Hello everyone!!! Well its been a very eventful time!!!! We arrived in Sydney on Sat 31st March, pretty impressive view coming into the city for the first time at night time!!!!!! Crashed out the first night here, first proper day here i went to meet Sally (a friend from home), i went over to Manly, a wicked place!!! Dave cruised around the city with a couple of our travelling buddies and looked around the harbour and bridge etc!!!! Obviously the next few days, standard procedure kicked in....we had to sample some of the local tipples and the places where they are served!!!! In between that we checked out Manly again, visited the harbour by night, met up with copius more amounts of peole we knew!!!! We also did the famous coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, check out the photos it was a beautiful walk!!!!
When we got to Sydney we decided 16 days here was too long, so we planned to head down to Melbourne, meet some people, see the city and see the surfing!! So we headed down there last Thursday in our 2nd Hyundai excel!!!!! The same beast as we had in Cairns!!!! It took us 13hours the first day to get there!!!So we slept in the car and drove for another 1 1/2 hours the next day!!!! We eventually arrived in Melbourne we stayed in a suburb called St Kilda................full of nothing but weirdos, junkies, drunks, gay couples and parking restrictions....big story to follow!!!!!! We spent the first couple of days meeting friends, going out, checking out the city...the MCG, Tennis Arena!!!!
Then the day came to head down to the surfing....unlike us we stayed in the night before in preparation, we go out to get into the car...its gone!!!! Oh dear......we establish it has been towed....oh dear!!! We eventually track it down....$275 paid to Big Bad Brett to free the car....great!!!! We get in the car.....it doesn't start...great.......$110 call out charge for flat battery...havent got a clue what we did to make it go flat???? Then we realise 10mins before the car got towed it got a $110 parking fine!!!!! To make matters worse we went wrong on the way home and missed paying a toll...another fine!!!!!!!! Oh yeah when we got to the surf comp...it had moved down the coast due to bad surf!!!!!! Despite that....which in reality is a funny story, adds to the memories, we did have a good time!!!!!
So back in Sydney now!!!! Climbed the brdge today which was an amazing experience, great fun, great weather, brill views!!!!!! Meeting uop with some friends to live up the last few days before we head to New Zealand on Monday!!! Going to do some more site seing here and head to the Blue Mountains, before ending another chapter of the trip to start a new adventure on Monday!!!!!
By the way we didn't do any of the Neighbours stuff in Melbourne, it was a rip off!!!!!!!!! Sorry Lucy!!!!!!!
