So after our ridiculous journey, we arrived in Viantienne, the capital of Loas with our fellow survivors, sleep deprived and hungry. While Mhairi ate steak sandwhich with the boys and hopped around, I made a quick detour to attain our Vietnam Visas, then another long bus journey to Viang Vieng- Home of many a cafe with tvs showing Friends and Family Guy. Mainly consists of two streets, surrounded by beautiful scenary. One day in bed in a damp horrible hotel room with a power cut and building work going on- X-Ray once the power cut had ceased, showed nothing was broken, a pair of very provincial crutches and strong painkillers later and the next day we attempted the infamous tubing. Everyone judged us as messy English people who had been hurt by drunken antics on the ... read more

Well- Catch up time! After busy Bali, I landed in the Northern territory of Darwin, Australia. I had arranged a couchsurfing place to stay, but my flight got in at 4am! Prepared to sleep in the airport until a more reasonable hour to contact my host, I was ecstatic to find him there waiting for me! AMAZING. So after the best meal of street food Satay shown to me by Bali dwellers from Java, a lift to the airport from an expat from Ireland, and a couple of hours sleep on the plane (I had 3 seats to myself!) I was swiftly transported to my own room and a double bed! The next day we went on a picnic and drive to Litchfield National park and saw waterfalls and rock pools! I then had a week ... read more

Soooooo... We landed back in Brisbane, met Jason and James Barrett, wondered the river and art galleries, then headed South to Tara (Colettes friend). We then went to Byron Bay where we saw bands, had FREE Chai tea on the green with fire throwers and invited ourselves on a Tasmanian guy's STAG weekened do. It was brilliant. I did not realise how explicit strippers can be. We then got a lift with one of the guys up to the Sunshine Coast. Here we stayed with some great girls for 3 nights, watched films, did Yagolates and went to the beach. Next stop- rainbow beach for Fraser Island. We had the BEST time. It was Mhairis birthday and she drove most of the 1st day. Along the sand, beach, listening to top tunes. We were in a ... read more

DEAR all in the UK, We got picked up from the airport in Christchurch and ended up staying with a friend of a friend for a couple of blissfully comfy nights, we then attempted to swim with dolphins (the killer whales scared them away!) and i got sick n the boat back (BAD TIMES). We then went to Nelson, had a day by the pool and a good night out there. Our next stop on the QUIET rainy West coast of the south island was Greymouth. OMG- So quiet. We got free baked goods and bubble bath at this hostel though! Then Franz Joseph, where our Skydive got canceled due to RAIN. We then got the the lakeside PARTY town of Queenstown. Very nice. Bar hopping and chilling with the beautiful scenery and nice shops. We ... read more
