The long-awaited blog post from a lot of you (I’m sure) has got to be where I spent my New Year: THE FALLS FESTIVAL! Oh Falls, where do I even begin? You were just bloody amazing all round (okay maybe not the lack of lighting in the campsite toilets or having to live off wraps and […]
Our time in Byron Bay
So this post is going to be short and sweet (which may or may not be a good thing depending on how you take it). Feeling very groggy after our ridiculously early coach journey from Port Macquarie, we thankfully got to check in to our self-contained apartment as soon as we arrived at Byron Bay Holiday Village and […]
The Koala Hospital | Port Macquarie
Our main reason for stopping off in Port Macquarie was their koala hospital (that plus we wanted to break up to Sydney to Byron journey – 16 hours or something awful). So once we had woken up and eaten our breakfast (absolutely free thanks to the communal food at our hostel!) we directed ourselves to the […]
Christmas in Sydney and leaving
CHRISTMAS EVE We packed up everything we had for China in Alice’s gym bag to leave in the luggage storage (I had one eBag packing cube and a SuperDry jacket) and left the apartment to drop it off. When we got to the place (it did look kinda dodgy), no one seemed to be there so Alice […]
Three days before Christmas | Sydney
Firstly, I apologise for how delayed these posts are but: In the run up to Christmas and since moving away from Sydney there has been no time at all to sit down and write these posts (I have a backlog so there are more to come). There hasn’t been any reliable wifi. I wasn’t comfortable […]
Bondi, Coogee, UCAS and the Blue Mountains | Sydney
Thursday 17th Dec We hadn’t been to the beach at all since we landed in Australia which is quite surprising, so on Thursday we headed down to Bondi Beach. We took the train to Bondi Junction and then had to catch a bus to the beach – about a half an hour journey. It was […]
Goodbye Melbourne, Hello Sydney
We’ve been in Sydney for almost a week now (more posts to come) but I haven’t updated you guys! So after our Great Ocean Road trip (amazing, but exhausting) we spent the Sunday having a lie-in. We were both so tired and worn out that we settled for a pretty chill day. We had planned to go […]
Melbourne… so far
Since my last post, Alice and I managed to drag ourselves out of the apartment despite still being awfully jet-lagged to explore Melbourne {this was on Tuesday 8th Dec}. We walked around for about two hours taking in the scenery and getting a feel for the city (at first I didn’t think too much of Melbourne […]
LHR > MEL: The Journey
Well, well, well… We have finally made the terribly long and exhausting journey to Melbourne, Oz – and here we are! It’s currently 2:45am as I type this but hey, that’s what jet lag is all about, right? So, where to begin… LHR > HKG The longest of two flights (just under 11hrs) was surprisingly […]
