Another day of sunbathing! I started to get a tight chest during the day and a bit of a cough, which I think is due to the humidity. At lunchtime Hannah and I went to the Arts Village which is a little complex with a post office, supermarket, gift shops and restaurants. We bought some insect repellent and a bread roll for lunch. Back at the hotel I stayed on my sunbed until around 6pm as I wanted to finish my book, before heading back to the room to change for ...

Free breakfast is served between 7 and 10am here which is good because it gets us out of bed. I filled up on porridge and toast with a view to not eating lunch (a money saving endeavour as opposed an eating disorder). Luckily the sun was kind of out, so we found a sunbed by the pool and just read. It is so relaxing here - we're a short taxi ride from the nearest town and you can't access the nearest resort along the beach, so we're quite isolated, which is a goo...

After a pretty smooth Air Pacific flight to Fiji (I was a bit worried after we got on what was definitely an old plane with very dated 80s livery, so I was pleased to land), we were greeted in the airport by men wearing sarongs with flowers tucked behind their ears - very Polynesian.

Our final day in Australia! We got up early to check out at 9.30am, but then spent the next couple of hours sorting out our laundry and reading in the sun on the terrace. Hannah, Vick and Anna had booked to go on a Neighbours tour to Ramsay Street at 12.30pm, so we got a tram into town and met Anna and Jon at a cafe next door to the Neighbours shop. As Jon and I weren't going on the Neighbours tour, we went to the Disney exhibition at ACMI, the moving image mu...

Today I went on a trip to Phillip Island. My grandma had told me I had to go and see the penguins here so I made sure I booked a trip. The others didn't come with me but I still had a great day! I was picked up at around 10am, and was the first on the bus. The guide was called Lee, and he was training up the driver, Stephen. Lee was really boisterous and definitely keen to make everybody have a 'crazy' day. He was just on the right side of annoying though so he ...
