Hiya everyone. Suppose we better start by saying sorry for not writing anything for a while. We've been in Sydney for just over 2 weeks and just haven't got round to it. That's the apology out of the way. We spent our first few days in Sydney sharing a dorm with a really nice Spanish couple, the only downside being the Spanish guys tendency to roam round the dorm in just his slightly too tight fitting underwear.

We thought we'd get in the party mood on New Years Eve with a nice visit to Melbournes old jail, what a creepy place. It was the jail whe...

Happy Christmas readers. We've had a brilliant few days, definitely a Christmas we're not going to forget. Its all been a bit surreal and it hasn't felt particularly Christmassy, its really just been one massive party. The strangeness started on Christmas Eve, Gem was working and I was planning on having an early night, honestly!
