Well I officially can't surf!!! Oh my god I am so glad I didn't book a 2 day trip as what I experienced today very nearly killed me!! I booked a 2 hour lesson on Manly Beach and it was hell. It didn't help that it was apparently perfect conditions for surfing and as we were mixed with others who had surfed before they gave us a 2 minute demonstration as then told us to get in the water - I couldn't even carry my board let alone remember what to do when faced with...

Am back in Sydney again after returning to Airlie Beach briefly to visit a friend. Had a great time sailing and just chilling out and eating loads! Off to Melbourne at the end of the week and I can't wait as I have heard so much about it and have a few people I am meeting up with which should be really good. Today I went to the Blue M...

That is all just had to write it down in case ...

Happy New Year from Sydney!!!! Feeling very sad today as said goodbye to Dave this morning. We had a brilliant month together and I am going to miss him loads Since the last blog entry I can report that Xmas dinner in the campervan was a great success!!! We had chicken, roast potatoes, veg, gravy and stuffing - all cooked with the help of a hob and a microwave - no oven! We have photographic proof for those of you who don't believe me and we even had crackers ...
