We are now in New South Wales, 1hr ahead of Queensland which is most odd. We arrived in Byron Bay after Surfers Paradise yesterday...it is really fun here :-D
So carrying on from my previous snippet...Noosa was really fun. We stayed somewhere for a couple of nights then had to move due to being fully booked (damn triathlon!!) we have this habit of things happening whilst in the place or we leave somewhere and it all kicks off....WE FOUND OUT THAT WE WILL BE IN CHICAGO WHEM OBAMA MOVES INTO THE WHITEHOUSE!! thats gonn a be a treat! (obamas home town) massive moment in history tho!!!! keeping my newspaper from that day!!!
We moved to a dorm down the road in noosa and we had a cool night with Franzi, Pia, Peter and Guili (julie)....its where we discovered GOON!!! George called us flashpackers for not drinking goon but we have now tried it!!! was an experience, u can see it written on dans face in the photos....IT CONTAINS FISH PRODUCTS!!! haah!1 and they dont allow it to be sold in europe! thats how bad it is!!!!
After Noosa we headed to Brisbane. We met up with Ash again
which was cool and his girlfriend Lauren. The city is cool, great shop and cool bars. Nice botanic gardens too which we mooched around. We spent a day at a waterpark too!! Yes we are 22 and 23 going on 15 but it was sooo cool! i love the photo of dan down the 8 slide racer!!! Funny story: the first time i went on it i put my back out so swore not to go back on it, the 2nd time (and also the 1st!) i could not get a good start (ian will remember how crap i am at winning these things, im always the girl who gets stuck!!!!!) so on my 3rd time i threw myself down this slide and came third! me, chuffed!!! dan came 7th :-D but wot a funny photo of him, lol!!!!!
With Ash we looked around China Town (ash and pan live right on the edge of china town, in the valley!). cool appartment and then had a barbie that night and did manage to head out later too to Uber (in the pissing down rain, its us english! we bring rain to oz!!!).
After Brissie we cau ght the
here she is...a beaut!
Q1 Building in Surfers Paradise, tallest residential building in the world bus to Sur fers Paradise or aka Vegas by the sea. It is loads of sky rise building right on th e b eac h. i like skyscrapers coz i like architecture, fell in love with a lovely buildng which turned out it is the tallest residential building in the world. its a stunner, i'll get my pics up.
We chilled on the beach in surfers, one arvo i dropped dan off at the pub so he could watch cricket and i cud browse the shops. (shopping unsupervised!!).
So yesterday we arrived in Byron Bay! Doing 3 nights here and loving it so far! Dan is a little worse for wear this morning after a bender last night. Think we drank too much without dinner and then had a kebab at 10pm.....school boy!!!!!! then proceeded back to the club for some more! :-D went to a cool bar where it was ladies night so got some free bubbly, i wudnt call it champers coz it was BRIGHT PINK!! and also had a few games going on and u can dance on the tables!!!! awesome!!! i kindly volunterred me and maria when they asked for some ladies on stage....we had to get items of clothing from the audience.....1st one was a t-shirt, some guy wouldnt take off his shirt and caused me to lose in the 1st round. got it eventually but it was all inside out, bad times!!!! anyways maria was doing good i gave her my belt and she grabbed some jeans but was too slow. the competition was fierce!!!! also had a male strip show although when the guy pulled his boxers off i dont think that was allowed as his modesty was shielded by the guy running the joint, lol!!!!!! he got some whistles....
so tht brings u all up to speed, apologies for bad typing but th is space bar is knackered. so today is overcast so just bumming around!!! our friends are in nimbin today, waiting to hear ab out it to see whether we should go. bascially its just the cannabis capital of oz but thats it. might try kayaking with dolphin with freddie and maria (our swede mates).
right signing off, lots of love. wud love ur comments and photos coming soon xxxxx
