Matty Bum Bum! I'm having an awesome time, even in the pissing rain. Love it out here. I'm currently sat at Sydney airport waiting to fly to New Zealand - you know, that place you said I'd need a taser and a rape alarm?! Challenges will be good - I'll have a car too but I'm not doing anything illegal!! I'm a bit behind on my blog, been too busy not giving a sh*t and enjoying myself! ;-) I'll get it up to date soon. That's my dad by the way - he'll be made up that you assumed he was younger though! Speak soon! x

Hi Nicky, sounds like a blast. I've only read a few page so far and it seems to be amusing to say the least.

I assume no rabid locals encounted thus far!?

I will think up some challenges for you to do, to amuze those of us reading your blog. I agree with your brother (at least I assume he is your brother), that the accommodation is far too refined for a backpacking trip.

I can garauntee the weather with you is better than here. Rain and thunder....oh the joy.

Anyway, I wont be rude as I see your mum is watching. Enjoy. X

I saw it and had to send it. Glad it made it. Sydney looks awesome - I'll try and find time to update this while I'm here. I'll try and call at some point this weekend too. Laters

Got your 'lazy letter' - Quality! - thanks - enjoy Sydney before the respite of NZ

Hi Alice!
I know they're not very interesting to read but glad they're making you laugh! I have food photos for Ravi, just haven't added them yet as it takes so long! I'm having an amazing time though :-) Held a koala this morning, very cute but stink to high heaven!
Sorry to hear you need your cankle dealt with - you'll do anything for a bit of time off work!! ;-) Well I'll come and visit you when I'm back and unemployed! Take care and I'll speak to you soon! x

Hi Nicky,
I've been catching up with your blog and have just recovered from laughing about some of your experiences ... how are the cankles??? Just to update you, I've got to have a little op on my "cankle" and am on the waiting list!! Keep on having an amazing time and I'll look forward to reading more of your blogs soon. Bye for now
Alice xx

I dunno where the map is showing me going, I can't see it from my map. The last few days have been amazing but we head to a cattle farm tomorrow, back with the bugs. You learn to take the rough with the good and appreciate the good stuff so much more!! Sorry I haven't rung, actually, no I'm not, you know I'm alive. I'll call again when I'm bored. Love you all lots! :-) x
P.S. been at a pool party tonight and a bit pissed. Peace out cub scout

I thought going travelling meant 'roughing it a bit' mind you following you on the map - the last coach journey looks pretty scary !!

just read your last blog. I am so pleased to hear your comments at last, you sound so very happy. Keep enjoying every single second. lots of love xxx

It pains me to admit it... but I think you may just possibly be having a better time over there than I am over here, right now.
"bush tea".... heh heh... (slurp)

Constable, you wrote in my leaving card not to give you the link coz you wouldn't be interested. So I didn't! You'd only give me abuse and take the piss anyway ;-)
Guys I fly to Cairns tomorrow so hopefully I'll have proper wifi connections and I can get rid of my blogging constipation! Having THE best time ever, speak to you all on the other side! x

Yeah cheers for saying goodbye. Had to get Aimee to send me the link to your blog so I can help myself sleep. Wasn't even added to work email and given link to blog! Out of order. Watch out for the spiders, snakes, crocs, jellfish and sharks.
