hi all, well i didnt think i would be on here again before i went to oz but i had to send a few emails to people so i thought i might as well update. iv had a pretty horrible couple of nights, had some major issues with a few people iv been sharing a dorm with (5 mexicans that know one another) and any thoughts that i might like to go to mexico have been scrapped for a few years coz each time i hear the language i will think of the girls in my room - anyway i got that sorted this morning after two sleepless nights (i was very moody, lol) and im now in a different room. i supose ive been lucky not to have any problems before now as i am over 2 months into my trip but im hoping it doesnt happen again. so after id sorted that i went up the catherdral tower and to the art gallery, the arts centre, the museum and the botanical gardens so all in all its been quite a productive day im just really tired and looking forward to going to bed tonight. thank you to everyone thats emailed me in the last couple of days, i was feeling bit fed up coz i was so tired and the emails really cheered me up, the pics of the wedding are great carol - when are they back from honeymoon? hope you get better soon lara! shaz it was great to talk to you, thanks for answering at that time of night! love to you all! gem xxx
