Can't believe how quick this week has gone I really can't. The day to leave Australia has finally come and it feels like I've only just got here. Crazy times. I got all my stuff together and made sure the right stuff was packed in the right bag, last thing I wanted was to be stopped! We got down to check out just before 10. Damien's shuttle left at 10 past so Chris and I waited and said goodbye. He's going on to a months tour of Asia. Quite jealous but glad I'm ...

Thankfully this morning was sunny. I'd arranged to go to Bondi Beach with Rhys and Fiona so was up and ready by 10. Fiona came to my hostel to meet me and we got the tube over to meet Rhys who was already at Bondi Junction waiting for us. Just as we were leaving my hostel, Rob was checking out and flying home so we said our goodbyes - another one bites the dust. From Bondi Junction we got the bus to Bondi Beach. We grabbed a MacDonalds and then took a walk along...

While we were on the coach, I'd planned to meet Rhys on Wednesday and go to the Blue Mountains.

I woke after my awesome sleep to a text from Fiona asking what I fancied doing today and that it was pissing with rain. Hmm, this was going to be interesting.

We made it as far as the end of the road before we dived into a cafe for breakfast. Alan has a rather well pai...

Today was another sad day. Fiona was heading off to the Sheraton hotel to stay with her friend Alan so I'd finally lost all my girly playmates. She went off to drop her stuff off and go on to do the bridge climb. In the meantime, the boys and I trudged round trying to find another hostel. Cue pissed off with bag scenario again. The first one was too expensive so we ended up hiking about half an hour in the opposite direction to stay at Base hostel where some of t...
