Santa Anne By the Sea Broadbeach

... nächsten Tag waren wir noch mal schön lange am Meer und Tommy musste Sachen packen für die nächsten vier Wochen in Indonesien. Steve hat uns am Abend nach Brisbane gefahren, mich nach hause, Tommy zum Flughafen. Am nächsten Tag schreibt mir Steve: Tommy hat mit eine sms geschrieben: er hat keinen Job mehr. Ich dachte das war ein Scherz! Aber er ist inzwischen wirklich zurück an der Gold Coast (und genießt mal wieder das Surfleben). Am gleichen Tag habe ich über eine Freundin bei ...

... a beer with the family he would charge at me snarling and snapping. Of course most of my drink went flying into the air with shock. He soon calmed himself down. It was great to see them all (Robbie, Belinda, Jake and Jessica) again and had a lovely dinner and a reminisce. Early night for me in the sanctuary of my own room from Tuska. Rafiki (the female) was a happy puppy and spent most of the time protecting me from her bro. June 4th After a top night of sleep I ...

... in hand - I was also in with one swede who had eaten too many hash cookies and was feeling a little worse for wear. We all had no idea where he got them from, or how many he had, but he was lieing on his bed grasping his stomach in pain and asking for someone to call an ambulance!! The paramedics came, and the next time I saw him was at 6 in morning and he was fast asleep. Go figure!? That night I ended up having a ...

... does! It was going to be the last time Stef would see Tanya in Australia so we all headed into Surfers for a few drinks... which as normal turned out to be quite messy. We couldn't get hold of a taxi so we walked back to Tanya's boyfriend's apartment at stupid o'clock in the morning in the pouring rain. We were soaked to the bone by the time we got there but thankfully managed to get a taxi straight home and straight to bed. It was like a crime scene in the morning.. we kept ...

... Surfers Paradise is more touristy than Broad Beach.....the boys enjoyed the scenery...mostly "Californian Girls" The waves were great but this time we didnt hire surf boards, instead we had a couple of bogie boards. We spent hours riding the 2 meter high waves into shore - with a heavy Rip. It was really fun, but after riding the wave in one had to check to make sure swimsuit was still fully entact before ...

Certainly done for time now . . . counting every minute . . lotta work to do for Lauren to look after craigscore . . . as well as packing all the right stuff . . so many drugz / insulin / test strips and all - nearly 3kg just for that . . so I cant take any clothes . . hehehe . . gotta go nekkid . . . I got my tent and its weighs just 1.1kg - and its the size of a coffin but they say rainproof - hope so . . .

Its a sad day today as I leave the rest of my original Oz bus behind and head to Surfers Paradise on my own. Bit nervous as tis is the first time I'll be truly travelling on my own. I needn't have owrried as got chatting to an canadian girl and an irish girl as soon as I got the hostel and we went to Shooters for ...

... it was annoying having to pull the book out all the time so we ended up at the Government House, the old Goveners House and the Botanic gardens. We bumped into 2 guys who had been on the Fraiser trip with you at the Parliament house... They accused us of following them... We did a little shopping and headed back to the hostel for a shower and a bite to eat before crashing.. We were all set to go the Australia zoo the following day. If we had realised ...

... a train from the airport to the area of the city where my mate was staying and was in my new digs by 5pm, which are the best value for money I've had so far since I've been in Oz. We caught up on what had being going on and went out for a Chinese last night, I met a few others from the hostel including a lass called Charmaine who a few of the other lads know that I've been travelling with from Cairns who seems safe as f**k. Today was the queens birthday and the lazy Aussies had the ...

... Bronwyn and her family live at various spots along the coast right into New South Wales, so several come for a barbecue to meet The Canadians. Our friends from Victoria, Kirk and Jodi, are invited along as well. They all regail us with great Oz stories as the sun sets and fruit bats bigger than seagulls wing inland in their leathery multitudes. We finish the night by watching England trample favoured France in the second rubgy semi-final.
