Tuesday Got up in time for free toast for breakfast for the first time, and in plenty time for a free ride to the airport - kindly the lady from the hostel is driving us over there (amusingly she said all the French boys had been talking about whether Nik was a UFC fighter hehe - famous much!). However, this did mean that we got to the airport super early, although Nik likes this. Another girl from our hostel also got a ride with us. She was very nice and had ...

Wednesday Our itinerary for the day was to do some tourist stuff, so we began by walking up to the Botanic Gardens, which were quite nice, but it was a little chilly to appreciate them. We then went on to the National Wine Centre of Australia to see the exhibits. It was a good, informative place and we did some interactive smelling to see what different grapes smelt like, and saw the different grape varieties, and an old vine too. We also were able to make our...

Monday You would think on a day that we spent in entirety on a coach that there would be nothing to write about. You would be mistaken.

Then in the night, when he wanted to get up and go out, he came and purred in Nik's ear and went under the duvet to wake him up and let him out. So ...

Friday Today Hannah was totally wiped out as a result of constantly not sleeping. As such, we laid about, Hannah slept most of the day, and then we had turkey burgers with stilton and apple for dinner - yum. On the plus side, this day of outright laziness did mean Nik could rest his leg and had chance to read the whole manual for the new camera. We also watched some good films which was a nice relaxing end to the day. Saturday Actually managed to get up toda...
