Saturday 7th June 2008 Last night Leon decided to put the TV on until about midnight, he then snored the loudest I’ve ever heard at 5am and 7:30am – I will not miss hostel dorms when I get home! After packing up and checking out I decided to make the most of the sunshine and…
Friday 6th June 2008 I had yet another disturbed night with a couple of people sat right outside the window talking in the early hours. I had the free breakfast and then decided against the two hour train ride up to the blue mountains (plus the weather wasn’t great) and instead got the train a…
Thursday 5th June 2008 My taxi arrived slightly early and I was at Southern Cross station by half seven. It was definitely worth the fifteen dollars not to have to walk and change trains with my bags. I checked in my large ruck sack and then got some bits of food from the IGA opposite…
Wednesday 4th June 2008 I had a much needed lie in this morning and whiled away half the morning using the very slow internet connection and booking a taxi for tomorrow morning and my last hostel in Australia – the Pink House in Sydney. I decided not to go for a Neighbours tour, instead opting…
On 28th May the automatic transfer of my blog entries from my mobile to email to the blog stopped working. I’m working on the problem and hopefully will get it sorted out soon! Update 13th June 2008: I’ve not managed to sort out the problem so I’m manually posting the items now that I’ve got…
Tuesday 3rd June 2008 I was picked up at half seven this morning and dropped off in town with two others where we transferred onto the tour minibus driven by Will. The first leg of the journey was back along the M1 to Geelong, which the coach last night had travelled along in the opposite…
Monday 2nd June 2008 It was an early start to get the 5:43am Skylink bus to the railway station. We got to the station by six o’clock giving me ages before the train left at seven forty. I confused the lady serving in Choo Choo’s Cafe by buying a box of cornflakes and saying I…
Sunday 1st June 2008 I was up earlier today and the first order of the day was a load of washing to remove the Red Centre from my clothes. Once that was done, I’d had breakfast and made lunch I got back on the bike to cycle inland along the river Torrens. I managed to…
Saturday 31st May 2008 Having found a free wireless network in my dorm room I spent the morning lazing in bed on the internet. Once I was up I went to the IGA next door and picked up a pastie and quiche which I ate on the hostel balcony. I then hired a bike for…
Friday 30th May 2008 Once again it wasn’t a great nights sleep and I gave up at half six to move to the lounge car for a change of scenery. At least being up early gave me the opportunity to have a text conversation with Ady. I had the full breakfast again and when I…
