BekOz

Hello all,

I've decided to Blogg my travels from now on to keep you all up to speed on life the other side of the world! I love being a day ahead of almost everyone I know! For thoes of you still in the dark I'm backpacking around Australia with friends Lucy(aka Dottie) and Laura(aka luggins).

The last group email I sent we were about to depart our luxuary life style in Sydney and become real slumming-it-backpackers. With heavey hearts we left Daniel (our concierge) and the last Krispy kream shop in Australia and set off on the greyhound up the coast headed for Coffs Harbour.

At Coffs we entered what Luce calls a byker-grove-style hostel called Aussitel. We pretty well had our own room for the whole stay. There's really not too much going on in Coffs but it's a lovely laid back little town full of very friendly people.

It was here that laura and I decided to embark on an open water scuba diving course. Thoes of you who have known me long will not be surprised to hear that I had no clear idea what this would entail. I have very firmly and (I've come to believe) sensibly held prejudices against having water in my nose,ears or eyes. It certainly is NOT natural to breath under water, and shall not be attempted in the future.

I'll update my disasterous encounters with scuba next time- my time's up and I'm off to bed!
