Day 42: 11/2/13 I had decided that i was going to have a Sleep in this morning. The phone did ring for work, which was a good sign!! I didn't answer it though as I had no clothes or anything ready for school and I was wrecked! I walked to the shopping centre down the road to post my letter saying I'll be returning from my career break in September! I picked up a tax form aswell as I have to change my tax allowance back to the teaching- I had changed it to child...

Day 41: 10/2/13 Laura came with me this morning to get the shuttle bus to the airport. There's a bus from one of the main stations in the city centre but we had to get a few different trains to get there! At least it wasn't too early- we left around 9 I think. I got the shuttle bus just after 10 and it only took about twenty minutes to get to the airport. My flight wasn't until 12 so I had plenty of time. The flight took off and landed according to time and was...

Day 40: 9/2/13 We got up late this morning and myself and Laura went to a restaurant down the road for breakfast. An Irish lad served us- he spotted us a mile away! Later we got the Train to Carlton Gardens and walked around there. It was really pretty. We saw about six different weddings- some were just posing for photos, others were having the whole ceremony in the gardens. We saw one ceremony starting with bride been brought down the aisle by her father! We...

Day 39: 8/2/13 Laura and I were both up early enough this morning, but we spent ages chatting at breakfast so it was almost 12 before we were ready to leave the house! Laura had gotten these few days off so we were free to roam around. We went to the Aquarium first. We saw lots of penguins- you could see them waddling around, swimming, minding eggs ob their feet! There was a fairly big sea horse display too. We had gotten a ticket to go behind the scenes and se...

Day 38: 7/2/13 This morning was a sleep in- we didn't have to leave until 8!! We drove for an hour first so we could sleep even more! We stopped at a Rainforest to do a little walk- only about 15 minutes. We saw some big trees. Apparently Australia used to have trees way bigger than the sequoia and redwood in America but they were chopped down. The trees we saw were obly about 30/40m but they looked impressive. The older trees that they cut down were 157m tall!...
