On the flight from Australia to Fiji. I sat next to a Fijian woman who started warning me about bringing water to the islands otherwise I would get charged loads. She was also talking about people trying to con foreigners. Always a good advertisement for the island :) I got the flight and landed about 6am and met Charlie who was English and staying in the same hostel. She was doing an internship for 4 months in Fiji doing some marine biology. We waited an hour an...

I had a bit of a nightmare trying to find my tram to my hostel and ended up walking around for an hour almost with my backpack on my back..not fun at all :( Sweaty and tired I got to Habitat and it was a lovely hostel.

On the Friday I went to Bungalow 8 on the Kings street wharf with Geraldine, Jess, D...

The next day I was up early to get my bus to Byron Bay. I have heard great things about it and also the Arts Factory where I was staying so I was really excited. Its a gorgeous coastal town with cute little shops and the beach is amazing. Honestly I know I say this alot but there are so many lovely places to go to and its just stunning. I had to wait a while to check in which was irritating but the hostel is very funky. There is a camp ground, tepes, tents and ot...
