Off To See The Wizard

gives them time to hide the body.

Good job I bush-camped then!

Just read on the Emirates site today that the check in baggage allowance has gone up 10kg from 20 to 30. Bonza!

Iced coffee from a servo runs to $3 now! TimTams were $2.29 from Wollies or Safeway or whatever they like to call themselves. You can get TimTams here now, I did a direct comparison last week with p-p-p-p-penguins and penguins are shit :) The only decent Cadburys chocolate was from Australia even though some mugs import the rubbish British stuff. You'd get a good 250gm bar of Aussie Cadburys Dairymilk for $3. Cappucino on DeGraves in Melbourne - $4. This info is 3 months old now though.
Hippy whats the deal with Mildura? When I was there, I wanted to stay for just one night but everyplace would only take me if I stayed a week. Am I just that awesome???

One night? You were clearly only there for the sex trade so they were rightly concerned. :)

Three weeks!

holy crap, you can get return flights to melb for £389 with singapore airlines!

Almost the day!

Bike is packed in a card box and padded with clothes pillows and bubblewrap. Good job the limit was raised to 30kg!

Fingers crossed it gets there in one piece!

all the best dude, make sure we catch up in the near future...

bon voyage! i'm sure you'll love it. and i'm sure i'll hit you up for floorspace to sleep at some point.

Off tomorrow then Dougie! Have a great time mate, I'm slightly jealous.

Hey mate. have a great time and maybe see you in melbs soon.

Got here! Love it so far.

Bike got here in same number of pieces it left in. Built it up when I arrived. Not had chance to ride much yet, but looking forward to doing some this week.

BTW - Don't try carrying your D-Lock in hand luggage. Mine was taken by Heathrow customs. WAC.

Aussie custom on the other and found my Phil Wood sprocket (after I took more of my previously checked in luggage as hand luggage on a domestic flight). Suggested I check it in next time, then wished me a good flight!

Glad your bike got there ok and you're loving it.

WAC but I reckon you could knock out a few trolly dollies and pilots with a NY lock. Not sure what you could really do with a phil sprocket, hypnotise them into submission (if new)..?

So what happens to your lock now? Some cycling customs cunt gets it I suppose?

Not much good without a key...

Just had the same lock issue flying back from Amsterdam.... Took my Mini Evo as it was 'dangerous' despite almost every other passenger carrying litre glass bottles of duty free.... Guess glass bottles are 'Safe' as their making money out of them ;) off to buy another lock then.... Oh and they didn't even want the key as they said it would be thrown away....

Is now a good time to go to australia?

I have a rare opportunity of some free time in which I may cram a month and a bit of travelling. Thinking of going somewhere english speaking so I can try "get best value" by getting some work experience under my belt.

So USA or Australia really. Seems with Australia I can legally work and earn money with a working holiday visa. But I know much less about australia. Any tips anyone?

Cool shit to see?

I have some injuries so cant be doing any swimming btw...

Its cold as fuck, expensive as shit, and full of Australians.

Avoid.

Its good... but it IS cold, expensive and full of Aussies.

Balki, are you in London or Melbourn at the moment? Heading over to the Melbern Roobax in June.

ERIK - The winter is past, thank goodness, Freya. It is summer.
Of course, here in Canada, we're in the Age of Ragnarok, AKA Stephen Harper, The Iceman.
And it's more expensive than Australia.
