Tuesday 20th March Journal entry brought to you by (a soaking wet) Tami Today was an awesome day! Rich drove me, Sophie, Chris and Emma to Palm Beach in his hippified VW van (yes mum, there were seatbelts before you pass out, I know you’re scared of those vans). Palm Beach is where Home and Away is filmed, which meant nothing to me as I don’t watch it, but Emma nearly passed out from the excitement of seeing Summer Bay, and I think Chris has an unheal...

Journal brought to you by SophieMonday 19th March Today was a very exhilarating day as we were attempting the Harbour Bridge Climb. When Tami and I had booked the experience for the Monday we nearly kicked ourselves because the celebrations of the bridge were being held on the Sunday.

We had a good long walk to the station (I tell you, I don’t need to do any other exercise beca...

Friday 16th March Today we had to go and collect our Chinese visas. For all those people that may be panicking (like my mother) that we had gone to some dodgy shop in a hovel to get them, we didn’t. It is all very legit I promise. For one the shop was right outside the Chinese Embassy with a big sign on it proclaiming that you could get your visas there and for some strange reason I don’t think that they would do that right outside the official build...
