Friday 15th January. When we woke up it was raining, it fact it rained most of the day. We didn't mind as we had plans to be indoors for most of the day anyway. We sat and had breakfast and chatted to Debbie and David, as Jess was at work. They reminded us of our own Mum and Dad and were so lovely and easy to get along with. They got us some umbrellas for the drizzly weather and we headed off on our own to Billabong Zoo. I am borderline obsessed with Koala Bears...

Thursday 14th January. By the time I was up, Lauren and Sarah had gone to work. Me and Kirsty sorted our washing and packed our bags and headed to the shop to get some breakfast and lunch. We picked up a sandwich from Subway for the drive and then ate our coco pops in the van. Traveller life! We drove to Port Macquarie which is a couple of hours away. We were staying with Jess, who is friends with Sarah, that Lauren and Kirsty met when travelling before. We arri...

Wednesday 13th January. We got up at 8am and packed away to check out in time for 10am. We had a couple of hours drive to Unima to Sarah's house. Kirsty and Lauren met her and Jess (who we are also going to stay with) in Vietnam, and Lauren had now moved in with Sarah as she plans to stay in Australia. Kirsty drove and we got to Umina about 1pm, so ate our lunch and waited for Lauren to get back from her first day at work. Sarah was at work until 7pm. When Laure...

Tuesday 12th January. We set an alarm for 7:15 to get up and out to see the Blue mountains today. We could hear all sorts of nature outside, and smell so much fresh greenery it was really nice. We went to make breakfast and toast some ciabatta's for lunch. Kirsty managed to pull the shelf off that the utensils was on in the camp kitchen, and everyone was staring at us. Typical Kirsty. Once we were all packed and ready to go we drove to Katoomba which is the next...

Monday 11th January. It's a sad day for me today. It's my last day in Sydney! I have definitely fell in love, and this place has stole my heart. I could easily have stayed for a lot longer. We started our day with some free pancakes they do at the hostel on Monday's, then after we checked out, we sat down to plan our next few days. We couldn't stop laughing at how last minute we had left it, and how I almost booked us in to an 'over 50's' hostel in Newcastle (Au...
