The Adventures Of Fletch
25th Dec - 5th Jan
Christmas day was the best day ever. Got up in the morning and had a beer with breakfast about 10ish. A mate Nathan and I left to head for Bondi about midday to meet Swindon Steve, Matt and Chelle for Gatecrasher, an all day rave in the pavillion on bondi beach. It started at 10am and finished at 10pm. We got in about 1 and it was all open air so we could rave away in the sunshine. I had a large santas hat on, shorts and a larey shirt, and drank myself to death throughout the whole day. So much so I forgot to eat anything so I had no food whatsoever. It was pretty random doing that on christmas day but it was different which is what it's all about. We all had a great time and I doubt any other christmas's will top that one. Class action shots of me pissed to follow. As you can imagine boxing day was a bit of a non event as everyone was hanging so generally spent most of the day recovering.
The hostel organised a football tournament on the 30th which we all entered. it was a 6-a-side affair with 5 teams involved. I started off up front, but after about 5 mins, I realised that 3 months of doing b***** all except drink was not good, and that running around was practically impossible. I decided that after years of watching Mr Southgate doing nothing at the back that that was the place for me, so spent the rest of the tournament as sweeper, mopping up at the back. As a result my team one the thing and we got a $100 bar tab to polish off in the hostel bar.I got quite pissed again!!.
New Years eve. We had all decided to go to Mrs Maquaries chair in the Botanical gardens to to watch the fireworks and everyone from our hostel was going there as well. We had to start queueing early as the world and his wife had to get in. Steve, Amy and I got there at 11am and the queue was already massive.Chelle, Matt,Adam and Bobs joined us in the queue which by the time we got to the front 2 hours later, had double backed on itself and people were still joining!!. I thought about giving Roy Castle a call as this had to be the longest queue in the world. A new record!!. Anyway once in, the day was spent sitting in the park drinking beer. I also wandered about and met up with people I'd met down the coast and fiji, so it was all good. The first set of fireworks went off at 9pm and they were pretty impressive, but the one's that went off at 12 were unbelievable. The whole city went green, The buildings had fireworks going off them, fireworks all the way through the harbour, and then the bridge went up. Unreal, you can stick your new years back home,nothing is going to beat that, ever. Got some great footage on the camera so you can all check it out.
Anyway I'm pretty much up to date now. I'm going to send my pics home to my old man and get him upload them on the site for me as it takes bloody ages over here 'cause their internet is so slow and crap.
Happy new year all
Fletch
