We arrived in Airlie Beach at 3pm and checked into Beaches hostel. Wow it was so busy. This hostel had its own bar thats also used by locals and holiday makers as well as travellers. The place was booming and the bar was over loaded with people. When we checked in we found out why, 80 football players where there for a weekened trip as it was the end of their season or something along those lines. We were dreading our plans for an early night as the place was so ...

In Mission Beach we met Heather and Jacob a couple from warrington and on the bus we met Bianca from Switserland so we all stuck together. We stayed at Civic backpackers.

The esplanade along the front of the ocean was full of lovely bars and restaurants, d...

Well here we are again for kuta beach round 2. Thankfully, because we had been hear before we didnt have to spend ages walking around looking accomodation. We went and luckily got a room at a hotel called Gemini, right in the middle of poppies 1 and 2 and right next to our 2 favorite restuarants. The room was so much nicer than the last prison sell we stayed in, hot shower and lovely pool area and the guys that ran it were really nice, it was also alot cheaper ...
