Two Friends and a SheWee

Ok so we finally have a chance to update our blog and our Aussie adventures so far. We have been in Australia over a month now, which we can't quite believe. Its gone so fast, and we are just about adjusting to the Australian way of life, well the bush life!
We arrived in Sydney on the 28th April but didn't see much as we had to rush to Brisbane for Creamfields a couple of days later. So we plan to see the sights of Sydney on our return there to fly out of Australia. We bought our Greyhound bus tickets and took a twelve hour over night bus trip to Brisbane. It was hard because we didnt sleep and it was the longest twelve hours ever!
When we arrived in Brisbane we checked into Base Hostel, did some much needed shopping and caught up on some sleep. The next day we went to Creamfields!!!! It was amazing, although on a much smaller scale than we expected. Once Deadmau5 was on stage, the crowd seemed to grow and suddenly it seemed much bigger.
We went out in Brisbane a few times, one night being particularly messy because a pub were giving out free pints of beer! (for some reason!) Not sure why as we snuck in the back entrance of the club!
Most of our time in Brisbane (5 days) was spent job hunting, handing out our CV's and completeing our RSAs online. After no response we felt a bit sorry for ourselves, especially with all our work experience (once in the Olive Grove for Laura), you'd think all the bar's would be desperate to have the two of us;-)
We then heard of Jerermy, the job man and after some hunting he found us the perfect job, where we could stay together.
We flew from Brisbane to Emerald, which is the nearest airport town to Anakie. Anakie is considered a town, although you wouldn't think it!
It consists of one pub/motel, a caravan park and a few houses. There is nothing for miles around and if you want anything its a 30 minute drive to Emerald. The only good thing about this is that we are able to acually save money! The only bad thing is that the pub serves lots oof beer and fried food and so the weight continues to pile on. We have both attempted to shift it by spending our spare time on the treadmill with no obvious affect so far!
Although it's pretty quiet, Anakie is home to the Gemfields and the next town, Sapphire is where the sapphire from Kate Middleton's engagement ring was found. So it's actually a pretty interesting place to be and we are definitely going to go fossiking for gems before we leave and hopefully make our fortune! Okay probably not, but we can try at least! Lots of the locals regualarly go looking for sapphires and have vast collections of them. Anakie is also home to a large family of Rainbow Lorrikeets which are really pretty birds seen all over Australia. However, their noise is not so pretty and at 7am every day they begin loudly squawking at eachother and don't stop for most of the day! They are very friendly though. We've seen the kids at the pub sit in the garden with food and the birds come over and sit on them to eat, its pretty cool.
The Anakie pub is a small pub restaurant, with a bowling ground and 7 motel rooms, one of which we share. Robyn and Damo run the pub, and as well as the regular staff there are 2 girls from Manchester working here aswell. (Racheal and Jordon.)
So now we can offically pour an Australian pint, which they would call a pot or a scooner depending on the size. We've had to learn lots of strange names for different beers and measures as well as learning how to change their strange beer barrells. One busy night, I (Andrea) took the tap off of an old keg and managed to totally soak myself in beer. To make matters worse, the bar had gotten really busy in the meantime so i had to go and serve lots of people with beer dripping from my chin and hair. That same night an 80 year old asked me to go home with him..............so it was a pretty bad day all round.
It wasn't long (our 2nd shifts) before we were left in charge of the bar, opening, closing, cashing up, changing kegs, restocking, taking bookings, etc. Most days are quite easy though, you get your regulars, and there are some characters! Truck, God, Ma.........
Alot of Random stuff happens out here, like a bus load of people in fancy dress coming in, first thing monday morning for drinks. Or one of the old locals is innocently burning his grass when he accidentally blows up his neighbours car! He gets a warning from the police, which starts off chest pains, next thing he's off in an ambulance.
Friday nights and Sunday days are the busiest, with Tequilla's and Cowboys flowing all night! We have experienced a couple of these nights, often ending in singing round a camp fire, trying to keep it alight.
Andrea and I have also been working the kitchen, and as the weeks have gone on we are now left in there alone. Preparing the vegtables and dishes for the servery at night, cooking lunches, dinners and often getting stressed! Well its usually Andrea getting stressed with me getting stressed! Cooking is good, I like it, Andrea likes eating the chips! Its good when the orders come in nice and steady, no more tables of twelve please, or orders of Reef on Beef!
So apart from working at the pub, we've also been working at Robyn and Damo's friends place in another small place called Capella. Amanda and Keith live on a 40 acre property so apart from the house there's nothing around them, no neighbours and no noise, apart from the dingos at night. They have taken us on a few tours around the property and we've managed to spot a few kangaroos and a dingo hiding in the grass. This was majorly exciting for us as we've been here 5 weeks now and only just seen a kangaroo! Our only disappointment was that the last time we left Capella, we just missed seeing some snakes and a wallaroo which is a cross between a kangaroo and a wallaby. We had never heard of this but if definitely sounds like something we want to see!
Keith and Amanda breed cattle so whilst staying at theirs, we had our first experience up close and personal with cows. We were told we had to move them to another paddock and were both thinking this would be a seriously tedious day spending hours pushing cows along! However, we actually moved them along using quad bikes. We basically drove closely behind them and beeped the horn alot to make them move. It sounds a little cruel but it was so much fun, plus the ground is really bumpy so driving on the quad bike alone was pretty exciting!
We were also able to help Keith and Amanda brand and tag their new cattle which was very scary. We helped trap them so they wouldn't move whilst Keith and Amanda branded and tagged them. It was really hard as some of them are massive and even the smaller ones are very strong and very angry as I'm sure I would be if someone tried to brand my bum!
As well as learning lots about breeding cattle we've done some fencing, a job which showed how strong Laura really is and how pathetic I really am! We have done lots of other random cleaning and tidying jobs but even they are fun because they all involve using some kind of big machinery we've never used before. Amanda asked us to wash the outside walls of her house as they are wooden so we thought we would use ladders and cloths. Nope, she made us get into the bucket of a digger (which everyone just has in their back garden) and lifted us up in that!We were given a hose and left to it, so in typical grown up behaviour, we ended up with more water on ourselves than on the walls! Even cutting the grass round here is fun because you get to use a professional mower with an engine and it takes no effort to use. Because Amanda's property is so big, they use quad bikesand buggies to get everywhere so it makes even the simplest jobs like hanging the washing out seem fun because you have to drive them to get to and from the job. One particular day we were taking some rubbish to the tip (or hole as it really was), using a buggy and slightly over estimated how much room we had to move. With four of us and a dog sqaushed into it and the back piled high with heavy rocks, it would be a pretty bad time to roll backwards into the hole.........................with our lives hanging in the balance, me and Laura jumped out and used our super human powers to hold the whole thing up and tip the back of the buggy to get rid of the rocks so we could drive forward again, otherwise we may all have been doomed..............................

Stay tuned for the next episode of 'Laura and Andrea to the rescue!'

So were back in Auckland after a manic few weeks travelling New Zealand and we wish we hadn't left it so long between blogs. This is gona take us forever! We've done so much but are already forgetting the details due to the amount of alcohol we have consumed! We spent some time with Laura's cousins a couple of days before we set off on our bus tour which was really nice. We had a barbie, tried some lovely green lipped mussels and Cawhai (thats fish for those who don't know!). We took full advantage, thinking we wouldn't be able to afford food during our bus trip. But ohhhhh how wrong we were, which is why we can no longer fit into any of our clothes! We hope by the time we come back, we'll have lost a few pounds and gained a nice tan. We've not had much luck with the weather the past couple of weeks, we're still very white and yes, we know there's a heat wave in England!
We got on the Kiwi bus just outside Auckland and it was pretty full, which we were pleased about. We met our driver, Olly. He was really nice until he started introducing rules for our group i.e you can only drink with your left hand or you have to down your whole drink. Now we permanently drink with our left hands! It didn't take us long to realise that we had joined a party bus and we were told later on in the trip that our's was probably the best bus at the time (nothing to do with us, we're sure).
Our first stop was Cathedral Cove. We thought we were just going to chill out on the beach but we had to go on a full blown trekk just to get there! It didn't help that we were wearing jeans and it happened to be one of the hottest days we've had in New Zealand. It was well worth it though, as the beach was really beautiful. That night we stayed in Mercury Bay and got chatting to everyone on our bus.
The next day we were up early and back on the bus. We stopped in Waihi for a walk through the old gold mine on the way to Rotorua. When we got there we went lugeing, which is similar to go-karting but down a steep hill. It was loads of fun and one of our top activities even though Andrea managed to go off the track several times! That night, we went to a Maori concert held in a traditional Maori village. We watched an impressive show of singing and dancing and learnt all about Maori traditions. They cooked us a traditional meal called Hangi and taught us a few native phrases.
The following day we went zorbing before we left Rotorua (which we were gald to leave because it smelt like farts - due to the sulphur in the ground.) We were in the zorb ball with a guy from the bus who we'd only met a few minutes before so it was very cosy in there! We tried to stay standing for as long as possible but it wasn't long before we were flat on our faces! It felt as if we were rolling down the hill forever and had totally gone off the track.
We made our way to Waitomo for black water rafting, which was so cool. This involved wet suits, head torches and big rubber rings, so we looked quite a sight walking half a mile to the caves! The caves were very dark and deep underground. They were covered in glow worms which looked pretty cool in the dark until we found out that the glow is caused by their poo! The first part was quite hard as it required lots of careful treading through the water/rapids and the ground was very uneven, although our instructor insisted that Laura was still drunk from the night before as we nearly lost her a couple of times! We had to jump off waterfalls into our rubber rings backwards, in the dark. Some people managed this better than others, depending on the size of their rubber ring! Later, we had to find our way through the caves using only the glow worms above our heads which was very scary, especially when the instructor was trying his hardest to make us scream! The funniest part was when somebody at the front misheard the instructor and jumped out of their ring. Everyone did the same and when the instructor turned round, we were all treading very deep water and hanging onto our rings (this was payback). After a hot shower and some soup, we went out for a few drinks, which turned into lots and resulted in someone causing a small fire in our room!
We had a lie in the following day before making our way to Taupo. We planned to sky dive later that day but it was cancelled due to bad weather. We re-booked it for 8am the following day and thought the best course of action for that night was to get drunk again and do the limbo in the middle of the pub. We also met some he/she's and prostitutes who were recruiting in the toilets!
Getting up for sky diving the next morning was not fun, so i was pleased when it was cancelled again due to bad weather but Laura was still drunk and raring to go! Later that afternoon the weather improved and we finally got to sky dive. We were gutted when Amanda was assigned the only hottie, as we were looking pretty hot ourselves in some funky red all-in-ones and a tight black cap! Although once we were on the plane our only thoughts were 'why am I not strapped to anyone yet?, why is the plane door still open whilst traveling down the runway and why have I been given a life jacket? Oh and in approx 15 mins we'll be jumping out of a plane!'
At 9 thousand feet we were strapped to our instructors and once we reached 15 thousand feet that was it, the door opened the camera man jumped over me (Laura) as I was sitting next to the door, my legs swung round and before I knew it we were out. Andrea was last to jump and just as she tried to back out of the whole thing, she was out of the door as well. We were free falling for approx 1 minute, over lake Taupo, it was an amazing clear day and I (Laura) personally didn't want my parachute to open. (loved the free fall;-)) After a few twists in the air we came into land, everyone had a massive smile on their faces. Well I (Laura) did for maybe 30 seconds - until the hangover set in and I had to run off to be pretty sick! Hence my absence at the end of my video. You've gotta do it! But we do recommend you maybe don't drink the night before!
Next day - onto River Valley. This was a quiet retreat/lodge, surrounded by hills and a river and the indoor open fire added to the atmosphere. You could say it was cosy, especially as there were 18 people to one bedroom! This meant mattress to mattress, Andrea had Emma roll on top of her at one point in the night. We went for a yoga class, Laura fell asleep and Andrea managed to sustain another injury! We cooked lamb shank for dinner in red wine with succulent juicy vegetables and a creamy mash - Amanda's words lol. It was so nice, we talked about this meal for approx one week afterwards. That night we drank and drank and played ring of fire! (dangerous) We had someone playing songs on their guitar - a favorite of mine was a song about hitting a monkey - you had to be there - the guy singing had the most hilarious impressions to go with the song.
The next day I (Laura ) had the worst hangover ever! Don't think it had anything to do with drinking the vessel from the ring of fire! It was a nice concoction of red wine, vodka, beer etc... lovely - oh but I did manage to remember I had fallen down a hole whilst waiting to use the outside loo.
We left River valley late afternoon - thank god! We arrived in Wellington, basically freshened up and went out again;-) This was a good night but sad because we were saying bye to some of the bus who were staying an extra few days here.
We were told it was paramount that we were on time to catch the kiwi bus the next morning as we had a 8.20am ferry to catch to the South Island, Olly told us this not once but three times to be on time! We did set our alarm - promise- but surprise surprise it didn't go off!
We woke around 8ish grabbed our bags and shot over to the ferry port by taxi. We had made it, until Laura realised she had left the tickets back at the hostel! This meant quickly going back, but as we pulled up to the port for the second time the ferry was leaving! I (Laura) laughed as usual, Andrea headed to reception for a refund. This didn't happen instead the nice lady booked us on a flight. We quickly made it over to the airport, jumped on the smallest plane ever, talked to the pilot from our seats and landed 30 minutes later in Picton. We rang Olly and he was just down the road so he picked us up. We got a few cheers and were pretty pleased with ourselves. We carried on to Nelson, where we had a free beer tasting night which was cool, (although we had tasted most of them already by this point.)
The next day, we went to Westport and Laura went horse trekking again, but it wasn't as much fun as our first experience in the North Island. I think it was because I was with a lot of experienced riders, although the scenery was lovely. I don't think I'll be as keen to do it as a hobby when i get back to England! We went out later that night, but as it was the middle of the week it was basically dead, just the kiwi bus, a couple of hill billy's and a guy who could beat box. The more we drank the more convinced Laura was that she could join in! Back at the hostel we carried on drinking and eating what we had left from the shopping that day, Peter passed round the vodka, Amanda chomped on a cucumber and in the morning there was cereal all over the floor.
We headed to Lake Mahinapua, stopping off at Greymouth to shop for fancy dress outfits for that night, we were given 45 minutes to find a tight and bright outfit. This was not easy as the town consisted of one supermarket and a salvation army shop. We ran round and managed to find a few items of kids clothing, which were definately tight! It turned out to be a good laugh and well worth our efforts.
The next day our breakfast stop was at a possum museum, where you could make a small donation to try possum pie. (illegal to buy) It was ok, but hard to eat so early! (When talking to my family not many kiwi's have even tried this as it's considered a pest!) Our next stop was Franz Josef. We both went to book our hike on the glacier for the next day but I (Andrea) was told i couldn't do it due to my knee injury. I was gutted and nearly cried but i got over it and went kayaking instead. This was really cool, but I've never done it before so didn't realise how much hard work it is, but well worth it.
The next day I headed off on an 8 hour hike up Franz Josef Glacier, fully equipped and looking cool. It took some time before we were actually on the ice, but once we were and had gained some height, we went through some amazing ice tunnels and ice cracks. Some were so slim I'm surprised I'm not still there now! The views were fantastic and I definately recommend doing this. We got into Wanaka late afternoon the follwing day and it was Peter's birthday, so we made it a big night!
On to Queenstown. On the way we stopped off at puzzle world, which was very disorientating with a hangover! Queenstown is beautiful and pretty cool so we were glad we had a couple of days there. We went to the famous World Bar that night and had Badgers pizza which was yum and worth a mention. We seemed to eat a lot of fast food in Queenstown, only because u have to try everything! So the next day we sampled Ferg Burgers......twice! We drank long island ice tea out of teapots and went to a glow paint party. We still have glow paint on our clothes now, so we are definately over due a shopping trip, especially as unbeknown to us, our scales at home were broken. We arrived in NZ thinking we were over weight slightly (hence us leaving my straighteners behind!!!) But in fact we were 12kg under, lol.
In the morning we had to say our goodbyes to everyone as we had to get to Christchurch to fly back to Auckland. This was sad as we made some really good friends along the way;-)
Christchurch was pretty much still shut down, but we could still see some of the destruction the earthquake in February had caused. The taxi man told us there had been an aftershock of 5.5 the day before we arrived. (a bit scary.)
Since arriving in Auckland again, we have had lovely home cooked food, our own rooms and a nice clean house to live in. It's been great! Ray organised a road trip for us up to the Bay of Islands. Our first stop was at the Puhoi pub, it was full of memorabilia and funny captions (See photo's.) The public toilets in Kawakawa was a toilet stop to remember;-) (famous in NZ.) We had a few adventures along the way including making the last ferry by seconds. Another wrong turning meant us nearly driving through a bush fire but we got over this by stopping and eating the best fish and chips in the whole of NZ. We stayed in Russell, which used to be the capital of NZ many years ago. Here we visited New Zealand's oldest church and drank in NZ's oldest pub, where after a few, the locals thought we were some what crazy!
It was especially nice spending time with my cousins over the Easter weekend, which involved some more drinking and eating!;-)
We are off to Australia Thursday morning and we'll try and keep our blog updated more often.

Okay so we have arrived in New Zealand and in comparison to HK we are in five star accommodation.
We arrived early evening on the 28th, after a nine hour flight from HK to Australia. We stopped off in Sydney for 3 hours then flew another 3 hours to Auckland, which was hard going after a heavy night out. Laura's uncle Ray picked us up at the airport, although I think he nearly bypassed us as we looked a lot different from the photos he'd seen of us on Facebook!
Ray drove us back to his house in Waiuku and we stopped at a beach nearby to watch the sun set, it was magical. Back at Ray's we sat up had a few bevvies and lovely home cooked meal.
New Zealand itself is beautiful, the scenery stretches for miles from anywhere and is still lovely and green. Its also still really warm even though we are into their autumn now.
So after a good nights sleep we headed down to the nearby beach in Ray's 4x4 for a drive on the beach (which is classified as a road.) There are speed limits and restrictions on the beach but there is not much traffic around most of the time. The beach stretches for miles, soft black sand, rough sea, with few people in sight, we could have stayed there all day.
Instead we took the car up onto the sand dunes, and after a demonstration from Ray we had a go ourselves at off roading - brilliant, scary at times, especially when we came to the drops, but with some encouragement we were driving down them like pro's - LOL.
Then we went for a walk on the beach only to be nearly washed away unexpectedly by a rather large wave. Our jeans, which we weren't planning to wash for a few months, were soaked and covered in black sand.
We then went home and Laura's cousin Brian turned up to say hello. She had never met him before so it was cool to catch up with a few beers and we cant wait to meet the rest of the family on Friday.
On Wednesday we drove to One Tree Hill which has spectacular views over Auckland. The weather was great so we stayed up there for a while, took some pictures and then had a tour round the city. We stopped at the Kelly Tarlton aquarium. The Stingrays were the main attraction, measuring 2metres in diameter. Feeding time was interesting, they looked as though they were going to flatten the poor girl feeding them. We also saw penguins, sharks and many different types of fish, one of which reminded us of Sarah Heraghty! On the way back we stopped at The Kentish (oldest liscenced pub in New Zealand) for a couple of ciders before heading home for another yummy dinner.
Today was probably our best day so far. We woke up late as per usual this week and wondered into town. I watched in horror as an old man attempted to cut Laura's hair. This was the only appointment available and Laura's hair was looking pretty ratty so she went with it. The old man had very shaky hands and what was a twenty minute haircut seemed like a life time!I tried to contain myself as i watched him blow drying her already fluffy hair into a mega beau-font. Anyway, it turned out ok.
This afternoon, Ray organised a surprise trip. He wouldn't let on what he had planned, we only knew he was very nervous about it. We needed outdoor shoes, sunblock and a first aid kit, so we decided to bring trainers and a camera. We arrived at the top of a very steep hill and it became obvious from the sign with a horse on it that we were going horse trekking. Having never been on a horse, this was going to be a challenge. However, we didn't realise how challenging it would be until we started the decent into the valley. The ridge was approximately half a metre wide but the horses preferred to balance on the edge of the cliff - no exaggeration! For the first ten minutes we hung on the side of the horse in an attempt to make it move away from the edge, with no success.
As this was a 3 hour trek, we had no choice but to eventually trust our horses and surprisingly we did which meant we could appreciate the amazing views around us. The trek took us through the valley, through gates and over streams. Laura managed to canter on the beach - an experience I'll never forget as I hung on for dear life as Blacky (my horse) turned 360 degrees with one tug of the reins and sped off. I loved it so much I tried it again on top of the high ridge of the hill. We made it safely back to the lodge in one piece until Andrea jumped off her horse and it stood on her foot. Then Laura realised she had cut her hands to bits and we were both sun burnt! Despite this, we had a brilliant day and might take up horse riding when we get back!
Tomorrow were heading to Laura's cousin Brian's house to meet all the family, have a barbie and stay over to catch our Kiwi Experience bus on Saturday morning. We might not be able to update you for a while as our schedule is pretty packed full for the next two weeks but if u want to check out what we might be getting up to look at the Kiwi Experience website - were doing the Sheepdog tour.
We just would like to thank Ray for making the last few days so memorable and a great start to our trip.

We won't lie our first nights sleep (If that's what you can call it) was not a night we'd like to experience again. What with the people shouting, cats screaming and no circulation in the room, we were actually glad when we were told we could move rooms the next morning.
We Just chucked our backpacks on our backs and followed the woman down the corridor, not realising we had to go out onto Nathan Rd (Main Rd in Hong Kong.) still in our PJ's!
Despite this we were quite pleased with our new room, on the eleventh floor. We actually had a window, although it didn't let any light in as the building next to us was so close, and opening the window filled the room with a manky onion smell. We had more space to move about and a TV, with one English channel with fuzzy vision. Good times. (Its a scary thought that we both got quite comfortable living in this room by the end of our stay.)
Anyway lets talk about the good things we did. We went to a couple of markets including a night market, where we sat with the locals in a street cafe and ate a variety of Chinese dishes. By the end of the week Andrea became a pro with using chopsticks to eat. It was quite fascinating to watch the Chinese eat, how close they sat with their faces nearly in their bowls and how fast they would eat a bowl of noodles, often burping at the end. (A sign of appreciation - we think.)
Hong Kong its self is like a maze, if you want to get anywhere you often have to cross over busy roads, go through shopping centres, over walk ways and then up 2 flights of stairs and down one floor in a lift before you get there. (unless it was just us?)
On Hong Kong Island there is a pretty cool outdoor escalator which takes you up the hill a few miles, we hopped on this and hopped off in the SOHO district, for a few more Chinese beers.
Victoria peak (also on Hong Kong Island) has a fantastic view of the whole city. We took the tram up to this at night, the tram was a bit scary, but used as daily transport for many of the locals. Overall transport in Hong Kong is very cheap, a ferry across to Hong Kong island works out to be 20p each way.
We took a ferry over to Lantau Island, which is vastly different from Hong Kong. We took a local bus up to Ngong Ping to see the giant Buddha. We took some very touristy photos with the Buddha, climbed a lot of stairs and used the rest of our spending money for the day to get the cable car back down to Hong Kong Island. It was worth the money, but Andrea was sitting in the middle of the cart holding onto the rail the whole way down.
So we heard the Hong Kong 7's were on whilst we were there (Rugby for those who don't know.) We couldn't get tickets so instead we sat in the beer garden over the road with all the other losers who couldn't get tickets.
The atmosphere was buzzing, the game was on a big screen, and every other person was in fancy dress. We met up with my uncle Steve from England who had gone out especially to watch the tournament, in a funky pink shirt ;-)
We ended up partying into the night, which in hindsight probably wasn't the best idea with a long flight the next day!
Hong Kong was cool and by the end we were sad to leave, although excited to be going to New Zealand!

Hello followers

You'll be glad to know we have arrived safely in Hong Kong and have now offically been awake for 29 hours!
Despite this we are pretty proud of ourselves, as we have managed to get here, check in and see some sites.

We arrived yesterday at Heathrow 2 hours before we could check our backpacks in, we sat and ate most of the packed lunch mum made for us and took a photo with our travel buddy (SheeWee). I (Laura) started having second thoughts about leaving my straighteners behind, although if you were able to see us now, you'd think we'd been travelling for months! We have ditched our pumps, are wearing trainners and the same clothes we were wearing yesterday morning!
Our flight was cool, with touch screen TV's and free toothbrush/toothpastes for all.
Now there is only one word to describe our accomodation - Amazing, can't wait to show you the pics!
We were told by the man at reception we got this very very cheap!
We have 2 bunkbeds - tomorrow we are being moved to a one bedbunk room - If you can call it that.
Our toilet is in a closet and is our shower aswell - lol
The matresses are concrete and the roache catchers are just lovely.
Its a scary thought that we are already getting used to having to live in this box for the next 5 days, maybe the chinese beers we just drank are helping.
We went exploring around the city and maybe niavely we asked a chinese man who worked in a Irish bar if there were any chinese pubs. He replyed - ' Don't be so fucking stupid!'
We are now back at our hostel, reluctant to go to bed, so thought it a nice opportunity to update you guys on our adventures, which we're sure will continue and get better.
So 'joy geen' for now. xxx
