East Coast Australia

We have been in Australia for a month now and are home in a week! We have been to Fraser Island and had a go at driving some 4x4's and also got to see Lake McKenzie.We did a castaway trip in 1770, where we camped on the beach for the night and the next day got a scenic flight over Middle Island,with a pilot called Bruce! One of the best things we have done in OZ! We got back from the castaway trip and then lovely Mike turned up and proposed to Alicia! All very exciting! Next stop was Kroombit, a cattle station where we learnt to Lasoo and crack wips, also having a go at the bucking bronco! Not so good at that! Then onto Airlie Beach where went on our boat the Boomerang for a tour of the Whitsundays. It was brilliant, helped out with the sailing and saw Whales and Dolphins. Whitehaven Beach was beautiful! We did a quick stop at Magnetic Island and now we are in Cairns! Yesterday we went to Cape Tribulation, the weather was rubbish but we had some good ice cream!!!!! Tomorrow we are off for a snorkeling trip and then onto Hong Kong where we shall be stocking up on fake designer goods!!!! x

Australia!

We are currently in Noosa in Australia! It's lovely! We are staying in a hostel called Flashpackers(apparently this means upmarket backpackers!) and its AMAZING! The nicest hostel we have stayed in so far! When we were in Sydney it absolutely poured it down with rain, but we got to do some wine tasting in the Hunter Valley! Lovely! We have been to surf camp, spotted some hippies in Byron Bay, and celebrated Alicia's graduation in Cheeky Monkey's, a very well deserved 2:1 in Public Relations. We bought her a cap as a present, so she had to wear it out and this meant she had to partake in the silly backpacker games. The hat resulted in Alicia seeing how many pegs she could put on Kim's face. Possibly one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. We spent a day at the beach and had a night out in Surfers Paradise, saw Koalas and fed Kangeroos in Brisbane and done lots of walking in Noosa aswell as spying all the rather lovely houses! We also went to a farmers market and ate all the tasters. We are off to Rainbow Beach tomorrow and then onto Fraser Island for a bit of 4x4 driving! Also............It's a few days early Sorrel I know but HAPPY 21ST!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

So finally managed to upload a few pictures! They are of general scenery, our themed night of 'tight and bright', Queenstown, the Franz Josef Glacier, cocktails in teapots and the legend that is the Fergburger, the best thing we have ever eaten! Currently in a very random hostel in Christchurch and leaving for Oz tomorrow! x

New Zealand!

So my old memory card wont work so not that many pics from Thailand! New memory card does however work! A few pics of scenic New Zealand and please check our facebook pages for comedic pictures of sky diving! I will try and upload some later! These were taken in Taupo New Zealand! It is so cold we are wearing about 6 layers! x

Bye Thailand, Hello New Zealand!

So we have been in Thailand for just over two weeks now. We have been to the North, Bangkok and th South Islands, Koh Samui and Koh Tao. Koh Tao was the best where we went snorkelling and had cocktails on the beach! Amazing! We have been tubing and fed monkeys at Koh Sok National Park and seen all the temples in the ridiculously hot Bangkok! We also took a day trip to Ayuttaya, the old capital of Thailand and stayed in an amazing hotel which we had booked ages ago, we all had the best nights sleep in the whole time we have been here! We were with Gap Adventures for most of the trip which was really good as we had our own guide and met some fab people, and worthwhile considering all the political riots supposedly happening allthough we have not seen anything! We had an amazing guide Tui! Today we fly to New Zealand, very excited! Alicia is desperate to see Sex and the City 2 when we get there! I am trying to upload some pictures but all computers seem to hate me with a passion!
