On the road with Mum and Jen and loving it. We spent a few days in Sydney doing the touristy sites and meeting with a few friends which was brilliant. Saw all the great views of the opera house and the bridge, and trust me its amazing. Had a few very nice meals and it makes a bit of a difference from my usual pasta or two-minute noodles so appreciating every piece of non home brand food. After our time in Sydney we rented out a car (£10 a day!) and set of...

Have arrived in the capital and have already seen the Harbour Bridge (passing on the bus). The bus ride here was, to put it mildly, rubbish. 12 hours of discomfort with only two films on the trip, the worst part was that the seat i was in seamed to have a few cockroaches underneath so didnt get too much sleep in fear of being crawled over...However the ride is over and im here! I got off the bus to meet Tom, friend from school, at 6:30am so we went for breakfast...

Right now im relaxing in Byron Bay before the 12 hour (yes, 12 hours!) bus journey straight to Sydney.

If i had more time id definatly stay here for longer. Today i m...

I met with Beth late afternoon yesterday after she got off work and we went back to her house to meet her 3 flatmates. The house they are living in is amazing and everyone was really ...

Well i leave Noosa tomorrow after a great two weeks here working in the kitchen and generally having a fantatic time. The kitchen work has been really good as iv learnt loads more about cooking and how to use a microwave, a few more recipies to add to my list. As much as it was, i dont think i could ever work full time doing something similiar. The pressure of getting meals out on time, the hassle of complaints and having to constantly multi-task was all a bit to...
