The weather forecast is improving for the next few days.I'm not feeling too good today, I woke up with severe vertigo - I have an inner ear problem which makes itself known now and again - and so I am going to do a bit of shopping (chemist, plus need some food and a new set of headphones for my iPod) and then sit around reading novels for the rest of the day! It's hammering down so I won't be missing anything. I should then be fine by tomorrow. I've been wearing ear plugs because, although this is a nice reasonably quiet hostel, there's still some noise at night, and I think these have caused the problem.I have also altered my plans a bit. Instead of flying out of Australia on June 12th I am now leaving on May 26th, basically as it's too expensive! I was hoping to spend longer in Asia but Qantas said that I have to catch a flight out of Thailand within 30 days due to visa restrictions - but I can change it when I get there. As I am planning to go into Malaysia and back anyway, that should solve the 30 day visa problem. Mind you I did have to pay Qantas $164 for a few mouse clicks and an A4 sheet of paper!I knew Australia had become more expensive since I was last here in 1997, but what I didn't realise was just how expensive. :eek!:'Crimson' Rosella on Flickr now changed to Eastern Rosella.</blockquote>
