Got up having had a desent nights sleep. Then had breakfast. Apparently there wa a market going on down the Valley Market. So being a public holiday with little open myself with some German girl whos name escapes me headed down to check it out. There was approximatly 3 stalls at the market, but all the bars and Reastaurants were at least open. Walked around here for a while before German girl had to leave to go catch her bus up north. I still had a fare pit of time left before having to catch mine so I spent some time on the internet before wondering to China town (right next door.) China Town consist of only one street but it alot nicer then Sydneys or Melbournes ( large pagodas every where.) There seemed to ... read more

We got to Noosa yesterday which was a welcome relief. I wasn't all that keen on Brisbane and the hostel wasn't so nice but it is lovely here in Noosa. We went out last night and the hostel actually had a meet and greet welcome meeting - it was like being on holiday : ) Today I went surfing!! I really enjoyed it. I had been hoping to learn somewhere along the East Coast and they have a good surf school here so I decided to sign up for a lesson. It was 2 hours and we spent a short time on the beach learning the basics and trying out our moves. They teach a 1-2-3 step process and it works. We went out into the sea and rode a few waves, just lying on ... read more

Hi guys! sorry its been like... a week since ive last written. time does just fly by. so we've done a lot in a week. after fraser island and being in hervey bay, we took a greyhound to rainbow beach (because we didnt want to wait for our stupid oz bus... the schedule isnt always the greatest). it was the smallest town we've been in yet in australia (under 1000 people). it was really nice just to sit and relax there... cause there really was nothing going on. our first night there we ran into some kids from winnepeg and we hung out with them for the night. it was nice to talk to some people without accents for the whole night! haha. we went surfing on our second day in rainbow, but the surf there ... read more

Eager to find our way to Noosa and out of the shoddy weather, Gene and I packed up and headed north on the Sunshine Motorway. Along the way, we stopped at the Eumondi Market, enjoying the live entertainment, German sausage stand and numerous tents selling various types of goods. The woman who sold me a bratwurst, plain, curiously inquired, “Are you American?” “Yes, I am. Why do you ask?” “I don’t know what it is with Americans, but they never order a bratwurst without sauerkraut. You are the first in hundreds of American customers to order it without,” the dumbfounded woman remarked. “And to think she’s German, too!” Gene jested. “No worries…I like to think I’m quite unlike anyone else anyways,” I added with a smile. “Have a good day ladies.” As we meandered along, Gene ... read more

טוב, אז עזבנו את ביירון ויצאנו לדרך, לשבוע מלא אקשן והרבה שעות נסיעה.. התחנה הראשונה שלנו בדרכנו מביירון צפונה הייתה סרפר'ז פרדייז. מדובר בעיר נחמדה, שקצת מזכירה את אילת, האמת, עם חוף ים ארוווך ומלא בתי מלון שיושבים על קו החוף. הגענו לספר'ז אחר הצהריים, ומכיוון שהיה לנו רק לילה אחד להעביר שם אז מיהרנו לצאת ולטייל קצת בעיר.. בעודנו מטיילים בטיילת פגשנו באופן הזוי לחלוטין את יעל, שחפפה את אושרי לעבודה במסעדה באילת, עוד בתקופה שקרענו את התחת כדי להיות פה.. העלנו חוויות והיה כיף להיזכר מה עברנו כדי להגיע עד אוסטרליה הרחוקה.. למחרת בצהריים כבר המשכנו הלאה את מסענו לתחנה הבאה - נוסה. עיר פשוט י-פ-ה-פ-י-ה שיושבת (במפתיע) על קו החוף וחוצים אותה נחלים ואגמים.. שהמיוחד בהם שהמים שזורמים בהם הם מי ים ובגלל זה לכל מי שגר על הגדות שלהם יש כמו חוף ... read more
