Hey guys!!!

Well where to start!! As iv'e started this late I will very briefly run over Melbourne!! I was really ill when we arrived and good ol Mike looked after me like a trooper taking me to the zoo and the aqaurium...Melbourne is fantastic city but not much to do in the evenings...hence why one evening we ended up going bowling!! I haven't beaten Mike at anything yet...and this includes hundreds of games of pool and table tennis!! Also fisrt accomodation was pretty depressing...had everything you could want - if you were in prison!! Cell like room with bunk beds...whole bed would shake if Mike moved...bloody hilarious!!

We spent a week in Melbourne - weather was weird, cold in mornings and roasting in afternoons - once we got used to the trams (which we never paid for and are now probably on Melbourne's most wanted list) we managed to find a beach!! Thats when the holiday really started!!

Decided we had had enough of Melbourne about a week later so booked our trip to Sydney on the Oz Experience bus...what a trip!! 3 days of travel with 2 nights stop over!! Met some great people on the bus includint a scottish guy who we then stayed in Sydney with for a while. First day we stopped at this place called Wilsons Prom - amazing beaches and a bit of a hike. Bus driver told us not to worry about the poisonous snakes as there were only a few and it's only the babies that bite as they can't control it...oh great...try not to step on those then!! Managed to get some amazing strap marks including a bag strap mark across my chest - sexy!!!

Stopped in a little town where im pretty sure the Hills have Eyes could have been set - even our bus driver told us to look out for the worrying number of occupants with one lazy eye!!

Stayed at Lakes Entrance over night and has shark and chips for dinner!! Me and mike were lucky enough to get our own room!! We were both nakered as had to get the coach a 6am and Mike fell asleep as soon as we got to the room...at 8pm!! We're so rock and roll!!

Next day another early start - drove to town called jindabyne where we stopped and mike and I tried our hand at Wake-boarding!! This is the only thing I have been better than Mike at all holiday so far!! Was pretty cool as it was a fresh water lake so no threat of Sharks or salt water crocs!!!

Then back on coach and headed into the snowy mountains - and yes there was snow and I was wearing flip flops!! Well they didn't tell me!!
We were supposed to do a 10km hike but Mike and I made it about 2 and a half and decided we had seen all the snowy mountains we wanted and decided to head back to the bus...I wasn't embarrassed until the 50 year old couple over took us on the climb back up to the coach!!

This night we stayed at a nice hostel and had massive steaks for dinner - only downer was sharing a dorm with 8 other people - one of whom snored so loud I thought a train was going past and another whom Mike caught....how shall I say, erm....pleasuring himself!!! Seriously men have no shame!!

Anyway - next day got up...slightly mentally scarred...and continued journey to Canberra where we stopped for a quick look round the parliament houses - Canberra pretty boring though - Famous for the 3 p's....Porn, Pyrotechnics and Politics (laws about pron and fireworks really slack in this town)...yeah so basically loads of government officials sitting round watching porn playing with fireworks and making life changing decisions!! Mad country!!

Arrived in Sydney about 6ish on saturday and decided it was time for a night out. Got to hostel and Mike and I had been split up - I was in room of 6 and not happy about being on my own - until I got to the room and found I was sharing with one guy from London and his 2 hot aussie mates from Melbourne!! They invited me and mike out straight away and gave us a jd and coke so obvioulsy we were immediatole friends.

Spent the next day with our new mates and travelled over to Manly beach which was amazing - got some awesome views of the bridge and opera house on the way.
Decided we wanted some more beach time so booked a hostel down in Bondi right by the beach...both of us got burnt and had to layer on the aftre sun!
Hostel in Bondi was pretty horrific - in room of 8 and there was peoples stuff all over the floor - never slept in a room so hot before and every time you went out and came back in you had to get used to the smell of old trainer again!!
Found an amazing bar in Bondi that was all sofas and candles with live singers so spent 2 nights in there.

Left Bondi now to come back to the city. Hostel had b*****ed up our booking and put us in a room of 4 with no window so you couldn't tell if it was day or night but thankfully that has been rectified and me and mike now have own room with actual window that opens!!

We were taken out for lunch by one of my uncle type figures over here on business...went to an amazing fish place right on the beach at a place called Watsons bay! Now in internet cafe writting to you lot - gonna go on an opera house tour today so will write again soon when we have more to report!!!
