Am in acityofwonder's! I actually caught my bus and made it to Brisbane on my lonesome with no problems. Feel v. pleased with self. :D I have a very fluffy cat* sleeping at my feet, Good News Week downloading (for free! but very slowly) off iTunes and many, many shiny plans for the rest of the time I'm here. All is awesome.

* I wish to steal him. Sssshh. Don't tell Kellie! ;) Even though she's reading over my shoulder.

Also, in a week I'll only have one more morning left in Australia (until June anyway) before I fly to New Zealand. So really, that's over a third of the trip gone.

It feels like I only just got here. Sigh. Met a lovely guy from London on the bus up from Sydney who'd been travelling for a year and still had another year to go after three months home over the summer. I had envy. Going to try and meet up when I'm in London in June for a drink and continued envy. The people you meet backpacking are so, so awesome. Hopefully I'll meet some crazy LotR fans in NZ. I wish I had a slashy LotR t-shirt to wear so any slashers could pick me out and we could squee together. Hm. Or even just a "Still not King" one.

I forgot to say that while in Canberra with mayakitten, we saw a student with a bag covered in Doctor Who badges, including things like "VOTE SAXON", "BEWARE THE WEEPING ANGEL, love from the Doctor" and "I SURVIVED THE TIME WAR". I desperately wanted to pouncetackle her and declare my love for Australian Doctor Who fans for being awesome.

I also kind of wanted to steal her badges but searching has just thrown up this site so now my life is all good. I should actually check out getting them while I'm here in Oz because the postage is cheaper. Hm.

Tomorrow. Now I have an eighteen hour bus trip to sleep off while GNW downloads. :D I hope I can still iTunes them all when I'm back in the UK too.

Sounds like you're having a FAB time, and well done with the Lancs T-Shirt... Represent us Lancs graduates! Continue to have fun and the badges are ALL AWESOME. If you buy too many by accident I could take them off your hands :DD

Totally off topic, but I've just given falln your email addy.. she's totally in to meet up. Assuming I haven't left it too late and your time is already planned.

No that's awesome! I'm heading back to Brisbane on the 28th until the 30th, or I'll probably be heading that way for a sightseeing trip one day too, so I'm sure we can work something out. :D Yay!

(Also I'll probably be sending you a box of souvenirs I've bought already, so I can pick them up in June and not have to carry them around New Zealand. My bag is uh, kind of heavy now *facepalm*. I can't resist souvenir shops. I'll let you know when/if I send it though, so you know to look out for it.)
