Hey everyone. It is very exciting that i found nemo, but i found him in an aquarium and still need to find him in his natural habitat (the great barrier reef).

We had a surfing lesson yesterday, i was fairly poo but i still enjoyed myself. I didn't stand, no money back though coz we didn't find that surf school. I did crouch and it was only $30 each. My shoulders are killing me today though coz of carrying the surfboard down the beach whenever we drifted too far. It rained a bit and it was really windy. I caught lots of waves on my tummy, which is the best way to do it for a lazy bum like me.

Last night we went on a bar crawl with 7 other hostels, there were so many people. Me and jo went out with 2 girls from our room. 2 sisters from portsmouth, they have been working in sydney for a few months. We got on really well with them, but they are going to brisbane today and we don't go until tomorrow.

We are quite poor at the mo so we are living on pot noodle and cuppa soup, not great. And i have developed a cold. But other than that everything is hunky dory.

Lots of love katie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
