hello all, just a quick blog....

so moved to coogee, to start my oz intro week, with all the guys I met up with a few times in England with. Having a great time, it's good to have them all here. It was such an effort packing that bloody backpack up at wake up - nightmare!!! ended up with 3 other bags, had to go back and get it all in the evening, and have seriously downsized now, binned a load of my lovely clothes!! but it had to be done! I couldnt get the sodding thing on my back! The hostel is an absolute dive! compared to wake up. so..the first day we had our city orientation, which I had seen all of it already! then we went jet boating around the harbour, opera house etc, which was hysterical, we got drenched and some how my dress ended up around my waist, it was very funny. the second day we went to to darling harbour and to wildlife world (where you will be astonished I went into a butterfly house!! I was absolutely pooing myself but I did it!!) the third day we had a surf school, whioch was so so good, I love surfing, I stodd up loads of times, caught my own waves, and the surf instructors were sooooo hot! we were all drueling over them, especially when one of them poured water all over them in slow motion like a diet coke advert!!! hahaha. the fourth day we went to bondi beach and did the coastal walk, had a bbq and played volley ball (where i nearly broke bones, hitting the ball with everything BUT my hands, I hit it with my head, my chin, my upper arms, but I was quite good at serving!) Me kelly and Kirsty were the only ones that had the balls to get in the water and go snorkelling, because it was a cold cold day. The 5th day we went on a day trip to the blue mountains, which was gorgeous, but sooo many steps and walking, we all cant walk up or down stairs today haha! we saw loads of wildlife, including the funnel web and huntsman spiders-aaaggghh. Tonight we have the route 69 party bus and pub crawl which is going to be messy, I will be bandaging up my toe, as last night welsh carl morgan jumped on my feet, making my toes bleed and my big left toe fall off! it's so sore!. we have the goodbye meal tomorrow at the revolving tower whioch will be nice, and i will eat some kangarooooo!.

So...I have just booked my proper travelling bits and bobs!! I have booked with a load of the girls. we are flying to adelaide, going down the great ocean road to melbourne (do the neighbours tour!) then heading up the east coast, got lots of trips booked, incl surfing, cattle ranch,sailing,4x4 tour, it's going to be brilliant, I cannot wait to get out of Sydney! I'll keep a diary now so I can keep you all updated!

hope your all well, I'll get some photos on when I can. love to you all xxxxx

ps, thanks for the christmas photos jessie, that made me laugh! x
