omg ive finally found a spare hour to update my increasingly 'weak' travel blog,
over the last 3 ish weeks sooo much has happened ,
it started off with an amazing 3 days of diving!, got my open water cirtificate , which allows me to dive to 18 metres n e where with a mate!... the 3 day course involved drinking lots of hungarian vodka , and hanging out with hairy hungarians , it was a small company in phuket run by ..yep ....hungarians ,that i went to and it was only me and another hungarian doing the course the first day was like going back to school completing tests and tasks in a pool then the next two days wer on a boat , the food was amazing and the diving was even better , the last day was the companies last day of hiring the boat for the season , so the owner had all of her hungarian family members on the boat (all over 40) but the vodka and laughs wer flowing, great day out and celebration!
o dear il apologisenow for my writing skills as they are getting even worse!
during the diving course me jake tom and coxy went out in patong on another mad night, and we also went to one of jakes mates house parties!, what an amazing building , this girls parents didnt live with her she had maids and a pool and a driver!, n e way great times in patong all round!,
the 3 welshy's ( me tom and cox) then headed on down to kuala lumpur via hat yai a thriving town in thailand on a bus sooo comfy and films shown aswell!, kuala lumpur was brilliant , thai prices western quality! and it was soooo clean. the trains and bus wer also radiculously efficient! copmpared to crazy thailand, n e way we found a decent cheap hostel with free pool?!?!? cant go wrong?, and i set out on a mission to find konrad! ( mark konrad) a freind of dannnos from uni, so wwe met up with him that night and the night after! he was sooo helpful and invited us all to the uraguayan embassy where his girlfreind lived!, we had one of the best meals weve had yet next to a glistening pool! they had a great dog aswell that was just like bramble beths dog but it spoke malaysian! haaahahaaa,
altogether we stayed in KL for 3 days 2 night , went up the 4th highest building in the world KL tower and saw the famous petronus towers, went to an aqaurium which coxy loved and we visited some of the best shopping centres ....EVER one had a rollercoaster in it! ahhh, after KL we got a bus to and spent one day in singapore!
dropped our bags off at the airport ready to go to OZ! then headed into the big city!, probally the cleanest city ive ever been to, not allowed to smoke , or spit or jay walk, all of which cox managed to do within the first 10 mintues! great stuff, we felt cultural so visited and amzing art gallery had fun in the kids section building towers and jumping into them!, had a gander at chinatown, managed to get up to a block of flats and experience the most amzing view of the city! we couldnt afford to stay there because prices of everything reflected londons!,
soo a bus back to the airport then we managed to forget which terminal we left our bags in soo 30 minutes later after visiting 3 terminals we found them ! few and we were ready to hit australia ...HARD!,
our first destination was cairns, we stayed at gilligans hostel a thriving community of backpackers awaited us and the socialising began!
met some great people spent a day hanging out by the lagoon! ( a man made haven!), then got incredibly pissed off with abbey national as they decided to block my card again! 15 dollers later and a pain staking wait on the phone and it was all sorted ...again!, the second day we managed to meet up with 2 guys we met in koh pha-nagn!, they wer also doing the east coast from north to south. We all went to the bottle shop purchased some goon and visited a great club called woolshed!, the day after cox and tom decided that they didnt have enough money to travel on a bus and stay in hostels soooo they we thiking of hitch hiking! then i woke up to 'hey bill' .....'we bought a car!' so 10 mintues later they hit the dusty trail with a tent and an old banger!, we already disgusted the situ so i'd planned to travel with josh and jack from mallbra, wiltshire , the town i lived in for the first week of my life!
so cox and tom set off , me jack and josh booked onto an ultimate party tour around cairns and all was goood. we then booked our greyhound bus ticket ( hop on hop off from cairns to sydney) i got 10% off for showing them a fake student card that danno advised me to buy in bangkok! score! cheers bruv. that evening we were prepared for some serious carnage and some serious goon action!, the ultimate party strated off with a lush bbq, then we all (120 people) set off to the first of 5 clubs in cairns....on a double decker bus!, jack started up a drinking game that involved everyone piling onto the back seat! and the banter was flowing!...all of the clubs wer class and free pizza was given out at the last! amazing night!
fwwwwwwww getting there...
the next day we jumped on the greyhound bus and headed off to mission beach where we chilled out for 2 days - dressed up as spiderman - drank goon - went hunting for cassowary birds! and found one ( endangered) - met some wiked scottish girls - and did a skydive!!!!!!!!!!!, the most amazing feeling in the world free falling to the floor i absolutely loved it... the views ... the adrenaline... and the headcase of an instructor strapped to my back!, we then landed on the beach with legs like jelly!, me and jack both did the dive josh couldnt conjure up the courage!...
next destination was a night in townsville before we headed off to magnetic island! a 15 mintues boat trip to a tiny island inhabited with koalas snakes and all sorts of wildlife, we went on a tour of a koala sanctury and got to hold a koala!, which i thought id love ...i was last up ...really excited...got my hands in the right position and then the guide went to put the koala on me and i looked down ... ( probally the most terrifying thing ever... its feet are the spitting image of a eagles, hooked claws arrrghghghhhhh, horrible... i jumped away and the whole group errupted in laughter! the guide said shed never met someone scared of a koala ..well she'd obviously never met someone scared of birds!, n e way i closed my eyes and she put it on me ..absoulutly sh*tting myself but managed to get my free photo... i look scared to say the least!,
n e way the next day me jack josh and a guy called gary that we'd met at mission beach headed off on a 3 hours walk around the island to see koalas in the wild and some more fantastic beaches!
the next day we got back on the boat then on a bus to airlie beach!
josh and jack prebooked a sailing trip around whitsundays ( fantastic islands) for 3 days 2 nights , i decided money was tight so am just chilling out by the lagoon, sunbathing , cooking decent meals( dont worry mum), and going out to quality clubs with the 2 scottish girls abbey and hannah..and obv drinking decent amounts of goon!, which dosnt give me a hangover ! love it!, sooo thats the goss, josh and jack are back on monday then we have frazer island camping trip booked and a few night in hervey bay all sorted!, its great we all want to do exactly the same things ...so we are loving australia together..nice n gay,
think we will to a 5 day surf camp down the golden coast, and end up in sydney with a week untill i reunite with coxy and tom ready for a possible campervan trip up newzealand!! cant wait , this travelling malarky is the bizz,
