31st July - Surfers is Paradise After brekkie we checked out the rest of our hostel. It comes with a spa, sauna, pool, tennis court, games arcade, 24/7 internet, and even free soaps and water in the fridge, awesome! We had a hearty lunch at an Irish pub (we love those good old Irish pubs!) while shopping around for a bikini for Lucy (I hate this!) We had booked the tennis court for 4 so we headed back at 10 to and kicked the guys off the courts. I thought Lucy sucked, but she beat me 2 games running. So maybe it was me who sucked...? After an hour of tennis, we went to relax in the steamroom for a while.. I was the only one who dared have an ice cold shower afterwards. We ... read more

Griffith was a really nice campus, it looked very new. None of us slept the night before because we had a 430am taxi and a 6am flight into Brisbane. Our flight went well but when we got into the Brisbane airport it was raining! We left Melbourne to get away from the rain and it followed us to Brisbane where it's usually really sunny. We took a train for an hour to Surfer's Paradise and then to a bus that took us to Griffith. Matt said he felt like he was in a children's book about transportation because in one day we were in a taxi, ... read more
