hey all!!!! well quick update on my life as its all go go go from now onwards...but considering i've actually done very little in the last 10 days you'd of thought i could have made it online!!!
Monday 7th May: Rubbish day as in raining and just spent the day wandering around surfers, drinking starbucks (without it, my world would be incomplete!!) and going on the net. decision day: decided to stay in australia for a bit longer and see some more islands before returning home!
Tuesday 8th May: Again, same as yesterday apart from the weather was nicer so was nicer to chill at the hostel. everywhere was dead at night so had an early night in bed!!!
Wednesday 9th May: Move day again! Coach from surfers up to brisbane and then flight from brissie to sydney... our travel pattern has been rather strange and irratic.. a true reflection of me as a person i guess!! ended up sitting by myself having such a peaceful trip on the plane (apart from the 5 minutes on take off where i was convinced i was going to die!) until gabi came to cause choas and to sit next to me! never a dull moment with her!! lovely view as we flew next to the opera house though... it even shut gabi up for 2 mins!! Staying in Newtown at this hostel/permanent kind of place.. and for $10 a night with a light brekkie included its a travellers paradise! i really like ti as everyone is so polite and the residents there rock!! WEnt out for chinese for dinner then realised my life was actually over. over in that i had lost my whole entire make up case, including all my brand new rather epxpensive MAC make up. needless to say, i was devastated!!
\Thursday 10th MAy: Went into central sydney with gabi and lotta to find a starbucks, was introduced to new york cheesecake, another new addiction i feel.. funny last night but can't really explain on here but will tell all when i get home!!!
Friday 11th May: Went shopping today with bex and had a rather successful day/// i say this.. i did intend to buy all my new make up but i actually ended up getting 2 pairs of jeans and 2 tops... but for a whopping 35pound total,, it was a good shop!!! Got back and bex had a phone call from tony re. getting into the pink show that night so it was a last minute get ready dash to try and get to the arena on time. ended up running half way across sydney with no shoes on, but awesome show,, had an awesome time prancing around at the back...she pulled some funny faces at us and indeed when she sung 'tony blairs resigned,,, now why don't you?' in dear mr president... we were like WTF???? its amazing how much news you miss when travelling... and trust pink to inform us!!!
Saturday 12th May: well after the worlds longest power nap i was ready to be a tourist again. i think i'm a bit like an ipod. if you charge me too often i lose power quicker!!! the more i sleep the more tired i am.. and as lotta pointed out.. i should be an insomniac the amount of cafeeine i drink!!! Got a bus to the harbour with the girls, watched a street performer for an hour or so then bex and lotta cooked dinner for everyone back at the hostel which was nice to all sit down. another early night.. appears my partying has caught up with me!!
Sunday 13th May: Went online to sort out some trips, walked an eternity to find gloria jeans coffee, woke bex up in the afernoon and decided to go to the cinema that night. watched a film called noise. it was such a strange and retarded film!!!!! it was a film about noise that ended in a blank screen and silence.. we had no idea it finished and ended up reading the review board with the rest of the ppl to try and find out what the story was actually about!!! was cool though.. for the equivalent of about 25 pounds we got 2 glasses of champers, 2 ice creams, 2 huge bags of chocs and a rather comfy seat!!! so after that we headed to the pizza place next to our hostel and i ate so much could have popped!! gorgeous meal and wodnerful night however!
Monday 14th May: Headed into central again with bex where i had my mak eup done at the body shop and successfully managed to replace all of my make up kit,, though was not the cheapest, but indeed i am now happy i have my war paint back on! (ok so clearly i hadn't been make up free as we all know that would never happen!!) went for cocktails in the evening at the sly fox and depsite the fact my first one was non-alcoholic,, i arrived home slightly tipsy, rather merry and also in a shopping trolley. classy!
Tuesday 15th May: early start to get a 3 hour train to katoomba with bex where we met her nanna who was taking us out for the day! first and most improtant stop was coffee... then after that it was to view the blue mountains at katoomba where we also saw the 3 sisters... it was brethtaking,,, almost prehistoric. i could have stood there for hours but was a little chilly so next we headed to the railway where we went on the world steepest incline railway in the world! its so steep you start off horizontal and end up standing on the way down... and yes.. there was a few swear words tumbling from my mouth!!!! quick walk at the bottom before an equally eventful journey back up the railway!
Onwards to Leurra where we had a gorgoues lunch ( my very first BYO experience!) before doing a little window shopping in the little town. Went into heaven next.. it was a sweet store with every single kind fo sweet you could ever have wanted.. and it was all old style.. many happy childhood memories!!! after this we apparently drove 2 1/2 hours to Crunella (sp?) to aunt julies. i say apparently as i was asleep for the entireity.. as was bex. sociable bints aren't we??? had an awesome time with my new found counsins and ordered pizza for dinner before returning to the hostel for some more sleep!!!
Lots and lots of exciting things planned for the next few days... i fly back to gold coast on the 17th where its all onwards and upwards as i'm off to visit Noosa, Hervey Bay and Fraser island. I'm so exicted... the trips look absolutely amazing and a perfect, relaxing way to end my trip after all the partying of the last 2 weeks...
Mum: i had not forgotten your birthday (ok so perhaps i may have done, but only for a split second!!!) so i hope you have an absolutely wonderful day. Can't wait to hear what sal has planned for you, sounds fun. i shall take you to dinner when i get home (ok so we all know that that means we'll go for dinner and mama will pay!!! hehe!) love to grandad and hope the christening goes well! will email you later on about my flights, if not, will email you in a couple of days when i get back to gold coast. happy birthday xxx
