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...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd do a tiny wee update even though nothing overtly exciting has happened, just because I should imagine contact is going to get quite controversial when I hit Thailand! 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...

So yesterday we went on a day trip to a small town called Nimbin.

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...

Hi all, I think this'll be the last time I update my site for a while as I'm heading out to surf camp early tomo morning. Am very excited about hopefully learning to surf though do NOT expect to see any pictures of me in a wet suit, urgh! Haven't really done much at all in my stay in Sydney, but I figure I've still got a week when I'm back from up the coast. Went out with Aislinn last night and her friend Donal. Got immensely drunk and ended up in Australia's ...
