after having an extreamly large night before catching the flight, im a complete wreck on the 1 1/2 hour journey, the little girl next to me was even laughing! Everytime the plane turned i thought the plane was going to crash, so my rule now is to take it easy before every flight........ I got to sydney not feeling good at all. I checked into my hostel, which was run by the same company as the one from Melbrn. But the place was gloomy and didnt have its own bar. I got in to my room and me one of the fellas in my dorm. Some twat from Sheffield. didnt do anything wrong to me personaly but i just got the vibe that the bloke was a bit stuck up his rear end. I went for ... read more

'Twas the night before departure, and all through the house, the whole family was packing, except for the mouse (because he's not welcome). It's midnight, Tim's out partying cos he's cool, and I've finally started a travel blog. A word of warning to everyone not tech-savvy - it's really confusing and hard. I guess we've got two months to figure out how to use it. We leave Sydney at 6pm tomorrow night (the 10th). We fly to Bangkok, and then to London.

Once again we got up this morning and took the ferry to Circular Quay and again to Darling Harbour. We had planned to go the the aquarium first, but the queue was extermely long, and as it was open until 10pm we had then rest off the day to go back. Instead we went to the Maritime Museum. The indoor museum is free to look around and contains lots of relics relating to the Maritime history. The most interesting part was The Destroyer warship and a submarine, both moored in the harbour, which you could freely explore. The submarine was partically interesting to look around and its quite incredible to see how small and claustrophic the quarters were that the crew lived in. The crew slept in bunks just large enough for there strapped-down body, sometimes ... read more

Hey everyone firstly, apologies for not posting one of these for awhile - we've been having way too much fun! Westwoods up first.............. Well Thailand........ was sad to leave it to be honest - the most beautiful place I've seen up to now! The trips to the islands were AMAZING! We went to James Bond Island (they filmed part of The Man With The Golden Gun there), Phang Nga and Hong Island sea-canoeing, the latter two islands were lagoons that you had to go through caves to get too........... fruit bats everywhere! In one of the lagoons was a monkey sitting in the mangrove trees and we fed him a nana! He took it right out of your hands! The next trip was Phi Phi Islands (we were meant to be visiting Krabi aswell but the ... read more
