Hi everyone,
Have had a really busy couple of weeks! On tues the 8th I went to Bondi for a couple of days and stayed in hostel right on the beach. It was a really basic hostel called Bondi Backpackers (i think) but I had a room with 3 really nice guys. Spent the days chilling on the beach (and buying a new camera!) and had a nice night out there. chilled out on the wed night though as had to be up at 5am to catch greyhound with Lee, a girl i met here.
Our first stop was Port Macquarie a random litttle town 7 hours north of Sydney. we staryed in a really nice hostel called Ozzy Pozzy's. There is basically nothing to do there so we hired Bikes for the day and cycled round the coast line which was nice although sooo many hills which made it very hard work in the heat. We also went to a Koala hospital for a tour at feeding time which was really nice. You can't touch the Koalas but saw lots of them and learnt alot about Koalas ..did you know they have individual finger prints like humans lol FACT!
on friday the 11th at 01:45am eek we caught the night greyhound from Macquarie to Byron Bay. pssible the most uncomfortable night ever but it saved us having to pay for a nigths accomodation!
We stayed in an amazing hostel in Byron called Backpackers Inn where we met Mathilda and Lotte two danish girls who i am now travelling with. I loved Byron Bay. there isnt that much to do there really but its a v acool chilled out place. We hired Boogie boards one day, bikes another and topped up our tans alot as we have 4 nigths there. The night life was cheesey but fun and had a few really fun nights out. we also did a day trip to Nimbin which is supposed to be the onlt place in australia you can legally buy and smoke weed- its not true though and is very much illegal there. we just walked around and took aload of pictures as is a really random weird place!
From Byron we headed to Surfers paradise for four days on wed the 16th. We didnt like it though! was really underwhelmed by the beach and the weather was rubbish and rained for 2 days. had a fun last night on a bar crawl but apart from that we wernt to keen on it all!!
On sun 20th Mathilda, Lotte, Doug (surrey friend) and I caught the greyhound to Brisbane where we are still now. We really like it here. Have been to the modern art gallery, to the botanical gardens and on a City Cat boat trip .... we are here till tomorrow when are heading to Noosa. we were supposed to go camping but have cancelled that after hearing very bad reviews about it. Long drop toilets, spiders, leeches etc so going to stay in hostel there now instead lol
Hope you are all well, miss you lots but having a great time.
Speak soon
