... sure it will only get interesting once we stop in Hong Kong for a quick clubbing session overnight then on another plane to Madrid the next day. Woah!

Until the next entry in Nikita and Caitlin's Whirlwind tour, this is me signing out.

CYA! XD

... So far managed to sort out Medicare, bank accounts and phones which is a great relief. Now all is missing are just jobs. But they will come….and hopefully soon rather then later...

Oh and we have managed to buy our first bed! Nice and comfy. ;0)) so happy sleeping.

So that’s it from us. Now is your turn to tell us about your adventures.

Take care and keep in touch

... and raring to go and now commencing research into the highlands in order to put together some incredible footage. I was going to try and research each stage of the trip but figure the guides will give us the good oil, and I can just repeat what they say (and film it) and do the post-trip research at home from the comfort of the producing studio!

So if you're reading this - hey!! Have a great few weeks! I know I will!

... she wanted me to ring back later to talk about it...I think not...just charge us and go away. To be fair the to Jupiter we had turned up 1 and half hours before the official sign in time....no our room was not ready....for our romance package stay...but we could have a room with two double beds ...

... a fraud, and a forgery. He said it exactly like that so many times that it made me believe he had something to hide. But apparently he is in the clear for now. So we'll see what other funny news the Australian politicians can give us.

They do often struggle to find news stories that are actually worth talking about. For about two weeks straight the only thing on any news channel was how there is lots of swine flu in Victoria ...

... of canals, rivers and estuaries. Big houses with immaculate lawns sweep down the banks to the main river with expensive boutiques and restaurants lining Hastings Street. Unfortunately recent storms have washed away the main man-made beach, leaving just bare rocks and pipes exposed. So we didn't spend much time there competing for a grain of sand with all the tourists, surfers and locals and instead spent our time on the huge expanses of sand on the ...

We arrived in Brisbane, as planned on the 2nd April, to the tune of a howling gale and torrential rain but quickly settled into our apartment to escape the storm. A quick venture into the mall resulted in a thorough soaking so we gave up and decided to wait it out. Gladly it didn't last into the next day and we ...

... young children will no doubt be familiar with the popular kids' performing group "The Wiggles". This Australian group started out as the less kid friendly (but apparently moderately successful) band, The Cockroaches]; · Enjoying the holiday cabin that had the cutlery drawer directly beneath the built in stovetop elements...there's nothing like picking up a burning hot fork! I guess the advantage of this questionable set up was that it gives you an ...

... up the coast and inland a little to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. It's the third biggest city in Oz after Sydney and Melbourne, and which I don't think I'll be able to do it justice in the four days I'm spending here, I will certainly try and see as much as possible (when I'm not viciously abandoning it to go on rollercoasters, that is). Geographically if not chronologically, Brisbane marks the halfway point of my trip ...

... kind of fun you have when you first find out mud is sqwishy. I stayed at Gordon's house with him and his girlfriend Ciara. After a month of grotty hostels and fending for yourself it is nice to have some homely comforts. It was so relaxed and nothing was an issue, which is like being wrapped in a 100% cotton sheet. No worries. My time with Gordon was spent eating, laughing, playing in puddles and getting massages in the Cairns night market. Will and I agreed ...
