Our last week in Tweed was spent going out drinking and eating...much like the other 4 weeks. We started the week off by going out with Lea in Surfers which was really fun as she knew the places to go. We met up with her boyfriend Erik who dj's in Shooters nightclub (that is Shooters not Hooters!). The following day we chilled at her place before driving up to Brisbane in the evening to stay with Matt and Tess who we met in Thailand. We caught up over pizza a...

We decided to go to Wet n Wild as my Auntie managed to get us both a free pass. It was good fun but really busy as the schools still hadn't gone back, so ended up waiting a while for the main rides. The next day Bill & Laura took us to Marina Mirage just outside Surfers. We went to the Versace hotel and checked out all the cool boats in the marina before heading back home to a local mexican for dinner. Later that week we went to Springbrook National Park...

Our first stop was Chinatown where we went for an authentic lunch called Yum Cha...Chinese style dumplings, along with the usual chinese dishes. The place where we went serves the food as soon as you sit down. The waiters b...

After another long bus journey we arrived early at Tweed Heads to stay with Jo's Auntie & Uncle (Bill & Laura).

After being briefed on the way in, you go into a themed bar, then there is a ghost train into the theatre where you are seated at tables for dinner. We w...

We arrived in Sydney on the 8th Dec in the rain! We stayed at a hostel for a couple of nights before meeting up with Jo's cousin, Ali. She and her boyfriend both work for Emirates as flight crew and managed to put us up in a hotel for 3 nights - thanks guys! We spent the 3 days eating, drinking and catching up. We were brought down to earth when we arrived at our hostel in Glebe the next night. We were sharing with 4 other people staying in bunkbeds. It final...
