DAY1&2 (Austraaalia)

Wholly fuck, I knew I would do something extremely stupid at some point on this journey and yes today was the day. Within 24 hours of embarking on my 1 year trip my passport was destroyed. Who would have thought that leaving a paper document to soak in spilt alcohol would compromise its integrity. Day 2 has just come to an end and I was on the phone all morning, the prognosis was that I needed to get to Sydney (from Melbourne) to get a replacement at the jaw dropping cost of $AUS622 (seriously, does the NZ government need to pay for this stadium with internal affairs revenue), so yeah if anyone from QBE insurance is reading this then you will be expecting a rather unpleasant call from me in the next few days!
