Hey Everyone,
hope everything is good back home. Thought it was about time I gave you all another update. Last time I wrote we were in Sydney. We did a day trip up to the blue mountains which was fabulous. We went on a bit of a bush walk for a few hours and went on the steepest train journey in the world which was literally vertical at some points!! It was more like being on a rollercoaster than a train!! We had a bit of a big night out after that to celebrate our last night in Side Bar!! It was fab at usual and ended up doing lots of crazy dancing with Nial and Lennie and Kim and Sarah. Our last day came around and we decided it was probably about time we climbed the opera house steps!! Sarah got too tired so I went it alone but I reached the top. Another thing to say you have done I guess!! We cooked up a massive meal tonight with Kim and had WAY too much food so ended up sharing it with 3 other people from Kims room. We always over-estimate the capacity of our stomachs!!
We finally left wake up on Saturday and headed up to Avoca for the Tubes for Googs surf competition. A surf competition organised by rachels boyfriend and his friends to raise money for people with spinal injuries. Me, Kim, Sarah, Kate, Laura, John, Damien, Jenny, Alex, Emma and lennie all missioned up to the beach and had a really fab day watching all the surfers and sunbathing!! We all headed back to Rachels and Seans when the surf was over and ordered SO many massive pizzas. Had quite a feast and then got ready to head down to Terrigal for the after party. It was a fab night of hilarious dancing and lots of good fun. The next day we headed back to the surf for the finals, the surfing really was top class!! The weather was perfect and literally 5 minutes before the last heat was over there was a severe weather warning!! We all mucked in to help pack up and Me, Kate, Laura, John, Sarah & Damien headed in to Gosford for a luxury night in a Travel Lodge!! We drank tea and ate soup and chocolate and watched TV in something of a celebration of the English Style rain storm gonig on outside!!
Monday we headed inland to a place called Winsor to spend a few days in Damiens house with his family. They have a beautiful home on a big ranch and it was fab to spend a few days relaxing and watching the boys wakeboarding in the Dam!! I had a bit of a scary experience during which 4 redbacks took up residence next to my bed (the 2nd most venemous spiders in the world) but I survived to tell the tale!! Haha.
After a few days we headed off to Brisbane with the intention of Working in the hostel bar. However as usual all did not go to plan and it was only me that ended up working as a cleaner!! I stuck it out as long as I could but both me and sarah realised we had made a mistake going to Bribane and have decided to continue traveling!! We had a good time there, lots of the Wake Up christmas crew were there and we all celebrated Australia day there together in true Ozzie style, spending the majority of the day drinking!! I also made $50 working as a barmaid for a fun run for the HASH harriers during which 60 runners made it their mission to get me as drunk as possible, who am I to refuse such an offer?!
Anyway, we have now left Brisbane and are quick footing our way around the South east coast! Back in Wake up at the moment but off to Melbourne on Thursday and then heading to Adelade and we are flying to Perth from Alice Springs on the 13th of Feburary!!
All is still well and we are still having a wonderful time!! we have learnt from our mistakes now. Just keep your fingers crossed Perth brings us some good luck!!
Love to you all
Amy xxxx
