So, Katie missed out Sunday, so ill do that first!
Sunday was basically just another day for doing whatever we wanted, so once again we spent most of the day on the free internet!! We also had a nice dinner planned, so we all got dressed up and went for our meal up the syndey tower! as if this wasnt good enough.. we found out it was ALL YOU CAN EAT!! including all you can eat puddings (which made me VERYYY happy!!) Food was amazing, and we even tried some local food such as Kangaroo! tasted a bit like dry beef! i recommend it!! Pudding was the best bit, with fruit, choc cake, choc profitterolls , choc brownies, and little custard and chocolate tarts which were amazing..
so, after filling up on all this yummy food to try to last us for a while, we set off back home. Vistited the view pount of sydney harbour bridge one last time, to have another group photo (where the first one was) and then watched hannah spinning some glow balls! cooler than it sounds, trust me!
Next day was yet again just another day to mooch about.. we had to get out of our rooms by 10am to let the new ozintro people in (sad times) and then checked into another room, with 2 lads in it.. one english who did nothign else apart from listening to his ipod all day, and a german, who was nott impressed when we woke him up at 5am to ask him to open the door for us!!
So Tuesday was the start of our proper adventure! We got to the oz experience office by 6, and unfortunately the bus had broken down-great start, so after an hours wait, we were eventually on our way! Bus driver was called Hayley, and she was pretty cool! We also met all the other people on our tour bus.. 2 girls from ediburgh(sophie and felicity-very exciting!) 2 canadian girls (jossaline and lauraine) a couple (ben and gussi) an me katie and hannah (from the ozintro week!) We stopped at 2 little towns along the way for food, and then she took us past..... THE BIG BANANA! thefirst of may big things we will see along the east coast! After what seemed like an eternity on the bus, we arrived at our stopfor the night- SURF CAMP! This we were both not really looking forward too, but actually turned out to be aweeesome! Had tea cooked for us, and we had little bunk things to stay in.. no locks though, and were full of moths! there wasnt even a door between the toilet and room, which was interesting! But, after buying some $6 wine and playing some drinking games we soon forgot. Were both pretty drunk by about half 10.. (they start so early here!) and so stumbled into bed about half 12!
Nice day being woken up at 6am by some girl who worked there.. niiice, cna then were sent down for our surf lesson number 2!! However, Katie (the let down!!) bailed, and went back to bed! POOR FORM! I however, continued on and actually had a pretty good lesson.. the wet suits wernt fun again, but the guy was pretty hot, so it made it all better! haha. I actualluy managed to stand up this time, which i was pretty impressed about!! some photographer was there taking pictures of us, and there were somme lovvvely ones taken of me doing my thing! ha
So, after this we headed off on the road again, on toward Byron Bay. We stopped at one more town and bought some supplies for tea- 5 noodles for $1.09 BARGAIN!!! We again maanged to fit in another big thing... A GIANT PRAWN! this, was a close rival for the banana, but i prefer big bananas myself!! We arrived at our Hostel at aboiut half 2, it was called Hoiday Village. After checking in, and having a bit of a nap, we were off to Cheeky Monkeys.. tbh, a bit of a let down! hayley told us we woud have free food and free jugs of beer, but these never arrived! Gussi and Ben (a couple we met on the bus) wee with us, and they went off in search of our free things, but the staff wernt very keen to give it us! we eventually mananged to track down the dj (a pimp for the night) and he gave us some free dink cards! woo. we also decided to get our nails painted and our hair backcombed (luce would have been proud of how big it was!) in order to get another free drink... pretty good deal tbh! haha. anyway, we only stayed there for a while, and headed home by half 10.
The next morning we followed Gussi and Ben to another Hostel, a muuuuch nicer one! rays, and stocked up on more food- sausages.. (which were so so so good!!) we met soem ore people in our room, 2 girls- sophie and stephanie! and some irish lads, who had such a strong acent it ws impossible to underastand them! They all went out to cheeky monkeys.. but we were once again pretty shattered (from doing not much!! haha) and headed to bed.. we promised them we would go tomorrow tho, so all is good!!!
So, this is today.. 15th May.. Happy Birthday Jonny! wooo. we have planend to meet our canadian friends today and Hannah and walk up to the lighthouse here... about a 40 minute walk, and should be some nice views there. apparently its the mst easternly point o the east coast! which is pretty cool. so yeahl thats what were doing today.. and then eating more sausages for tea, and hopefulyl going out (if we dont fal asleep at half 10 again!!)
hope your enjoying revising everyone! haha, loves, xxxxxxxxxxx
