Brisbane

Brisbane is a nice city!

I have met up with Sarah & Michelle, and have made a whole heap of friends in the hostel (Banana Benders!!)

The new plan is to stay here until maybe Saturday then take the Greyhound direct to Sydney, the reason I have decided not to go to Surfers or Byron is - what is the point?!

They are both beachy resorts, with not a lot to do other than sunbathe, shop and drink - none of which I can particulary afford to do!! I have friends in Sydney, Barbara (from Hungary) and Elad (from Israel - although he may have to go back to the army) so as well as finding myself a job I can have a good time with my friends!

On Monday I visited the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary with Dorothee, my roomate - I even had a photo taken with a Koala - it was possibly the best experience of my entire life, I love Koalas so much!!! Check out my photobucket site, I have uploaded loads and loads of pictures as for once in my entire trip I have found a really really good internet cafe with a mega connection!

Yesterday, Dorthee, Adalin, Cara and myself went to the Queensland museum (boring I know but it was free!!) and in fact it wasn't boring, it was actually a really nice museum considering it was free! After that, Cara (Scottish) and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean at the flix - it was cool!

Cara is the first person I have met for ages who can actually understand my English, and I am English!! When I talk to a non-native speaker I have to change the way I talk!

I can't believe how long I have been away from home! I have to start thinking about what to do when I get home, it's not a nice thought!!

Bye for now
