Bus down to Surfers Paradise, not a long journey at all, which made a nice change. We stayed a night with Izzy's family, which was lovely. And then over to our hostel for New Years Eve. Now I had not heard good things about Surfers Paradise from other backpackers- very commercialised, a bit sleasy, and despite the name, not very good for surfing at
all! Anyway you have to make your own mind up about places don't you. Shame they were right. Ha ha, yeah it wasn't really my cup of tea, but you make the most of things don't you. And we met up with Ari and Lucy, which meant that the company would be great. We got a big group of people together for the festivities and it was smiles all round bringing in the New Year! Yeah we all had a really good night out, great laugh- hello 2010! Let's see what this year brings eh.So Australia, in my opinion is a tad over-rated. Controversial? Probably. Anyway as a backpacker it is far too expensive, hard to enjoy a place when all you can think about is money. So, Isobel and I have decided to cut our Oz trip short by ten days, which we are going to spend instead in... Bali! I absolutely cannot wait. To Indonesia then! How I love Asia prices, and the culture, I think I am going to enjoy Bali very much.
