Hi all, Great to hear from some of the Access crew namely ADM & Helen. You'll be glad to hear the beard has gone. That was just the lazy traveller in me for a bit!

Its very relaxed with an easy going atmosphere and I am delighted to say I am staying in a great place called the pirates backpackers. Its clean, th...
