BULA everyone!!!!Wow I've done so much since my last journal entry but had no access to internet as been castaway on a desert island (ok well not a desert island but an island anyway just like the one above actually!)Got my flight from Brisbane to Nadi and arrived to the rain and the heat. Apparently Fiji was in the middle of its hot and wet season at the moment which was lovely as you can imagine. The humidty just hit you straight away and within 1 minute i ...

This morning it was time for me to say goodbye to Kat! I had to get up ridiculously early to catch my bus up to Brisbane for my flight to Fiji but still had time for an emotional fairwell. It's going to be so weird without her, we've literally spent every day together for the last 20 weeks! We'll be getting withdrawl symptoms.

We checked in then had a wander around in t...

We managed to get into a crappy one which totally ripped us off so decided to get out of Sydney.So the next day we got on a flight to Brisbane (we're such jet setters eh?) and then got the bus down to Surfers Paradise. As soon as...
