Gooday Australia!!!

So I have arrived in Oz finally and been here for over a week now. We got here after 48hours of travelling from Thailand, through Malaysia Singapore and finally Sydney. Our accomodation was booked in Manly so we spent a couple of nights in this shite hole and it cost us a bomb compared to Thailand.

We met some guy in Manly who has hooked us up with a flat which we moved into on Saturday and is just outside the city in between Bondi and Coogee, an area called Randwick. We have 2 flat mates (alison and Theo) but they both move out in 2 weeks so we will have the place to ourselves for 5 weeks-yayyyy!!!

We have done lots of shopping here, the shops are irresistable!!, we have both joined the gym across the road to us (my new years resolution is to finally get fit and toned), we spent just under a week at our mate Sammi's place with 8 other people (a bit hectic but fun) and this weekend it was Ozzy day so its been mental.

Everyone goes out in hotels over here which is weird but the hotels have casino's, betting shop, pool tables, nightclubs and restaurants in!! We went on a boat party on Friday night, it was meant to be a mini full moon UV party where everyone turned up in fluroscent clothes and paint but me and Amy decided to be different and go as police woman!! was a wicked night which ended up in a club and waking up the next day very hungover. Went out for Ozzy day with our mates and drunk farrrrr too many Jaga bombs but it was a laugh.

I actually havent spent a day in the sun yet coz it was raining for a bit when we first got here and the other days I get up too late lol. So im pale again which sucks. Been for a job interview and still looking around...I need a job!!! its so expensive out here but am having a wicked time.

So far so good in Oz but I dont think Thailand will be out beaten!!!xxx

Koh Lanta

Am in Koh Lanta at the mo and it is the nuts. Left Samui which was sad but this island is unreal. It is sooo quiet, hardly anyone here at all and we have been stayin in a nice place with a beautiful swimming pool with James and Tay.

All having a giggle, chillin in the day (the best weather i've experienced yet!!!) playing pool games and stuff and we found ourself a local bar at night which is really cool!!

Everywhere literally closes at 10pm its madness so is difficult getting taxi's and stuff!!but we are coping. Was only meant to be here 2 days or 3 but we love it here and having such a good time so might back date our flights to oz a few days!

Making our way to Malaysia after this though to look after the Orangutans which im really looking forward to.

Only a quick update but speak soon to u all hopefully love ya xx

FULL MOON PARRRTAY!!!

What a f*ckin wicked wicked 2 weeks I've had, the craziest xmas and new year ever!! sorry its took soooo long for an update, been mega busy!
Nic and Laws arrived 10 days ago but unfortunately their flight was delayed so they missed the first full moon party but me and Amy went on xmas eve with our mates Ross, Nathan, Danny and their parents! We got their not knowing what to expect, walked down the road onto the beach to find about 30,000 people going SICK to the music!!! music pumping, battered people everywhere, dancing, fireworks, and looooads of UV paint. We covered ourselves in it literally from head to toe, and I have never laughed so much in all my life, crazy crazy night and the best part was making it through to 9 the next morning (Christmas day) and watching everyone still raving on the beach and seein battered people lying everywhere. Since then the girls arrived, I had 2 hours sleep in 3 days and just went mad partying!!the red bull is seriously strong here and sooo much is going on you don't wanna go to bed and miss out.
Us gals dressed up in our xmas outfits christmas day and got battered ending the night on the beach with our mates and our mate Mark playing guitar and singing (he is the bollox!!)
We went elephant trekking, went to some marine and tiger zoo, tried going to a waterfall but breaking down on a bloody mountain, went to Koh Tao for the day, chilled on the beach, partied like mad, got beaten up by Thai girls :(, got eye infection, went on scarrrry boats where they nearly tipped over, 2 of our guy mates move in with us (our lodge is the bollox, absolutely HUGE, the biggest gaf in the area!), and then experienced another FULL MOON PARTY!!!
This one was even busier and madder than the first one, us girls dressed up as angels and the lads as devils but by the end of the night we were smothered in paint big time, Laura was going mad with it chucking it everywhere. There was a power cut at 6 in the morning which was funny but the party carried on and by 8 in the morning we were still having it large!! never smiled soooo much in my life, the best new years eve ever!! fireworks were amazing and another mate of mine (James) arrived with his mates so had it large with them too. Made such wicked mates I'm gonna be sad to leave Koh Samui again!!

I know I've missed out loads of events coz so much has happened but will update when I can remember. Still havent had sleep since about 32 hours ago, its the girls last day today which is mortifying, gonna proper miss them.

Oh my god and can I just say the best news I have heard this christmas is that Luke and Aimee are engaged, over the moon big time but mortified I'm gonna miss out on the celebrations. CONGRATULATIONS guys!!!! yay I'm gonna have a sis!!

And also lads how quality was Lauras xmas pressie, the photo CD she made, wish we could have all sat down and watched it together.

Hope u all had a quality xmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR, heres to 2008, it's gonna be crazy.xxx

PS more photos coming soon (this is costing me a fortune in the internet cafe but will add more in a few days!) x
