Dear Hettie,
I woke up pretty early this morning...but my nights sleep was so epic I'm not complaining. The bird noises here are so funny. The ones this morning sounded like R2D2. I know you haven't seen Star Wars, so google it.
Today, I am going snorkelling in Parsley Bay. There are sharks but behind a net. I will buy an underwater camera to take some phots for. In the meantime, this is what I'll look like:

What a babe! A burnt babe.

I'll fill you in on the after effects. I'm sure there'll be more burn to come.

Love you, miss you.

Dear Hettie,
Sorry, the last post didn't make sense. After I posted it, I realised the previous one had deleted. I was just moaning about the woman sitting next to me smelling (her feet were so bad) and then she tried to feed me a banana. It was so weird.

Getting out the airport was stressful, but after that I went to bondi beach and saw the bondi rescue team!!

And then I had a fit lunch of sweetcorn fritters...

You'll be really surprised to hear that after 3 hours in Australia, I was sunburnt. It was overcast and I didn't even think! I was too  distracted by seeing bondi rescue I think...

Now I'm having BBQ'd sausage. What an Australian day ay! We'd have so much fun if you were here!!

Love you and miss you,

Dear Hettie,
Found the headphone socket AND got a veggie lunch!

It was veggie curry...not great with a window seat, but only time will tell...

Dear Hettie,
Since posting 5 minutes ago, I've now found my headphones AND found the Steely Dan box set. Double yes!
Only another 5 hours to go till Dubai... Hmm. Expect more posts.

Dear Hettie,
I'm writing this post from the plane. Seriously dude, what the fuck?! Since when can you use the Internet on planes??
I am writing this and listening to the Beatles on the screen. There are two guys next to me. Disappointingly, neither are particularly attractive, and even more depressingly, I think they are both English. So much for joining the mile high club with a surfer dude called Brett. If the male aesthetics don't improve on the connecting flight, I'm coming home.
AND I forgot to specify I'm a dirty vegetarian, so my choices are lamb or chicken. Paaaaaaaaaaass.
And I lost my plane headphones so the Beatles are really crackly.
Ok, seems like I'm moaning a lot... But on the flip side, they have Wreck-it Ralph as a film choice. And I get free prosecco. Woop woop!
Touch base soon.
Love you, miss you.

Dear Hettie,
I am writing this from the car on the way to the airport. The Disney soundtrack is blaring out and my sister is crying every few songs. At the moment it's that one from Pocahontas. I think we sang along to it together once on a sofa Sunday. Sob. I can't believe I am on my way. I'm shitting myself.
My mum made me take that poxy cork hat in my hand luggage. I don't think they let English people in the country with those. Maybe I'll mysteriously lose it at the terminal.
Now it's Zero to Hero.
Anyway, I love you lots and miss you more. Hopefully will have more to report later on.
