The 14th started much like the 13th for me and Laura. Sleepy so very sleepy, so we deserved our lay in. Once we were up and about it dawned on us that we were soon to run out of booked accomdation! So we revised our originally plans of using the bus from Brisbane to Cairns (2 12 hour night buses) and booked a flight (2 hours). Once booked we extended our time in Sydney and planned out the next few places. Making us both feel a little more relaxed, we are not the ...

We arrived in Sydney early, very early but the hostel were having a dry spell and were willing to check us in early. If they hadn't I may have just cuddled up on the pavement for 3 hours. The 12 hour bus journey was horribly uncomfortable to sleep on and resulted in little sleep. Even Laura who seemingly can sleep anywhere as long as she is warm, struggled. Our room was a typical hostel room with the usual lack of comforts, but the bed was sleepable and thats ...

The mini bus then collected us at 8:30am to take us on our Phillip island tour, with our excentric and hippiesque guide named Rael. During the bus journey we met Hannah, a girl from Lancashire traveling solo for 3 months and soon to be returning home. Th...

Today is our first day in Melbourne and our first real experience of the Space hotel unisex bathrooms. Now these are individual cubicles and cleaned regularly, yet somehow people manage to reverse the cleaning crews efforts in less than 2 minutes. Ant is rather pleased I am experiencing horrible bathrooms as he has had to deal with this since we arrived in Australia, it would appear men are the main culprits for the bathroom state. Girls are not innocent though t...
