My apologies that my last post was to wish everyone a Happy New Year and now we are just days away from March, however I have good reason, I have been away, no laptop, and in most cases no phone signal!
So, what's the best way that I can can give you an overview of the last 2 months, best plan keep it brief, so here goes:
Koh Samui - Go there now, stunning Island!! Play the name the runner (or walker game) email for details.
Full Moon Party - Go its an experience, but for gods sake take a private charter, spend the money its worth it!
Kangaroo Island - Remote, no phone signal, lots of wallaby's, no penguins!
Byron Bay - Give Byron a miss and avoid the f%cked up hippies hanging on to yester year, head to Suffolk Park - not a person in sight for miles, the beach is all yours.
Traveling - Fly Virgin Blue, never Jet Star or Qantas for that matter!! Or take a road trip like we did.
That's all folks....
FIJI here we come!!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all Just Ben followers and readers!
I'm hoping that you all had an awesome New Years Eve. It's taken me a couple of days to get my first post of the New Year sorted so apologies for the wait, but its been a busy few days.
New Years Eve in Sydney should be something that everyone does at least once in the their life. The buzz that the city takes on is like nothing I have ever seen, and if I am honest beats London hands down.
I started the day with lunch at the Fish Market with a few friends and recommend that any Sydney newbies head down just as soon as they can. We thought we cap the afternoon off with some sparkling, I was pleasantly surprised that the $8.99 Clean Skin Sparkling could taste much better than most at least double the price.
Once darkness started to descend on Sydney, the city came to life with people on every patch of green with any vantage point of my favourite bridge. We were comfortable on my balcony with a view that was second to none!

The fireworks at 9pm, were out of this world, and just a taster of the most amazing show I have ever seen at Midnight! They filled the skies with a spectrum of colours that will leave all future displays muted. The fireworks just went on and on and left everyone with that feeling you had when you saw your first catherine wheel or held your first sparkler.
If you do one thing plan your trip so that you are here for NYE!
