Hello everyone - i'm still alive. I'm massively sorry for not having done a blog for sooooooooo looooooong! It's honestly because I haven't had a moment to do one - its a whirlwind of movement and activity and mostly DISTRACTIONS ;-) Which means that i'm having an amazing time. Last time a did a blog I had arrived in Airlie Beach and was about to do the Whitsundays. I went on a boat called 'Powerplay' and was fortunate enough to be sharing it with a fabulous bu...

Hello! I have finally managed to find time to sit down and type up a blog. It's been so busy since I reached Oz, that I literally haven't had a chance to do this, until now! There's so much that's happened that I won't be able to include everything. It's been a bit crazy. Arriving in Sydney went well. I got picked up by Lewis at Oz Intro, who took me straight to the hostel at Coogee Bay. I must admit, I wasn't so sure at first. Everyone's bags were piled up in...

Hello! This is my last blog for California. I'm flying from LAX tonight and will be arriving in Sydney on Monday morning (i'm time-travelling too, skipping a day).

At this time of the year there are Blue Whales that swim past Long Beach and that was what the boat was hoping to find. It isn't a guarantee that you see them but I was so hopeful because...

Hello again, I've been very busy sight seeing since my first blog entry. However i've got a lot of spare time today so thought i'd type it all up before I get things jumbled up in my mind! The first thing to report is that Wendal doesn't seem to mind me as much. He is currently sitting next to me and when it's just me that's around, he'll sit near me, which I take as a compliment. He will only bark for 2 seconds when I appear in the morning and only growls once...
