So the day we landed in Christchurch was the day after St Patricks day..we enjoyed our last night in Sydney saying goodbye to friends a little too much...we arrived back at the hostel about 3am and had to get up at 5am to leave for the airport. Me and Jo boarded the plane and instantly passed out, neither of us made it past the safety instructions... After a very quick, 2 hour flight we landed in Christchurch feeling a little bit worse for wear! The first thing ...

SYDNEY.....THE END...... Blue Mountains... Panda, Jo and Katherine booked a fabulous trip through Wicked Travel (where Panda worked) to the Blue Mountains! We spent ages in a mini bus to be taken to some outdoor toilets and some wild kangaroos. We learnt a bit of trivial...kangaroo is an aborigional word for 'I don't understand you' when a westerner asked what a kangaroo was! We was then put back on the bus and taken to the Blue Mountains. We trekked around, s...

When we had settled in to our hostel we headed for our retreat....McDonalds as there wasn't one in rehab! We then...

So we arrive in Port Macquarie all upset to be welcomed into a great hostel. It was like the hostel we stayed in in Thailand. It was a little house with a pool in the garden! This was to be our rehab for a week just before christmas... There wasn't much to do in Port Macquarie as it is a very small, quiet town. We just wanted a chill out and be able to save a few pennies before arriving in the big city for christmas and new year! So while we were here we just c...
