When we arrived in Surfers we didnt have any accomodation sorted so we went into the information centre and booked into Surfers Paradise Backpacker Resort for 2 nights. The hostel was really nice with a tennis court in the middle area and a bar area that played really good music. I was waiting outside the room for Vicky when I saw someone walking across the court that I recognised. I said to Vicky that I'm sure that I just saw Peter Hill and she was like really...

We felt awful for him cos we had all been waiting all day for the bus and he had to go back to the h...

We were in group A with Emily from Bath and Kat from Surrey, Richard and Steven from Scotland, Jose from France (or frenchie as we called him as we didnt know how to say his name), Ell from Italy and Ann ...
