Backpacking

In 1993 I arrived in a hostel in Sydney Australia and within an hour met a Dutch guy called Kees Van Gelderen . We spent 5 days having a laugh in Sydney before he went to Canberra to see long lost relatives . I spent the next three weeks in Melbourne then Adelaide and then got on the bus I'd selected to take me up to Coober Pedy on route to Alice Springs . I sat down in my allocated seat 36a . Kees got on within minutes and sat in his allocated seat ;36b . Late on the same trip as I was travelling down the East coast I met a girl from the U.K. called Vikki when waiting for a four wheel drive excursion to Fraser island off Hervey bay . Two years late when I was back in Australia travelling with my then girlfriend ,now wife ,we were on a bus between Byron Bay and Surfers paradise and as we got off the bus there was Vikki seated about ten rows ahead on her first return visit since also .
