I'm a terrible blogger....

To anyone who possibly still follows this, I can;t begin to say how sorry I am. Life got in the way of blogging and all its goodness. I'll pick up where I left off. Last time I was in Phuket in +45 heat and a UV index through the roof. I took a bus ride with a Swiss German girl, Debi, that I met in my hostel in Bangkok.  We took a 22 hour bus ride to Phuket after a long night of drinking the night before at Route 66 in Bangkok. Route 66 was fantastic - $30 for all you can drink in 6 litre buckets. They had coat and gun check at the front door when you got there. Had such a fun night with the girls there. Minus the one douche bag that decided to put ice and vodka in my shoes that I left under the table! Left for Phuket the next morning on a 22 hour bus ride from hell. The air conditioning was 50/50 on the bus, the toilet was just a bucket and I'm pretty sure our driver was drunk. We made 2 stops in 22 hours at these seedy seedy trucker stops along the highway. The vendors up the price on everything and then even charge you for toilet paper if you need to use the toilet!! Arriving in Phuket though, it was 100% worth it. The hostel I stayed at was a 5 minute walk away from Patong Beach and 15 minutes from Bangla Road. Bangla Road is just chock a block with shopping, bars and strip clubs. Had so much fun during the 5 days I was there with Debi. We met a British brother and sister that we hung out with for the 5 days. So much tanning and fun with them - classic moment when Richard didn't pay his tuk tuk fare and the driver was chasing him with a bamboo rod full of rice and rocks for the $5 fare. 


I've been in Sydney for 6 weeks now. The first month was absolutely great. Alex and I took a 5 day road trip to the mountains, Melbourne and along the great ocean road to the 12 apostles and sights along the shore. We even picked up an Irish hitch hiker outside of Melbourne. She was trying to get to Perth which is like trying to get from Toronto to Vancouver! Since then I've been to a 21st costume dress up party as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I've been to Matt and Courtney's wedding with Alex and had a ball. Also managed to get a fantastic job in downtown as a barista and now I am working as a pastry chef too! Been a wonderful first month in Australia and I'm so keen to see what the next year has to bring. That's all for now untli I have more time for a bigger update. Thanks for reading <3
