Sitting in The Jack eating a salad and having a glass of white and singing along to American Pie as I write this post. I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away My favourite verse, […]
A Sky Dive and A Hop, Swim & Jump
First a warning for vegans and vegetarians … you may want to skip this post! Next, I’m staying in the noisiest hostel ever! This one was advertised as slightly older crowd and no alcohol permitted. Yep, the noisiest!!!!!! I spent some time last night figuring out my next steps from […]
Cairns, More Co-Ed & I’ve Booked Stuff!
I was up way too early for people to be awake. I took Jetstar on this leg, they’re the cheap one here in Australia. There was only 1 flight today and it was at 6 am. But …they were $200 cheaper than Virgin so 6 am it was. Cairns is […]
Out & About, Sydney Opera House & Game of Thrones
Today I planned on going to Bondi Beach, but ended up walking about. I wanted to see more of the harbour area. I hung out in Starbucks and booked my flight to Cairns tomorrow and a hostel for a few nights. Planning on diving the outer reef and skydiving again. […]
A Hangover, Phone Calls & A Bridge Climb
After my wine tasting shenanigans yesterday, I’m feeling my age this morning. I’m now in Sydney at the Asylum Backpackers Hostel and it looks like an interesting place! I’m the old lady in the dorm, these young ladies sure like to leave their clothes all over the floor. I’d be […]
Seafood, Day Drunk & French Fries
I got drunk today. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I woke up in Tassie!! I’ve been told a lot that Australians like to shorten their words. Tasmania … Tassie, Parmigiana … Parmi, TD … Tasmanian Devil. I’m starting to get it. I did yet another small load of laundry, […]
Bathing Boxes, Security Guards & Tassie
I said goodbye to Linda, Harvey and Lizzie this morning. We took a fabulous walk on the beach. Stunning area! These are known as Bathing Boxes. Owned by locals their starting price is 300k. They have no power and you can’t sleep all night in them. I’ve had the best […]
Terracotta Soldiers, AC/DC & Yorkshire Pudding
I had a fabulous day!! I took the train from Linda’s house to Melbourne City. The first thing I did was get a Starbucks and it was good! The barista asked me if I was from Canada and said he recognized my Visa card. He lived in Montreal for a […]
Beaches, A Penguin Parade & A Road Trip
Another day started with … laundry! Again, with only one pair of leggings and the weather a little cooler, it’s all I’m wearing. I put my shorts on to wear while doing the laundry, but Barb loaned me a pair of pants and a big blue wooly jumper. I’m going […]
Kangaroos, Koalas and Devils Oh My
I’m loving travelling with my little carry on backpack. When I landed in Sydney and went through Immigration, the man asked if my pack was all I had and THEN he said don’t you have 20 pairs of shoes. OMG I said do you know me? Maybe I’m on some […]
