... stop, keep going!" Unfortunately I was holding on tightly to my seat, being bumped along, and hadn&#8217;t the presence of mind to video the proceedings. Much hilarity all round after we got to back to normal roads.<br><br>We reached home just as it was getting dark, between 6 and 7. Another enjoyable day. Doreen has certainly shown us a lot of aspects of the Brisbane area.

... Sydney. There was also a massive change of passengers and part of me wished I was getting off at Adelaide just so I could have a comfy night&#8217;s sleep in a bed. I also found out after consulting the bible (Lonely Planet Australia) that Perth to Adelaide was the same as London to Moscow in terms of distance, which really put into perspective how empty and vast Oz really is. I mean imagine all the countries, cities and people between London and Moscow and yet between Perth and ...

... world. everything is made of sand. Lakes, beaches, mountains, and even rainforest grows from the sand. So of course the roads are also sand tracks. and there had been no rain recently which equals very dry and hard to drive through sand. This results in a VERY bumpy ride, and very exciting it was too. How we didnt tip the bus nobody knows, much better than any ride at ocean park in hong kong. We visited various sites around the island, one of which definatly ...

... from the floor was near mirror like and I could see, as if by some merlinesque magic, The perfect reflection of the bloke in the next cubicle with his trousers about his knees&#8230;. I beat a hasty retreat out of there :O) <br><br>The flight was on time. A new plane. A tv Screen in the back of the seat for your personalized viewing. Films, TV shows, PC games, and my favourite, the map of where the plane is in relation to the ...

... had a couple of bottles of wine, Robbie and Mitch managed a bottle of Jack Daniels and we had yet another good night, reminiscing about the good old days and sharing stories I had long forgotton. <br><br>We had an awesome time in Brisbane, and it definitely made us fall back in love with Australia. Hadn't laughed so much in a long time and it was great to catch up with Lauren again and remember the good times. <br><br>Cheers Luv. Love Nic and Peace Rob

... where you are encouraged to feed Kangaroos & Wallabies, most of whom seem bored by the whole thing. I was fascinated see a Joey (baby Kangaroo) just poking out of its mothers pouch. Of course they have a Koala compound with some Koalas tame enough to let children squeeze & poke them about (aren't some kids cruel). One disappointment was the water bird section, the ponds were partly hidden behind trees & bushes so you couldn ...

Den halben Tag v**schlafen, die and**e Hälfte des Tages habe ich meine Bew**bung für v**schiedene Resorts und Hostels angefangen zu schreiben. In d** darauffolgenden Nacht habe ich mir gewünscht, ich wäre lieb** zum Arzt gegangen. Selbst mit meinen restlichen Schm**ztabletten waren die Schm**zen in den ...

Thursday 26/02/09 At Sea Temps Air 28°C Sea 28°C Whilst I written much about what where we've been and the ports visited, and touched on the profile of my fellow passengers but I've missed what may be of interest to some of you, that is what's life like aboard ship.

... They had all the equiptment there (miniature of course) to show the entire process of taking the sugar cane, to raw sugar, and alcohol. It was very interesting and in the end, we got to sample some of the sauces that they make there, and different beverages, and the kids got "fairy" floss (candy floss). The chef was doing demos of some delicious looking plates, as they were in the process of a photo shoot for a cookbook that they are producing using the sauces ...

... let everyone use their pool !!! Last night we went to Southbank to watch the fireworks, it was really good ! Streets Beach (the manmade Beach randomly next to the river) was packed full of people. They had a dj set up on the 'beach' which was cool. They had set up security so when you got to the area they checked your bag to make sure you had no alcohol... but by the look of some people they had managed to sneak some in ! Either that or they where just super happy. They also ...
