Hey guys, Just a quick note so say that I'm safely in my stop in Singapore. Went out last night with Mel and Nick to a really cool bar where a piano player plays pretty much every tune all night and we all sing along, loudly and badly to it! Getting very drunk seemed like a good idea, until I realised it was three in the morning and the taxi was coming at 5.30! Cue Jenny passed out with two alarms going off and Mel coming to make sure I got the taxi ok and find...

Thought I'd drop a quick note before heading to Thailand. This week has been spent very hungover!! I went to the art exhibition, as promised, and there was a video of a man tap dancing with a dove on his head, confirmed my suspicions that all art is w***y nonsense! Went out with Mel on the thursday night. We took in some awesome views of Sydney over cocktails on the 23rd floor of the Shangri-la hotel and then went to meet Mel's Irish friends. The night was pleas...

I left Byron Bay on Monday at 4.30 in the afternoon. The journey back to Sydney took fourteen hours, and rather than let us sleep (though the coach was prob too uncomfortable to do that) the driver would turn on all the lights at random intervals to get us off the bus fo...

The hippies bought the cheap land and settled in a commune, selling pot to the locals to put their kids through school. The town's reputa...

Hey guys, Well this one is gonna be a big one because I've been really busy this week. Surf camp came to collect us on Monday morning at 8am from central station, it was really tough getting up that early and there was a crazy snorer in the room and a couple 'cuddling' so I didn't feel particularly well rested when I got up at six. Checking onto the bus was reasonably easy and I ended up on a bus with eight other girls and our surf instructor Ben. We rode abou...
