Catch ya later Australia

I can't believe we've been in Australia for 3 months and now our time is up. We are off to Bali today.

We've had a lot of fun and met lots and lots of English, Irish, Scots and Welsh people, in fact its been like living back in the UK. Australia has felt a lot like home, apart from all the dangerous animals.

I must take a minute to say a fond (pah!) farewell to "dorms". We have met some truely awesome people in dorms but quite honestly I'm so glad I'm not sleeping in bunk beds anymore. Also I'm so glad to finally be away from the snorers, if Alan snores I poke him in the ribs or tell him to turn over, but you can't do this to a complete stranger. Alan got so cross with one bloke, he bought himself a water pistol in Byron Bay and I'm ashamed to say he has actually used it once or twice.

We have ticked off all the animals on our Australia list; dolphins, kangaroos, cockatoos, koalas, crocodiles and snakes. We've seen them in zoos and in the wild. The wild animals have been awesome to see but I still believe snakes should only be in zoos.

We didn't manage to eat any crocodile steaks but we have eaten kangaroo and it was nice.
