After leaving Melbourne a few days ago.... it seemed to be the same as always.... the next stops even better than the last.... hmmm wasn't to be the case to start off with!!
Whilst waiting for our plane to start boarding, a gentleman advised us we will be slightly late taking off due to some minor technical faults with the aircraft... thats not so bad... a minor technichal fault is a light bulb or something right.....?? Ten minutes later he comes and tells us he thinks we should know that the plane has actually been struck by lightening on the way into land and the engineers are now deciding whether or not its allowed to leave the airport or not....!! Great... a plane thats just nearly just been struck out of the sky by lightening is now maybe going to be taking me to Sydney....!! I'm not sure i like the the idea of that....!
Anyway after an hour or so, the planes all ok, we board and leave for Syders....!
We arrived in Sydney about 7pm and was dropped off at our hostel in Kings Cross, Boomerang Backpackers..... what a nightmare this was going to turn out to be....! We get to reception pay the balance for the 17 nights we are due to stay there... the women presents us with 1 sheet, 1 quilt and a pillow each between 3 of us.... apparantly they've run out of bed linen...!! Ok so we're off to a pretty bad start already....! As we enter the stairway to the place, its like an NCP car park in London.... painted metal and concrete and stinks of you know what.... this wasn't going to be a pleasant stay... and things just continued to get even worse... the beds were rank, stains all over the things, room stunk as if some one had mucked the bed.... i wasn't too impressed at all....! We moved out the next morning and are still trying to get our money back...! Manager wouldnt even talk to me, nice place hey....!!
We then made our way out towards Bondi to see if we could get somewhere to stay out here.... and was told as per usual that every where is fully booked until at least the 16th of january.... oh s**t...! Ended up trying our luck at the hostel that me and the boys booked up for christmas/new year.... and with a bit of luck.... we only managed to get booked in here right the way through to whenever we wish....! what a touch....!
So the night before last we went and done the local Comedy Pub Quiz.... with about 30 other people from the hostel.... that was all a bit of good fun....!! Last night we went to a night club on Coogee Beach... that was great fun too....!
This morning we embarked on a 5km kayak trip out and around Sydney harbour....! what a way to see the Bridge and the Opera House... was wicked...! Got some cool photos too coming....!!
Other than that.... its been Bondi Bondi Bondi.... and what a place it is....! The body boarding.... attempts at surfing.... sun... sand.... waves and chicks.... this has to be the hottest place on the map....! Good job i'm here for a month hey....!!
Peace out to everyone...
Much Love...!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
