Today I went to the crocodile park I had a terrible nights sleep last night. Firstly, one girl was too cold and switched off the aircon (cardigan?). Then another women comes in and switches the light on. Clearly me and the other girl are asleep, but she didn't care. Even when pissed you can muster a 'sorry', and she seem old enough to know better (about 40yrs I'd say). I say to her "If you give it a couple of seconds your eyes will adjust&qu...

I went fishing on Cullen Bay today. I've never sea fished before, and the last time I did any coarse fishing was a few years ago. I was quite looking forward to it - I've wanted to catch a fish I could eat (and enjoy eating) for a long time. The bay was quite beautiful and it was a another scorcher. Rain was forecasted for this afternoon, but it has held off. It was a fairly small boat, but it comfortably held 12 people. I think some of the people had pai...

2 black days in 22 - pretty good going really. And to be honest, I don't think that I can legitimately class this as a black day, as I know what I'm upset about.

A backpackers place. Those of you that know me well know that I can find/make fun in almost eve...

I went to the museum today, and I have to say that it was good. I walked there, because on the map it doesn't look like a long way. I figured half an hour. It took me an hour. When I got there I was dripping with sweat. And the heavens opened on the way. But luckily I had my umbrella, as my mum always says "Never leave the house without an umbrella; you can never trust this English weather". Okay, so I'm not in England, but the premise is the same. T...

Unfortunately the boat cruise was closed due to the high level of rain. They couldn't guarantee our safety from crocs (as much as you can guarantee something like that anyway). We also could swim for the same reason. This was very frustrating. It was really humid - we visited a couple of waterfalls and all we could do was look at them. I was particularly upset about one that was a thermal spring that cascaded down a long area at a low level. It is possible to...
