Hey guys, Last blog post....boohoo...:( Well we landed in Los Angeles from Hawaii and made our way to our hostel which was in Venice Beach. We went into Hollywood the next day and did the walk of fame (pre-jacko) and the Hollywood sign. We also went down to Venice beach and watched the Muscle men and girls in bikinis roller-blading (you guess which i preffered looking at). But overall there isn't much you can do in terms of being a tourist in LA most people jus...

Wow! Queensland has been amazing the only thing which let us down a little was the weather but even then we don't mean rain but just a few clouds! We flew into Cairns (as that seems to be the only way to travel here) and booked oursleves straight onto a liveaboard (living on board a boat) scuba diving trip over the great barrier reef! It was really good even though the visibility down there wasn't the best due to the wind making things a little choppy. We were sw...
