I'm back...a week on and I have made it to windy Wellington. Whoo. It is actually a city known for being windy...and after today I entirely agree as I almost got blown over today - if it wasn't for the railings beside me I may well have fallen right on my arse. Anyway, let's rewind to a week ago... Parasailing, oh yes oh yes...it was much fun and the views were incredible. So the girls jumped straight onto the parasailing boat as soon as they arrived back f...

Tuesday 18th...was a very strange day. It's the first time I can honestly say I wasn't excited to get on the plane. I had so much fun in Oz and it was horrible to say goodbye to Stefan, who I had spent 6 solid weeks with, day in, day out. He was much fun to be around and we were always laughing together.

Monday 20th was the popular Whitsundays tourist trap which of course is a 'must do' if you are here! So Stefan, Brodie and I decided to give it a go... Our 3 days eating, sleeping and chilling on the boat also involved sailing, snorkelling, diving (including a night dive which was pretty scary as you literally can see nothing!), chilling on the beaches, eating great food (including ants bums!, Beef stew, risotto, pasta salads, potato salads, steak and mash, ...
