Roughing it. Blondes on top and bottom....bunk!

10 Days of roughing it in Brisbane, Cairns, and Melbourne. Conditions were harsh, we had no internet and had to share a bathroom with at least 3o other people. It was traumatic. Jeri cried once. I wept in my sleep a few times. But truth be told, we had a great time in the Aussie hostels even though most of you complained that we did not keep up the blog! (it wasn't our fault!) We got to meet lots of people, and share our adventures with other adventurers. Here is a nice view of our sleeping arrangement. It was a bit like being 6 again! Jeri won the top bunk! (which by the way is not as fun when you are 25, it is rough climbing up and jumping down in old age!-- it will require at least a month of chiropractic care). Not to mention that we were the oldest people in the hostels. We were surrounded by 18 year old girls who were amazed we were still alive at 25 (how could anyone be THAT old!?)

True Conversation:
Girl (Stephanie) to Sara: "Hey are you here on holiday?"
Sara, "Oh yes, just for 5 weeks."
Stephanie: "Oh cool, I am in Uni (University) here. How old are you?"
Sara: "I'm 25"
Stephanie: (Gasp) "Well, you look good."
Sara : "Um... thanks."
