My Birthday Weekend As you well know ;o), it was birthday on the weekend of the 15th and 16th July and did I celebrate in style!!! I shared my birthday morning with my house mates Catherine and Graham - by strange coincidence, Catherine and I discovered that only do we share a house, but a birthday too! For breakfast, we dined on patisseries and luscious jams bought from the local French cafe conveniently located just around the corner. By the end of the da...

Well G'day! Get me, I am a right littl' city worker now. I have been working at Worley since the 3rd July - that is over a week now! I have spent my first two weeks in Perth staying in the Ocean Beach backpackers in Cottesloe, mainly shopping for work clothes, doing some sight seeing, trying to find a home, chillin' with fellow travellers and by the beach. Jess and I took a trip to Freemantle, or Freo as the Ozzies say. It is very popular here to s...

Perth Rocks! We arrived in Perth nice and early in the morning, (although we lost 6 hours along the way) and headed to our backpackers in Cottesloe, which is about 5km south-west of the city centre.

Chillin' in Nelspruit for a few days before we fly to our next country, Australia. We were dropped off in Nelspruit after the Safari with the intention to spend a day in the Blyde Canyon. Since the Safari included a trip to the canyon, we have decided to relax and sort ourselves out ready for our trip to Oz. As of 5.30am tomorrow, we shall be on our way to Perth - all very exciting. Hope you are well. I shall pop some more pictures of South Africa ...

Wow! The Kruger Park Safari was just amazing! Since leaving Durban, we spent virtually two days travelling on the Baz Bus, stopping in a great hostel in Swaziland on the way. We met some good fun people in Johannesburg, where we intended to relax ready for our 5am Safari pickup. But no, by 7.30pm we were in an Irish Bar drunk as skunks and singing "Raining Men" on the Kareokee. A hilarious night, and did we feel it the next day! By 2pm on Thursday, we h...
