06/06/2005 : Hooray!! We're finally here in Fiji. We arrived at 1pm, however we havent seen the sun yet. The humidity is quite bad though but we've got a fan in our room so we should be alright. The hotel where we are staying is quite nice. It isnt really in the town centre though so we arent going to really venture out on our own as it doesnt seem to be that safe. Hopefully we are going to be booking a tour of the surrounding islands tomorrow for later in the we...

We checked into our hostel which is really nice. Its called the Maze Backpackers and its right in the city, just 15 mins walk from the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge! We had a look around Darling Harbour last night and spent most of today walking around the city and finding our bearings. So far ...

07/05/2005 :We arrived safe and sound in Melbourne this afternoon. The weather is a bit rubbish - but Melbourne itself is strangely similar to Manchester!! We spent most of the evening just seeing what was around St Kilda (the area where we are staying) and seeing what bars/pubs/restaurants there are for us to sample during the week. Our hostel is quite nice. We've got our own room with a sink in it and its right next door to a bathroom so we've got it made reall...
