Helloooooo from jess and Nicole! We are in Cairns and alot has happened since we last wrote. Byron Bay was incredible, probably the best part of our time there was our surf lesson. We all managed to stand on the board, although our instructor told Nicole and I that we simply needed to try to move on the boards rather than just lie there lol! Had a couple of fun nights out in Byron Basy and spent alot of time chilling in the beach. We stayed in the Arts Factory ...

Jess-Sydney/Byron Bay! Hi everyone! Once again can take advantage of the free internet to update the blog. Firstly thanks for all of Nicole and I's birthday messages, much appreciated! After a long flight to Sydney stuck between 2 French men with BO I arrived at Sydney to be reunited with the other 3, and once I'd revelled in the luxury of our dorm at YHA Central we went to the bar next door for a few drinks. The next morning we got the ferry across to Manly ...

Old churches and 19th century train stations and theatres stand with a back drop of sky ...

Good news: we were on the front row right behind the goal (or the poles as i called them and got laughed at). bad news was that its was 3 degrees and pouring dow...

We got to Auckland on 29 June and stayed at an awesome place called Nomad's Fat Camel! We were only in Auckland briefly but really liked it, especially after having no shops or internet access in Fiji. I think we spent a good half an hour trawling through Borders (Ayesha hadnt read a book for a year and I think she's finding books facinating now.. not). We got the most soppy audio tape we could find and picked up our sexy toyota rental car the next day and drove ...
