Sydney

After being a pretty minging hostel the first night we checked into Wake Up, a wicked hostel right in the middle of town. On easter sunday I went and met Marcus,Jon and Simon ( guys from school) over on Manly for a nice sunny afternoon and a few bevvies. Wicked day catching up and talking about back in the day ha! Will and Pete from the tour came and met us all too. We have spent the rest of our time here in Sydney seeing the sights and fun times with the girls and guys from the tour :-)
Emily and Tom who are also staying at wake up met us on the monday and Will and we all went to see Sydney Opera house and climbed the pylon up Sydney Harbour Bridge, walked through the rocks. Fab day but really tiring. We visited bondi beach, coogee beach both of which were amazing. Lots of hot surfers and beach made bodies around. Bondi is a really cool part of Sydney too. There was a quiz tuesday night in Side bar which is actually down below our hostel so we went along to that knowing we wouldnt win but hey was fun. Will did the physical challenge which was to eat a whole weetabix, finish it and then blow up a balloon until it pops, he won which meant free drinks for our team....only later we found out he sneakily put half in his pocket! very funny, i had videoed it and it was caught on camera, hilarious! Thursday was another big night of fun and games which left friday for us to all die in unison alllllllll day in the hostel watching films! The weekend was fun and games too.......all a bit blurry!
Monday Jet arrived from Asia, it was her birthday and we had got cake, candles, a lil present and plans for the evening! So we headed out with our homemade picnic stuff and went to Botanica gardens, which are these beautiful gardens right next to the Opera house and on the water. Great afternoon chilling and chatting just us girls. Then back to the hostel to get ready for our big night. Our friend Claire has been staying with her Uncle over here and he had gone away on business on Sunday so we all walked round to Claires for dinner. Me and Em got there early and decorated with banners and party hats. Great evening, lots of wine and girly fun followed by a VVVVVVV messy night where mine and Claires memory is yet to come back, after the tequilas it was game over and apparently we didnt know our own names.....eeeek! We did however make it back to the flat! well done us!
Sunday was spent chilling out, much needed. Jet wanted to go out so Em and Nat went downstairs with her whereas me and Claire were lame and watched films in her uncles penthouse ( oh yeh forgot to say he has a penthouse apartment - lush!), we thought we'd lap up the luxury while we could plus my head felt like an elephant was sitting on it! So thats was Sydney, wicked time and now onto Surf camp followed by Byron Bay :-)
