Sunday 31st January. I didn't wake up until 11:30!!! I couldn't believe it. It's the latest I've woken up in months. My head was sore but I still didn't expect to sleep in for so long. We didn't want to waste the day though so we headed out to the Brisbane Botanic gardens. We lay under a tree and tried to enjoy the sun but there was no breeze and it was 34 degrees so it was suffocating. We finally cracked and got a taxi back to the hostel as we couldn't find a b...

Saturday 30th January. We were having a pamper day today. The weather wasn't great and we both decided it was what we needed. Any excuse. We booked in at Brisbane Hair Studio which is part of Brisbane school of hairdressing. We didn't realise when we were trying to find it that we walked passed it and around the centre for 30 minutes, before coming back. Typical. The girl who did our hair was originally from the UK and she was really nice. It wasn't really busy ...

Friday 29th January. Today was the day we ditched the Camper van. Neither of us could spend another day in it, it's definitely not something for the summer months, it's way too hot.

Thursday 28th January. I woke up early and we checked out of the hostel, I grabbed some toast and a hot chocolate and went to get the camper van. We headed up the coast to Australia zoo (Steve Irwin's zoo). We went up past Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, and it took about two hours to get there. We arrived by about 11am which was good because we wanted to go to the 'Koala holding' at 11:30am. It cost $59 to get in to the zoo and $22 to hold the Koala and get a l...

Wednesday 27th January. When I woke up the guys had already checked out the room. Me and Kirsty had sore heads so we decided to have a beach day. We headed down to the beach which was a five minute walk and lay there most of the day. Kirsty went in the sea and came running back saying I needed to go and join her. I went down and the waves were huge, it was like a wave pool. The lifeguards were making announcements for people to stay in a certain area they had co...
