I had a lovely evening last night with Lisa and her boyfriend John. We had dinner at a little restaurant by the beach in Coogee. I had my first $5 meal! Bargain! I met with Adam at lunchtime - was so good to see him after four weeks! We went back to the hostel and dropped off his bags and went into the city for lunch and then onto Wicked Travel to book our accommodation for the first week in New Zealand. We had a look at some tours we want to do too but we'll bo...

I wasnt very well last night so I was in bed pretty early - 7pm actually! I woke up at 10pm, and had completely lost my voice. Andy looked after me though and gave me some tablets and some water. I think i may have been dehydrated too, which was not good. Im okay now though. I woke up at 8am this morning and had a shower before heading out into the city to meet Lisa for lunch. Its the first time Ive seen her for three years, so it was so good to see. She treated...

I finally got into my dorm at 14:00. It was so strange to be back staying somewhere I was a month ago!

You will see what I mean by the pictures, although they dont do h...

We travel through the Lewis Pass, where you are surrounded by snowcapped mountains (!) and you will even get a chance to meet the cheeky locals ''Kea'', which are mountian parrots n...

Falling down the toilet on the bus - TAKE TWO...! Yes, it happened AGAIN! I thought Id give the toilet a second chance, because I was on a fourteen hour bus trip from Byron Bay to Sydney last night. What are the chances of it happeneing again?! I couldnt believe it, although I must admit that I did laugh when I was down the hole! I can honestly say, that I would rather have a 24 hour flight to Australia than do a night bus for fourteen hours again! They are kin...
