Australia is awesome! While in Sydney we met up with some people who Tasha knows through her best mate and ended up having an authentic Aussie barbeque and stayed at their house. This family were the nicest and most generous people and we stayed up to the early hours drinking champagne! Rhia got incredibly drunk and did another one of her amazing falls on to ceramic floor, taking 3 other people with her! We have also met up with my cousin, Sarah who lives in...

They also apply this clay-like stuff to your face and it is really horrible be...
