All is good in fiji. well the military did take over the government which is not good, but it had been a non violent take over. we went through a military checkpoint yesterday with soldiers armed with machine guns and they all waved and yelled bula to us, wich means welcome, or hello. very friendly!! we went to some wicked hot springs and mud pools, where you bathe in mud and cover your whole body in it., it was awesome, like a spa mud treatment only different. It was great, other than that we've been doing a whole lot of sitting by the pool and not al ot else. trying to not spend too much money. but yeah 2 weeks left!!! then christmas YAY

hi, I don't know if anyone is still reading this thing because it's been so long. but if anyone is, we are now in FIJI!! YAY, it's really really hot and beatiful. We've been to two kava ceremonies, which are welcoming ceremonies where you drink the traditional drink with everyone, and we made bracelets out of coconuts. We also went snorkelling and kayaking and have done a lot of lying on the beach and in hammocs. It's a tough life but I guess someones gotta live it. I know its crazy but I am jealous of all the snow. I hope it's still there when I get home. Only 2 weeks now. this morning we ate mangoes off someones tree for breaky, sooo good. anyways love and miss you all. and see you soon!!

We're in New Zealand now. Just got to Aukland yesterday. It seems like a cool city, lots of stuff going on anyways. It poured rain quite a bit yesterday but it's not too cold. We can see this big tower downtown from our hostel window and we can see people bungy jumping off it and stuff. Very cool. The flight was good, but we we're pretty sad to leave Australia. It's an absolutely amazing country, full of so much awesome stuff that I never even knew existed. I'm pretty sure we'll all be back there one day. But yeah, saying that its on to the next adventure I guess. Today we're gonna figure out what we're gonna do here and how we'll get around the country etc. So yeah, hope everyone is well at home. xoxo

HEllo! I am in MElbourne now at last and it is kinda chilly. Probly not like home though so I'm not complaining. We did a whole day tour of the great ocean road which was unbelievably cool. It's the road from Melbourne to Adelaide which is South Australia and it's along the coast pretty much thewhole way. We stopped at Bel's beach, one of the most famous surf beach in the world. And went for a walk through the temperate rainforest at Mait's rest. It was beautiful, we saw 2000 year old eucalyptus trees and ferns that were 3 times as tall as us. SO green and pristine. Parts of the coastline were just straight down cliffs for miles and you look out into the the ocean and can see the horizon curve all the way around and you feel like you're in the middle of a circle. It the most intense feeling of expanse I've ever experienced and it makes you feel really tiny standing on those cliffs. We saw the 12 apostles and hung out for sunset which was one of those crazy golden rays coming out of the bottom of the clouds ones, really beautiful. The apostles are huge free standing rock stacks that we're worn away and seperated from the cliffs over time. Definitely one of the most surreal things I've ever seen. We also stopped and found a bunch of wild koala's and fed wild parrots. It was a really good day. Tonight we head to Sydney and we'll check out Bondi and Manley beach in the next couple days, then off to New Zealand on the 7th. xoxox

yo yo everyone. Sorry it has been forever, it is really hard to find time to communicate right now cause we've been so busy but I guess that is sorta the point of the trip. So since last time I wrote we have camped on the world's largest sand island, (Fraser) surrounded by dingos, seen rainbow beach (named that because there are 25 different colours of sand there) spent a knight in 1770, been to Airlie beach, sailed for 3 days through the whitsunday islands and hung out on one of the top 3 rated most beautiful beaches in the world (whitehaven beach), snorkled on the great barrier reef, spent a knight in townsville and have just today arrived in Cairns. All in like a week and a half and like 1000 k later, here we are. I has been incredible!! Sailing was unreal, the first night we all drank a bunch of goon, and played drinking games. The skipper and the deckhand (Jimmy and Eddy) were probly the drunkest of everyone. We all slept out on the deck and woke up to rain and wind and rocky seas. Half the ppl were sick off the side, a combination of seasickness and hungoverness. The choice was being freezing and soaking on the deck or seasick down below in the cabin. We were definitely starting to wonder why we paid a heap of money for this torture. We got to whitehaven beach and the sky cleared and the sun came out as if it was meant to be. It was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my entire life. It was paradise. Later that day we snorkled with our full body stinger suits on. It was amazing, so many different kinds of coral and one of the guys saw a 2m long shark, yikes. That's when I went in!! We say parrotfish, like living rainbows swimming by your face. SOO COOL!!!! The third day, the sun came out and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Beautiful. It's been good. So I will try to write more soon. MIss and love everyone xoxoxox

lone pine koala sanctuary, outside of Brisbane. SO CUTE!!

This is a picture I took today on a walk we did in a national park in Noussa. Beautiful sunset.

hi, we went to brisbane, it was sort of barely worth talking about. Not our favorite city at all. today we drove to Noussa heads and we are in love with it, I think even more than Byron. It's beautiful, rivers and the ocean, beautiful surf beaches and a national park you can walk around the headlands, full of koalas. We are staying with a wonderful woman named Karen who we met in Byron at our campground. She has already shown us amazing hospitality, she cooked us an amazing dinner and she made us home at her beautiful home, right on the water. It's like a palace to us after living in a van for 3 weeks. She has 2 sons and an italian exchange students. We will stay here a couple nights.we've had great luck this trip. love xoxo
