Thursday 7th January.
I woke up at 4am and didn't get back to sleep thanks to Jet lag. We both got up at half 7 and went and grabbed some coco pops in the dining area and got ready to head out for the day. It was cloudy in the morning but cleared up later on. Kirsty wanted to find a hairdressers and we wanted to see central Sydney, so we set out with an old fashioned paper map to find our way. We walked around for two hours trying to find a hairdressers a friend had recommended, and when we finally found it, it was closed! We couldn't believe it, we both just laughed about it and agreed it was a good way to get to know our way around because we had been down most of the main streets by this point. We went and found a pub (true Brits that we are) called The Angel, and got a sandwich and a beer which was nice. We then set off to walk to the harbour. We found the harbour bridge and the opera house and walked around the harbour and an area next to it called 'The Rocks' which was our favourite area we had seen. It was really quaint and had a good vibe to it, and reminded me of an old English town. There were lots of people in and out of boutique shops along the streets. We climbed a lot of stairs and went up to the bridge and walked along it to see the views which were really good. We decided we had done more than enough walking around and headed back to the hostel. We made some pasta for dinner and then went to watch a group of people in the hostel playing beer pong, and there was free cheese and wine. We didn't stay long and then went to make phone calls home. We knew everyone was heading to Scubar afterwards for a 'full moon' themed party, so we made our way there for about 20:30. When we first arrived we were pretty much the only ones there but it soon filled up and we could hardly move. The group from the hostel came down and we got a free drinks voucher and some pizza. We met Jack from Redditch and DJ from America who were staying in our hostel too, and helped them get really drunk. My sister wandered off and I thought she had gone to call her boyfriend and came back with her face painted in UV paint! We all ended up on the dance floor and on the stage messing around with a big sign that seemed to be crowd surfing it's way through. After way too many drinks and great day and night I got to bed about 2am and slept straight through.
