MAROONED: The fate of an Australian traveller on the picturesque Amalfi Coast is hanging in limbo tonight.

EURO TRASH: A Sydney woman says her holiday to the Spanish party Island Ibiza is being overrun by ‘absolute blow-ins’ from Bondi. “I’m so sick of all these muppets,” says Marcia La Rosa. “They think they’re cool coming to Ibiza, but they are literally just sheep all following each other.” Marcia La Rosa says she travelled to Ibiza to ‘unwind,’ and for a short break from Bondi’s pretentious scene. “But now I’m completely surrounded by it,” she says. “I bumped into my yoga instructor, my barista, and my annoying ex-boyfriend, all within two hours of landing.” “It feels like I’m…
