My last week in Australia I was in Sydney with Chantelle and Chris. I just want to say thank you first for putting me up and entertaining me. I hope you guys enjoyed yourself as much as I did?!? Shortly after writing my last blog entry, I moved into a flat share in Richmond sharing with Kartja from New Zealand and Heidi from Estonia. Funnily I met Heidi before when searching around for other flats. Melbourne is very small and these kinds of coincidents happen al...

Hi Everyone, I am sooo sorry that I haven't been updating you about my travels any earlier, but I tell you traveling can be stressful! After saying good bye to John in Sydney, I took a night bus to Melbourne. I am now almost 3 weeks here and love it. I booked into a backpackers that seemed to be the nicest one around according to very direct comments online about all the other places.

It was really nice to see him again as I missed him so much. Hopefully the next weeks are going to be fine - I was a bit worried! We collected our camper van and drove st...

It's a town close to the sea side famous for its seals that hang around the fish market waiting for the fisher men to throw them some fish leftovers. I took a video of that which I uploaded. Anyway, it was Sunday and this town was quite dead, but there was an organised boat tour that I went on. Initially fearing I was the only one on the boat, I was joined by about 30 men all ages. It wa...
