NO! SLEEP! TIL BRISBANE!!

Well some sleep, but I'll get to that. Basically if anyone reading this ever wants to travel by Greyhound Australia, please be aware they break down. A lot. I was supposed to leave Airlie Beach yesterday at 11.15. However, the bus got stuck in 2nd gear which is not really much use to me. I ended up getting bored waiting so I went to find the last 2 stragglers from Team Spring Break (Pete and John) left (stuck) in Airlie Beach. We hit the jugs to pass the time until 6pm when I finally could start my marathon journey to Brisbane. I finally arrived here about 1pm. Yes that's right. A 19 hour bus journey. On a broken seat. You can imagine how good a mood I am in. I slept, but only for about 40 minutes tops at a time. You sleep, but there's no rest.

Anyways. Here I am in Brisbane booked into "Somewhere to Stay"
on Tim Kelleway's recommendation. I'm hoping to find the Swiss lassies from Spring Break who are staying around here somewhere so that I can give Australia a "Goon Slapping" send off. Next post should be from Christchurch barring any nightmare scenarios involving me oversleeping.
