Adelaide-Bendigo

Monday 22nd
I flew early on Monday morning. Sophie came to the airport with me and waited for her parents to arrive around the same time as I set off.
I landed in Adelaide at around 8.30am and spent the day with Gina preparing to set off on our drive the next day. I also got to see my little friend jess again!!!

Tuesday 23rd
We hit the road early at 6.30am as we drove from Adelaide to bendigo in Victoria, about an hour from Melbourne, where we were heading to spend Christmas with Sarah and her boyfriend Luke's family.

The tale of the Sad Selfie Stick

Once upon a time there was a girl called nicola who was living in coogee. She worked in Sydney and saved all of her money so that she could go and travel. The time had come for her to take a trip to visit her family in Australia for Christmas! 
So after packing her suitcase for hours (a terrible task) everything she owned was safely packed in her bedroom ready for her trip the next day. 
Until... Suddenly, an almighty huge gust of wind came and somehow blew her bedroom door shut AND MIRACULOUSLY managed to slam the bolt shut on the door! Don't ask how!!!!!! Nicola didn't know either! 


So there she was, stuck on the other side of the door, practically stranded in Australia on the other side of the world without a single thing to her name, her suitcase is locked deep inside the bolted bedroom!!!! 
Meanwhile, over the past seven weeks her housemate Jonny had a selfie stick, which was far too big to actually use as a selfie stick. None of the housemates knew what to do with such a thing and so they banished it to the corner of the living room without any sense of purpose!
Poor nicola didn't know what to do! She was all forlorn! 
When out of the blue, her housemates Sean and Jonny soon realised, IT WAS FATE THAT HE HAD THE WRONG SELFIE STICK THE WHOLE TIME! 

The selfie stick finally found it's purpose, I got back into my room with all my belongings and travelled happily on to Gina's.
THE END.

Success!!!

Last weekend of 2014 in coogee

Coogee Christmas weekend 
Saturday 20th- Sunday 21st

Such a great final weekend of the year in coogee before my Christmas trip! 
Saturday was spent celebrating our neighbour Sophie's birthday (left) consisting of a night out with all our other housemates at bondi junction! Great fun! 


On the Sunday we opened our secret Santa presents for each other before going down the road to the beach to watch the coogee carol concert which we sang along to for two hours before a phenomenal firework display off the cliff top by the beach! Amazing!
