Date: 14th July 2011 Place: Kota Kinabalu Weather: Sunny Not much to report today. I was basically using my spare day to sort out loads of things like my trips in Australia and New Zealand and my timetable so that I knew I could fit everything in. It took agessss and I only had a break to go out and buy some lunch. I did get to skype Mum and Lauren for a while which was really good. By the time evening came around I had been using my brain so much that I c...

Date: 14th August 2011 Place: Uluru Weather: Sunny Ben woke us up at 5.15am by turning on all the lights. For the second day in a row I woke up when it looked exactly the same outside as when I went to sleep.

It was a long drive to our first stop but we saw a ...

Date: 12th August 2011 Place: Alice Springs Weather: Sunny Amy and another girl in my room were both leaving at 5am but I pretty much slept straight through them getting up. I woke up at 7.30 though when someone was hoovering outside my door!! I started speaking to Lauren on Skype then and finally sorting out my bus pass. There isn't much to do in Alice Springs that you don't have to pay a fortune for and since Ive already ridden camels and quad bikes I...

Date: 11th August 2011 Place: Cairns Weather: Sunny We had to get up early again today! I just want a lie in for once! Laura caught her bus to Cape Tribulation so we had to say goodbye. Im thinking I may go to visit her next year after I go to the Netherlands to see the guys. I got my bus to the airport and then had to sit there for ages doing nothing, I think I went a little too early! I happened to bump into Sianne though who was just coming out of th...
