Australia, I love you.

So, as you can see by the title of this blog, I love Australia.
We're currently in our fourth location up the coast, and it's not only living up to my expectations but it's exceeding them everyday.

So far we've spent time in the beautiful city that is Sydney, the quiet yet pretty town of Coffs Harbour, party central Byron Bay, and we're currently in Surfers Paradise; it really is paradise.

Staying in hostels has been an interesting experience.. We were spoilt in Sydney with a large room with an en-suite and an amazing power shower. Our rooms since then have been slightly smaller, less air-conned and minus our own bathroom.
However, we've been lucky to share our rooms with some nice people, hopefully people who we'll now stay in touch with.
Nights out have also allowed us to meet other travellers and habitants of Australia, all with different reasons for being here and all with fantastic plans for their life!

I can't really explain why I have fallen so in love with Australia, but it now feels like home and I already know I want to save up to come back as soon as possible. And despite bad weather warnings around Queensland and NSW, so far we have been extremely lucky with the weather.. *touch wood*

Next stop for us is Brisbane, where our main activity will be visiting the Steve Irwin zoo which is meant to be amazing. But will it live up to last week in Coffs where I got a kiss from both a seal and a dolphin?!

Anyway, writing all this on an iPod is quite hard work, so I'll write a longer post next time I use a computer :)

And a suggestion for anyone who hasn't been to Australia.. You probably should!

Lots of love from down under xoxo
