Day 4 Oz: 6/9/12 Had another lovely lazy day- this is the life!! Was tidying up my clothes and stuff in the morning. Then settled back to watch some Geordie Shore. I hadn't seen any of Cancun so I have a lot of catching up to do. Shane collected me after work and brought me to his house. It's lovely- really big! There's a pool out the front, big massive tv and sitting room, another kind of lounge area upstairs with a playstation. They are well sorted! He cooked...

Day 3 Oz: 5/9/12 Finally had a good sleep last night. Despite Shell waking me up! Good to chat to ya tho! Didn't wake til half nine so was delighted! Wasn't long up when the doorbell rang and the box from home was delivered! I had forgotten half the clothes I put in so I had great fun pulling out of it! Also a few little surprises from Mam- tea and chocolate sorted now for me and the lads for a while! Thanks Mam! Spent half the morning sorting all my phone num...

Day 2 Oz: 4/9/12 Woke at 4am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. This time difference has me all over the shop. I was wrecked but still couldn't sleep! Went to the city today.

I just walked around Queen Street really and did some shopping. I needed a few bits and pieces. I set up a bank account ...

Day 1 Oz: 3/9/12 Didn't sleep much last night. Think I got about an hour! I woke early enough and got up and had tea with Mike before he went off to work. I skyped home for a few minutes. Then I went back to bed for a while, but still didn't sleep! My body is obviously in South American time which meant it was day time! Eventually I gave up trying to sleep and just got up! I had a shower, had breakfast, checked up Facebook and emails and stuff. Then I uploaded...

Day 63 & 64: 1 & 2/9/12 (Day 0 Oz) Santiago-Sydney-Brisbane Got up bright and early to get myself ready for the long flight. Still felt rushed though when it was time to get the taxi. The taxi driver had no English but was killed trying to show me the sights- like the train station and a big massive glass building that I was told was 'school police'. Had plenty of time at the airport but needed most of it as there were long queues for check-in. There h...
