We go to a land down under – 6th – 7th January 2010

We had breakfast with M&D before catching a cab to the airport and checking in for the first leg: Krabi to Kuala Lumpur. We knew we had a few hours to kill in KL but having been there before we were happy we could amuse ourselves with all the restaurants! Our connecting flight was an overnight flight from KL to Gold Coast so we thought we’d catch some zzz’s on the flight and arrive in Oz refreshed. We hadn’t done any research before arriving in Australia with the foolish notion that as it was an English speaking country we’d have no problem navigating our way around, booking accommodation etc, etc. HOW WRONG WERE WE!!! Firstly we got NO sleep on the plane and when we landed we soon realised that this was no well connected airport….even worse than Cork! We had an extortionate breakfast and then had to sit in the carpark and wait for half an hour in the hope that a minibus would be headed to our destination – Byron Bay.
