Wednesday 7th November 2007


Last night was one of the most uncomfortable nights sleep of my entire life. The benches we slept on weren't even that comfy to SIT on - so you can imagine what it was like for our backs. We woke up at about 4.40am, when there were people starting to filter into the airport. We gathered our thoughts and then took the 10 steps over to the check-in desk. When we were all checked in, we went and got ourselves a coffee, before waiting for our flight.

We flew to Tasmania with Jet Star - Australia's version of Easy Jet - and they are brilliant! The plane had nice comfy, leather seats and it was really clean and tidy. The flight wasn't very long - Nikki and Steve still managed to get some sleep - and we were soon coming in to land at Hobart Airport. We caught a shuttle into town and thankfully we were able to check into the YHA... I was exhausted, so went straight to bed... at about 8.45am!

When we finally woke up at about 3.30pm this afternoon, me and Nikki went out to explore Hobart, leaving Steve in his bed. The city seems quite busy - its all really squashed in - but there are loads of shops and cafés. We had a hot chocolate each and then went for a walk around the Wharf, which was to check out the fish & chips really.

We came back to the hostel this evening and Nikki made us hot dogs for our tea. Afterwards we came up to the room, where Nikki and Steve watched X Factor, while I had a shower. Then we all got into bed because we were still tired - but then sat up chatting until 1.30am!

Man, Steve is like a baby - all he does is eat and sleep!
