Tuesday 17th July 2007


I have to say - if a night in prison is anything like it was last night, then it's not all bad - our bed was lovely and comfy! We woke up quite early this morning, because we had to 'escape' by 10am, and did a Skype call with Mum and Keith before catching the bus into town.

We bought some cakes from a little bakery we've found (and love) and caught another bus out to the airport. Our flight was supposed to be at 2.30pm but was delayed and we took of at 3pm.

When we arrived in Sydney, we phoned some hostels before finding one called 'The Jolly Swagman' and a shuttle came and collected us and took us there. It seems pretty cool! There are quite a few people here, and at 7pm there was an announcement over the loud-speaker that there was pizza and beer down in the kitchen. When we got there it was only $1 a slice and $1 a beer so we sat eating that and chatting with some of the other travelers (one guy was from Bristol). Afterwards we came up to our room and chilled out watching TV.

New Zealand was great, now onto Australia... fair dinkum!
