25/01/09Up early yet again to rush around and stuff everything in to our bags as quickly as possible to get the 0935 Greyhound. Said bye to my shorts...a very sad day for me. Pat and Rich got a pie and a sausage roll, they stole a spoon so Coops could have a rice yoghurt thing I got hungry and had to get an apple, Helen managed not to eat anything, I think she must have been secretly snacking on chocolate. The greyhound stopped after about an hour and wouldn't st...

22/01/09Got up and walked to the kitchen to try and find some food in the free food fridge for breakfast. Jackpot! I found a whole loaf of wholemeal bread and some coles own brand butter, so I had 4 slices of toast and stole the rest of the bread. Went back to the room and packed all my stuff away then we checked out before going to PeterPans to get half an hour of free internet. The place wasn't open until 10am so Pat and I waited in the lobby studying a map of ...

19/01/09Had my first proper shower since being in the Sleeping Inn, the shower is s***! The water from the hot tap is literally boiling as it comes out and it comes out in such a thin powerfull jet that it feels like its slicing you in half when you're under it.

We took the free limo to the bus terminal eve...

16/01/09Woke up at 9 and checked out early to get in the queue for the free van ride to the greyhound terminal. Sat on the floor for an hour waiting for the van driver to arrive, we needn't have got there so early because no one else showed up wanting to get on the bus. Got the greyhound to Surfers Paradise which we thought would only take 1 hour 15 but we drove across the Queensland border and the clocks went back an hour, so we all got to spend an extra unexpec...

13/01/09The alarm went off at 5am and we knew it was time to get up and pack whatever wasn't in a bag into a bag again. It's starting to become a chore living out of a bag, constantly digging to the bottom to find stuff and squeezing it all back in again. I've just been living off the top layer for the past couple of weeks because I can't be bothered to dig further down. The girls were panicing that the guy that offered us a ride to the greyhound wasn't going to ...
