Davids Entry – 28th July 09…… Wellington to Brisbane, AustraliaI'm typing this on my new "e-book" PC, mid flight from Wellington to Brisbane.…It's a little small for my chubby fingers but excellent for this kind of thing..Shame I cant also post it from here..
I did actually fall asleep the night before we took off…Surprisingly heavy sleep for about 5 hours which wasn’t bad for me even on a normal day…But it wasn’t our normal alarm that aw...
Jills Entry - 28th July 1st Day of the Holiday - The Long trip to the Gold Coast Its always an interesting time getting off a plane and wondering if this will be the day they decide that you look suspicious and you will hear the slap of a rubber glove on skin....but we flew through customs even the dog sniffing us was only thinking "1 x dog, 2 x cats, 0 x drugs" it should go without saying that we don't actually ever carry or do drugs...but always on your mind are the people who say that the ...
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia dinziezDavid's Entry - 29th July Day 2 – Fruit Bats and Driving Through Brisbane. As you may have read in Jill’s entry we discovered that the driving here in and around Brisbane to be noticeably more stressful in a number of ways … The drivers here are far more aggressive.. Using your indicators has an effect of heightening the other drivers aggression.. They will do anything to ensure you do not change lanes or directions as indicated … God help you if you find yourself in t...
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia dinziez(A note before I begin: I don't think that I've sent this to all family and friends, so if you know of anyone who might be interested in the blog, please send it along.) It's been a couple days since I last posted a blog, due to limited (cheap) access to the internet. I'll try to catch up now that I'm in front of a computer. Thursday, the 13th of December, was the day we left Kenmore and headed south to the Gold Coast. This would be our first day without relatives and so we intended to find a...
Surfers Paradise, Australia jaybrotz
... the lounge. It also has a washing machine and dryer so I was able to do some laundry. Headed back over to Pacific Fair where I spent the afternoon, getting lost several times. :L I got chatting to some lovely assistants in shops. The australian people are so genuinely friendly that you always finds someone to have a chat to no matter how random! Walked along ...
Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia anniebananyG'day mates wow what a week! I have had 4 days of none stop partying.. I LOVE IT! Went out Saturday with Hayley again for another night of club crawls and lots of dancing until the sun comes up. Spent Sunday night out with my room mate Gabby, we tried this new funky bar/club called Temple, right on the river front. It reminded me of Society in the old days. Only one problem this week .. the weather is ...
Surfers Paradise, Australia pinklaura123... adventure, I grew used to the massive open spaces of the outback and the total isolation that you can feel on a main thouroughfare, I even relished in it. So I was shocked when I discovered that Surfer's, far from being a mammoth trek that I would have to do en route to Sydney, was an easy day trip from Brisbane. Surely things are not so close in this country? It felt as though Australia had shrank. But this is the east coast, and ...
Surfer's Paradise, Australia sahs... first 2 nights in a luxury backpackers, which housed it's own tennis court, spa, and we made full use of them! Surfers is a party town and on Saturday night we joined in the fun by partaking in a club crawl. It was a fantastic night, there was at least 70 backpackers crawling through the clubs, each was fantastic. We met some great new people, and it gave me the perfect opportunity to put my Swedish ...
Surfers Paradise, Australia will_waldron... I was in a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops. After the 20 minute walk back to the hostel the colour of my skin had turned to the colour of my heart(BLUE). The last I remember was laying in bed shivvering myself to sleep, until I was woken up by the aussie lady shouting in her sleep. I had to wake her up to stop doing it, I think she's a bit of psycho. Her snoring puts my moms to shame, luckily though she moved rooms in the morning. The agency hadn't called me on Wendesday morning ...
Brisbane, Australia bluenoseontourAfter I wrote the last diary entry, I managed to keep to my word and stayed in every night till Friday surviving on Beans on toast and pasta. I was dead chuffed with my little self and saved a samll fortune in the process. As the days went on last week it seemed to get colder and colder and don't know if I was hallucinating but I could have sworn I saw a penguin walk past me with a duffer coat on!! On Thursday I started to get excited knowing that my mom and dad were going to be ...
