Yay - I made it to Bangkok!The 9 hour flight seemed to drag - We had some excitement when we took off - the oxygen masks on the seat in front on me came down! For a minute I thought we might crash but all was ok. Landed around 11pm and finally made it to the hotel for midnight. The taxi driver was a crazy fool - there were no seatbelts in the cab so I was hanging onto the seat for dear life! Love the room - it's huge and you can fit about 4 people in the bed ...

Hey all, I'm back in Sydney for my last 2 days in Australia. Left Alice Springs on Monday arvo. I was pleased about leaving because the hostel didn't have any hot water and I was getting fed up with cold showers! The flight from Alice to Sydney was only 3 hours. Barely enough time to get comfy.

Friday 13th eek!Got picked up at 6.15 for my 3 day 2 night tour to Uluru (used to be known as Ayers Rock but has now gone back to it's aboriginal name) Back in Brisbane when I booked the tour all those weeks ago I opted for the safari in style - boy was I glad I paid the extra money.

G'day all, I'm now a fully fledged Aussie having spent 3 days touring through the bush.I left Cairns at 6am on Tuesday morning and boarded the bus which was going to be my transport for the next 3 days. Got settled onto the bus. It was a 42 seater but there are only 11 of us on board - excellent. Lots of room to spread out. We were going to be travelling to Alice Springs and taking a route totalling 2,400km! We'd best get going! We headed out to the Athero...

The hostel in Port Douglas (or P. Dougie as I like to call it!) is lovely. I even have a real bed! Hurrah, no more bunkbeds.My roomies in this hostel are crazy. There is a lesbian called Lisa who is mental. Was a bit worried about her mental state to start off with but once she got talking I realised she was just a little bit loopy and quite funny. She also has the hairiest arm pits I have ever seen!! Had to check out of my room on Saturday morning and go i...
