London (29.08.2012): Well that was a long one! Just collected our bags. Unbelievably tired! 22 hour flight landing at 05:25 which is 14:25 Sydney time. Boy is my body clock messed up! You will all be pleased to know that battered though it is, my conical Vietnamese hat has made it! The flight was ok. We stopped for fuel for 2 hours at Singapore. Watched heaps of films. It's so strange to be back on English soil. I feel disorientated. Where's my hostel? Now for a...

Sydney (27.08.2012): OHHHHHHH our last day of travelling is over!!! *SAD FACE* Had a great day to end our trip. We headed first of all to Bondi Beach. I couldn't leave without seeing the famous surfing beach. We spent awhile watching the surfers. We couldn't find anywhere to hire a board or we would have had a go. Amazing beach but Manly is a nicer place as the town was a bit disappointing. After catching the train back to Kings Cross we stopped off in the hoste...

Sydney (26.08.2012): Boy it was loud in our hostel last night. We have the room by reception and the front door. There were people coming in and out all the way through the night. We heard a few glorious drunken songs! Oh for a good night's sleep! The hostel made up for the lack of sleep with free breakfast including nutella - yum! We were soon off exploring making for the botanic gardens and a nice walk all the way to the Sydney Opera House. We stopped at a ...

Sydney (25.08.2012): AHHHHH we have reached our final destination! We touched down in Sydney, New South Wales (a new state) at 14:20. We hung around for our free shuttle to Zing Backpackers arriving at around 16:00. Nothing much to report today. I got someone's hair caught in my backpack and my Singapore travel neck pillow burst in the shuttle - millions of white polystyrene dots went everywhere. Oh dear. Not a successful trip! We had a great view over Sydney...

Byron Bay (24.08.2012): Oh. As much as I am not ready to leave yet, I cannot wait to sleep on a bed other than a bunk bed and not share my room with complete strangers. It's ok most of the time but this bunk bed has no ladders. I can't figure it out. I am sharing a room with five boys, it stinks! Hmmm a bad nights sleep. Some Irish guys were up till 5am being drunkard and loud. Damn it. Go the Irish though. They are definitely the most party animals of all natio...
