined a Bulletin Board on the Net called Cruise Critics, and for weeks read all about the various cruises and cruiselines. The decision was then to try and book a Seabourn cruise. With a lot of help and advice from the Members at CC, I made the booking. We now ... read more

I managed to get a haircut in Queensland this morning & not come away with a mullet, what a relief! We walked into town & stopped off at tourist info to find out that a theatrical adaptation of Monkey would be performed in the evening & had to get directions to the theatre. We carried on to the Queensland Museum South Bank where there were good displays of Queenlands terrestrial & marine fauna as well as a great interactive Aboriginal gallery. The Queensland Cultural Centre also houses the Queensland Art Gallery where other interactive displays allow you to stick coloured dots on a white room & build structures out of white Lego bricks. The afternoon was basking in the usual Queensland heat & we had a dip in the lagoon at Streets Beach. The beach is ... read more

Hello Everyone - Time for your next update - lucky you! Last time i wrote i was on Ko Samui and heading on to Ko Pha Ngan. Well my last night on Samui was eventful as we went out and got very drunk. The journy the following day was hellish, i have learnt my lesson never to move on with a hangover. I woke up feeling ok, so thought i would catch the early boat to Ko Pha ngan, big mistake. A rickety coach ride to the port from where i was staying in Chaweng and then a fairly dodgy boat ride where i was trying my hardest not to throw up. From there i had to get a mini bus to the beach where i could catch a long tail boat to bottle beach - ... read more
