25/05/09 The bus got in at half 5 and we were all pretty tired. We got a taxi from the greyhound terminal back to Banana Bungalow on Fairfax and Melrose. When we got there we just dumped our stuff in the communal area and all laid out on the sofas. The same guy as before was sat in exactly the same position doing the same thing, chatting on skype. It was a nightmare, he was having the most boring conversation with some guy called John. He seemed to be trying to ...

22/05/09We boarded the bus but didn't manage to sit next to each other. I ended up sitting next to a fairly plump man and was a little worried that I would end up leaning on him if I fell asleep. Luckily I was woken up at 3 when the driver slapped the lights on and I was sitting up straight with my head perfectly in line with my body. The driver had decided to stop off at another burger place and we watched as a french guy tried to charge up his laptop so he coul...

18/05/09 Was woken up by Helen at 10 past 6 so I jumped out of bed and packed the rest of my stuff in the dark trying not to wake up the other 2 backpackers in the room.

When I got through to the woman I asked her where the cab was and she said she'd fin...

14/05/09 We disembarked the plane and said our final goodbyes to Kat. We then carried our heavy bags a couple of blocks to a parking lot where we were bundled in to the back of a van and drived to Banana Bungalow on Fairfax. We spent a little while sorting out the washing, I ended up falling asleep before it had finished and woke up at about 7 when the hostel started cooking burgers. They were rank, just like McD's burgers. Laura and I watched Me Myself and Iren...

04/05/09I spent most of the time on the plane attempting to get comfortable enough to sleep but had no luck. I ended up bashing in to Laura on multiple occasions and waking her up. We landed at about 2 and then spent an eternity waiting for Pat to use the toilet at the airport in Nadi as his in-flight meal had disagreed with him. It was 2am and we were in shorts and T-Shirts again! We all bundled in to a mini-van with a most of the rest of the passengers on the f...
