City 2 Surf

I can’t believe it took me so long to write about this! Anyway. Long story short. I ran 14km with the Western Earth Moving Team (where I work)…or rather, I ran 11km and stumbled/crawled/limped the last 3km after my knees cramped up. It was the furthest I had ever run and now I know why […]

Off to the Outback

So, city life was becoming a little much for me so I decided to take a break from Sydney and head north to Queensland. I booked my ticket, packed my bag, hung up my work boots….wait I packed my work boots as I am going to work on a farm for 10 days! I am […]

Surfing!!

I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last blog! Lots has gone on since then and I will go back and cover some of it but until then here is a taster of what I got up to today! Ed, Ellie (otherwise known as Pommie) and our friend Naomi, who is […]

Piano in the library

I have just returned from the public library here in Melbourne. As I first walked in the door I heard classical piano music playing but it had a certain quality to it that told me it was not recorded but live. It turns out that there is. Piano on the first floor of the library […]

Singapore

The train journey was not quite what we had expected. We had paid for a compartment with a private toilet and shower and found that the carriage had been taken out of service. So we found ourselves, still in a sleeper cabin not quite as comfortable as expected. As ususal the air con was stuck […]

1 Day in KL

After the journey of the day before, well 2 days before, there was no question that we would sleep well. We did just that but not for too long. After a quick call to mum and dad I managed to get to bed around 1.30 only to be woken by my alarm clock at 6.30. […]

Lady Boy Cabaret, Koh Tao

Last night Ed and I went to the lady boy show the ‘queen’s cabaret’ here in Koh Tao. It was brilliant. I think the photos speak for themselves

All Aboard The Red Baron

Today we had the pleasure of accompanying The awesome Fiona Russo and her band of merry teachers and friends on a sailing boat trip from Koh Samui. We boarded the boat at 1pm sharp and after the briefest of safety briefings, we were off! We were to sail from Koh Samui to koh phangan, have […]

Death Ride Through Bangkok

We left the hotel around 12.30, a little later than we expected to. We had spent time that morning deciding that we were not going to fly to Koh Samui the next day as we had previously thought, but we going to get the overnight sleeper train and subsequent ferry, that evening. There was a […]

Suits & Suites

After our prison visit we headed to our hotel for the night. We had decided to treat ourselves to a suite in a very nice hotel. The irony of the fact that we had just left a place were the living conditions could be described as, at best, medieval, and were about to stay in […]
