Our next stop was Surfers paradise. When we arrived all the hostels advertised at the bus station, were full! Nightmare! We finally found somewhere called sun and surf and got a six bed dorm. Our first night was okay as we shared with a nice Scottish couple, however the other two nights were hell. We had to Australian girls who were a pain in the arse, who kept opening the windows without guards so mosquitoes and bugs could come in and came in really late and rea...

We headed out to Noosa and spent our first night there in Dolphin Backpackers. The next day we checked in to Flashpackers, our favourite hostel so far. That day the sun came out at last and we finally felt like we were in Australia. We went on a local tour visiting Laguna lookout and climbed up a mountain top overlooking the whole Noosa area. On New Year's Eve in true Australian style we had a sausage sizzle at the hostel which included free campaign. We then sta...

We headed to an area called Bailan Bay, finding a cheap bungalow for the night just down the road from the Dusit Princess where we were booked in for Antonio's birthday. The next day we checked in at 8am to make the most of our one night in the five star resort! It was incredible but Angie was sick again (shock horror) and as it...

After Railay we headed to Koh Lanta for 2 nights and met up with Sean and Janine again. We stayed in a lovely bungalow at Lanta L.D Beach which was positioned a few feet from Long Beach. On our first evening we watched the sun set over the beach, it was a beautiful site as the sky and sea were painted orange. We found a nice restaurant on the Beach and sat in a bamboo hut playing cards and chilling by the ocean. After finding a place for breakfast that did beans ...
