Come with me on a journey through time and space
hi folks
Well i haven't been too bothered about keeping the site up to date so i will summarise the last few days for you all now.
I am in much better digs now, got my own room in a 4 star hotel, must be about 5 times the size of the 4 bed dorm i was in at the hostel. Tv fridge aircon and my own bathroom and clean. not so many people about though.
i just witnessed a minor traffic accident, a couple of moped with advertising hordings on trailers collided, no one was hurt butthe bikes were a bit of a wreck, we didnt help things when putting the trailer back on its wheels, ripping the signs off. i dont think they will be getting a xmas bonus this year.
i enjoyed??? a rather unusual meal the other day, baby octopus. i was expecting a plate of unrecognisable sliced or shreaded seafood covered in breadcrumbs or batter with some kind of sauce. what i actually recieved was just like the menu said, a plate with 7 boiled baby octupus garnished on a lettuce leaf with their tentacles all curled and pointing towards me all screaming "don't eat me" not because they didn't want to be eaten but because they looked hideous. they actually tasted ok, pretty bland but they were very chewy, im sure i could feel the tentacles grabbing hold of my tongue on the way down.
well what else have i been up to?
a few drunken nights out of course
betting on crab racing
beaches
watching late night cricket
a few nice meals on the harbourside
just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine although its not too hot at the mo.
im just off to catch a boat to manly beach now, see what thats all about, and tommorow its the biggy by the harbour for the fireworks.
anyway i doubt i will get a chance to update the site for a while as my suntanner tour with connections starts on new years day.
take care have a great new year
