Tuesday 11th December 2007 - Arrived in Sydney after the worst bus journey ever!! We had a big fella in the seat in front of us who I thought was gonna pop it on the bus. He was coughing, snorting and making all sorts of noises before getting a nose bleed. He then got up and wondered down the bus asking all the women sitting by themselves if he could sit next to them and chat. Not pleasent. Found the hostel and went straight to bed. Walked around the area in the afternoon and then went back to bed.
12/12/07 - Thought the last hostel was loud, turns out the people in this hostel think its fun to bang there heads on the wall right by head and shout and scream in the corridor at 3/4am. Ah well. Did a spot of surfing today only went in 3 times. Nice bit of excerise for once. Had an early one tonight apart from when our Finish friend woke us up!! Apparently every night is a party night for him.
13/12/07 - Another day of surfing although it was so big I actually had to convince Jonny to come in. I thought I was the one who couldn't surf, what a wimp!! Tried to get another early one tonight but apparently the party is in our room tonight courtesy of our Finish friend Joni!!
14/12/07 - Another day of surfing, i'm getting really good now ....... NOT!! At least i'm standing up most of the time. Checked out the town tonight in preparation for Tom Shaw coming over.
15/12/07 - Tom Shaw arrived today and that would be the end of the cheap days, apparently money is of no objective any more. Tom bought a board and we hit the surf. It was Montezuma's in the evening (Mexican). Nice!!
16/12/07 - Australia v New Zealand 1 day cricket today and we have tickets. Looking forward to this big time til I woke up saw it was raining. The sun came out a bit later and we made our way to the Sydney Cricket Ground. The match started off superbly with the ozzies getting 3 out in 3 overs then half way through the 6th over the rain came back and that would be the end of the cricket. We hung around for a few hours hoping for it to go away but it was cancelled at 7pm. Whilst waiting the crowd enjoyed a paper aeroplane competition and beach ball in the stands. A good day out.
17/12/07 - Bit of a lie in before hitting the surf, then popped to the Wharf bar in the evening where everyone was dressed in santa outfits, awesome bar.
18/12/07 - Surfing again and i'm even better now, had some really good washing machine action in the boneyard!! Then back to the Manly Wharf bar for 12 dollar pizza and beer, barry argin, well as close to a bargain as it will be with Tom here.
19/12/07 - No surf today, so uploaded some photos for you all to see. Pimps and Hos night at the hostel in the evening, what a funny night.
20/12/07 - Spot more surfing was on the cards today before popping to the surf shops to invest in yet another pair of boardies. Ian you don't need anymore!!!
21/12/07 - Last day down in the Manly backpackers today so we thought we would enjoy a nice meal down at the Corso. Thanks to the Viking we got staff discount, good work that man!! Also got interviewed by some tv channel while we were eating which was interesting. We didn't have a clue what they were talking about ah well. Hit the Wharf bar with some Isle of man fellas and had a fun night out.
22/12/07 - Checked out and headed for the Sydney Central YHA, the end of an era almost.
