Welllll!!!!!!! Its getting a bit repetative telling everyone over and over what were doing, that sounds so rude, were not being, but just thought this would be easier for you all to read.
So. We arrived here very early morning on Monday. Knackered already by this point with a whole day ahead planned. We moocehd around Coogee (where were staying) met people in our group, moved into our room and then was met by our group leader Trent for our first activity. Jet boating! Awesome!! Was such a good experience, got a little chilly when the sun went behind a cloud and we were soaking! Well worth it though. Walked around Botanical gardens too! Got back and had tea, made it till about 7pm before we actually couldnt physically keep our eyes open so headed off to bed.
Up pretty early the next morning, not the quietest of places! And the sun is pretty bright. Went on the ferry round to the aquarium which was pretty impressive. We found Nemo!!! Flic got rather excited by this. Also with the ferry across because it was called Charlotte. Bless- small things for small minds :P shes not reading this right now haha! At night we went to a local bar/club - The Gaff. Free meal and 2 free drinks! Quite a drunken night!!! There was a wet t shirt competition that one of the girls from our group entered - very funny!!!
Wednesday we went surfing. Very interesting as you can imagine. Dear me. Neither of us stood up. We both could stand up on sand!!!! How impressive. Flic has found muscles she never realised she had (and has also just felt them again and been amazed by herself!) But yes, Flic did better than I did, I think I managed to get onto the bloody baord about twive, and those were both with help. All you Kos lot know why.. the lilo incident. Flic was a hell of alot better. Was a very funny day though. So tired by the end of it, so another early night!
On Thursday we were driven to Bondi Beach, chilled there for a bit before taking the coastal walk back nearer to us. Walked through a graveyard which was a little freaky!! People in there must have been extreemely rich though, there were fmaily vaults!! Arrived at our little beach area and had a bbq there, very nice! This is all Flic- We didnt just see a graveyard on this walk! There was beautiful scenery of the beaches around us.. (see fb for pictures) and passed many little secluded bays including Bronte beach and Mackenzies bay! Until we arrived at our small little cove type beach to be met by Mark for a lovely bbq! woop. We then tried snorkelling, but couldnt see a thing except sand!! Not impressed, but we have 2 more trips planned for that later on which will be better up North.
Friday was by far the best day! Amazing!! Went to Blue Mountains, did some mountain trekking, whilst walking through, our leader "Smokey" was telling us all about the deadly snakes and spiders that live in there. Thanks for that!! But we made it out. Then, just to nicely end the day, we trek down to the very bottom of the mountains, going down the steepest steps we have ever seen! Before going up the steepest railway in the world. Honest to god, so so scary. Amazing, but, actually nearly weed!! Flic was exahusted by the end, she said she has never ever been that tired in her life. (Katie was tired too!!!!!)
Today is Saturday. Day off. Have planned the rest of our trips and now feel sick with the amount we have just paid. Its not fully sorted with dates and stuff yet, but will be by monday. But basically we are heading up the East coast. Doing Fraser Island and Whitsundays. Magnetic Island. White water rafting. Outer reef trip snorkelling. Cape tribulation which is a rainforest trip and we will do jungle surfing!! So excited for that. Then were heading inland on a 10day trip seeing all the red centre, including Ayres rock, alic springs, a little underground town! This takes us down to Melbourne over the great ocean road. Hoepfully fit New Zealand in at the end, all depending on money really!!!
So, hope we havent bored you too much. Feels very weird just writing all about us and asking no questions!! How are you all?!! Were missing you lots. Keep in touch, we will send postcards soon- if we can afford the stamps! haha. We will go without food for the day to send you them though- arent we good friends. Oh ok, no, Flic says she wont! I will! :)
Speak to you all soon!
Love from the people down under! xx
