Saturday 6 April 2013

I am ashamed to admit that what was originally intended to be a thorough, continuously updated travel blog has been neglected repeatedly throughout the year. This was completely unintentional and my excuse is that I actually got some of the stuff intended to be posted on here published for real(!) and thus was not allowed to publish it elsewhere for copyright reasons. This is a poor excuse because there are a lot of things I have failed to write about at all that could have gone on here, and other people have been writing much more frequent blogs and spouting them around on social networks which makes me feel sorry for my own blog which has become much like a rabbit that you love at first and promise to cuddle all the time but eventually get bored of and leave in its hutch in the garden and forget all about it. But there's no point in lamenting that I guess.

We are leaving sydney in a week. Finally. We never intended to stay here this long but our inability to save efficiently means we have been here for almost six months. The last leg of our journey is going to be so worth it. I will fill you in now in case I am having too much fun to do so en route:

Leave Sydney Saturday 13th:

10 days driving in a campervan up to Brisbane stopping at coffs harbour, byron bay and all the plalces in between.My birthday will be spent loving life on a beach (hopefully)

Anzac day (25th april)

Brisbane for a few days until the beginning of the next leg of the journey which will include:

Noosa
Frazer island 3 nightsoff roading, camping, surfing etc.
Airlie Beach
Magnetic Island 3 nights
The whitsundays cruise 2 nights including snorkelling scuba diving etc etc sleeping on deck under the stars
Cairns
The waterfall featured in Peter Andres "Mysterious Girl" muic video
The others are doing a skydive, I'm doing a bungee jump and having recurring nightmares about doing so
Great Barrier Reef boat trip, more snorkelling etc

We then have three weeks before me and Skeletor have to go home and are so far undecided on how to fill the time.

Excited is an understatement.

Then we are jetting to Kuala Lumpur for 4 nights before heading back to the UK (sob)
And that will be our year over. Scary how fast the time has gone.

But more lamenting no doubt when I get home.
