Hello!! Well, we made it to Cairns! It's so nice to be out of the city, although saying that, we did have a great time in Sydney really. Our last night (Tuesday) we met up with Max - for the last time boohoo!!!!! The Dark Restaurant is no longer in Sydney as far as we could tell, so we went to King's Cross for a delicious and much craved curry - it was all you can eat, so it was very much like Homer Simpson had come to town threefold...!After dins, we went t...

They have all become our drinking buddies and today is one of those days we are recove...

Well, we arrived in Hobart yesterday, Sam's already fallen in love with the place - Nicky was already smitten with it (!) I think the last time we blogged though, we were in Melbourne still, it was probably Monday?? We went to St Kilda Festival on Sunday and spent the day wondering around the sideshows etc, but were so shattered from the previous night that we got home early and pretty much crashed!! The next day, we checked out of Cooee on St Kilda and checke...
