Hey everybody, sorry it been a while since the last post, but I've had to acclimatise to the local bevvy!!
Monty and I flew into Sydney on the morning of the 22nd at around 6.30am, just in time to watch the sun coming up and hitting the rolling clouds as we decended, it was a spectacular sight! Once in the airport and through customs, we met up with a reaqlly friendly rep who drove us round the city on a whistle stop tour and then off to the hostel (which is really sweet)! We dumped our bags and that in our room where we met a really cool English lass (hi Elaine, hope your well!!) then it was off to meet miss Thexton and off to the pub(11am ism't too early for a pint, is it?)!
After wandering the streets of sydney for a while, with a 'just off the boat' look about us, it was time to go for dinner, meet up with wee Jenni, Emma amd Katie (hey ladies) and really paint the town red! It was a great night with drink, dancing and good pals!
Waking up with a very sore head I decided it was definately a day of rest on the cards, so it was lunch, walk in Hyde park, cinema (we watched Hot Fuzz, I nearly cried!!) dinner down at the Harbour where we took a night ferry accross the water(what a sight!!)then bed (by which time we had new roommates Rianna and Toya)!
It was tourist stuff next as Monty, Emma and I jumped on the open top bus for the grand tour!! We stopped off at the Circular Quay. visited the Opera house and Bridge (I promise I'll get my photos up soon, I've got hundreds), took a cruise and went to pick up my phone, which I had lost on the train the day before (Cheers Nick for handing it in!!) then it was back on the bus to finish the tour! This is when the Heavens openned! We ran for the pub, which is where I woulod stay for most of the night lol! Scotland won the footie with a last gasp goal (cheers for the updates Dave, these Aussies better show the Italy game!!!!) so I stayed out to celebrate til around 9am! Funnily enough I slept most of the rest of the day lol!
So now it's Monday the 26th and I've found my way down to Bondi beach (if your jealous, you should be) and am staying for a few days in a hostel with Nonty and Emma. We met two of our roommates, Anna and Sarah, who seem really nice girls!!
Anyway, I'm away for a walk alomg the beach, so be sure to write to me soon, be it on my email ([email protected]), website message board (www.offexploring.com/donaldwright) or maybe give me a text or a wee bell on my new mobile (it maybe expensive tho) 0061 (0)416405642
Hope everyone is well and enjoying life as much as me!!
Missing you all loads,
Donald
