Ok, so arrived in Bris late on so checked into a hostel and got intouch with a friend for the west coast Amy from leeds (Amy and her brother Dave were traveling,Dave went home,but we are still in touch). So the next night after work Amy met me at the hostel and we took my stuff to her appartment. She shares it with another girl from London and a New Zeland couple, the appartment was a stunning city centre place with a gym, pool and sauna on the ground floor (which i made good use of) and the other people in the appartment were all good fun. We went out a few times and met other friends and i shopped during the day. A couple of days in i met up with Katie from Thailand,and she showed me the sights of the gold coast,had a good laugh about Thailand and our friends Kritina and jen, then we went out for the night with some of her friends (after watching LOST 1st !!). The next day i went back to Bris and to the appartment. Was good to see Amy again and meet her flat mates,we had a stunning sunday and played football and listened to music on their massive balcony, b4 i was dragged to the worst club i have ever been to in my life. The music was like Pulp and every one looked like Jarvis Cocker. The next day i left to a place called Surfers Paradise. Not a great deal to do there so i only spent 3 nights there, looking around and met Katie again. We went to the Casino where she used to work and then to a local bar. Was good to see her again and made me miss the whole gang from Thailand. After Surfers i headded down to Byron bay. will update again soon, sorry its a short one, but im tired. nik xx
