Our journey on the Oz Experience bus began here and with our very early start we were feeling a little worse for wear. it wasnt how we expected at all- the bus driver plays double to your tour guide, making remarks on the microphone and even stopping here or there at a view point or for an acitivity (as you can imagine we were NOT in the mood for these stops on this occasion). we're finding that the Oz Experience has its ups and downs- sometimes you just want to ...

We knew we were going to miss Thailand as we had grown to love it but we were ready to leave at that point as we were permanently grubby and sick of asian food and the lack of the English language. Australia was as refeshing as we thought- to hear the receptionist at Gilligans Backpackers hostel was like music to our ears!!!

Round 2... a few hours and a few Margharita's later and we've plucked up enough courage to write it all out again since losing it all!! So here we are.... over the madness of Bangkok, the days when everything was intimidating and crazy and we now feel like right grubby travellers!! One overnight train, overnight bus and night ferry later and we find ourselves at the Full Moon Party... it was madness!! The beach was absolutely crammed with people raving, drinki...
