Once again it was another early start, we were up at 6.15am and once ready we got a taxi over to Jayne's lovely apartment (complete with a much needed, and over the next day or two, a much used washing machine and dryer!). She smuggled us in (we were staying with her for a couple of nights) and kindly supplied us with fruit, cereal bars and coffee for breakfast before we hijacked her tour for the day! For free we were able to spend the day together and our first...

After being woken up at 5am by all the other people in our dorm who were off on their safari we had a rare lie-in - which meant getting up at just after 7.00am! We enjoyed our breakie then took our time re-packing and getting ready before our 10.00am check out time. After we had stored our bags we headed into the town, calling for a photo stop and looking in the souvenir shops. Our first main port of call was Anzac Hill. We made the trek, in the 40 degree heat, u...

What an amazing 3 days! We started on Wednesday morning by getting up at 5.00am, along with the majority of our dorm. After a breakie of toast an jam we headed outside at 5.50am to await our pick up. After about 20 minutes there was still no sign of the bus! We started to panic, however the lady on reception called the agency who assured us they had our booking and at 6.30am a flustered guide arrived and our safari began! After leaving Alice Springs we drove for...

Sunday morning we awoke at 5.30am in order to be ready for the 6.30am Skybus to the airport. We checked in with no problems and had a McDonalds breakfast of orange juice and Raisin toast before our flight left on time at 9.15am. Sarah slept a bit of the way whilst Laura was just too excited about meeting her mum! We landed on time at 10.35am and got a taxi direct to our Sydney Central hostel. Unfortunately we were too early to check in so we dumped our bags in t...

Yesterday we got up earlyish and headed straight down to the kitchen, in our pj's, for our complimentary breakfast and caught the tram to St Kilda, to meet Kel and Stace for a few hours on the beach. We arrived by 10.15am, met the girls and headed straight for the beach, a short walk away. The weather was gorgeous, just the right temperature - late twenties and the sea was ice cold - ideal for a cool off. We enjoyed our beach chillax and before we knew it, it was...
