First, a quick account of yesterday, as action packed as it was. I went to Paddy's Market and realised why Lonely Planet had slated it so much. It's rubbish. Really awful so I ran away like a clued up small child from neverland. For lunch I did something a bit naughty. I bought some noodles and cooked them at Base. No one btted an eyelid. I have pumped enough cash into their operation so I take it as my god given right. For the rest of the day I just lounged on t...

Yesterday was a bit of a downer. Without turning into a moderen day Holden Caulfield, I'll try and give a balanced account of the day. Emma left this morning, getting up at half 5. I was awake and couldn't sleep so i got up aswell. I got a bad first impression of her when we met on the bus but spending time with her allowed her to grow on me. Sad to see her go as it also meant that i was pretty much by myself now. I watched Barca walk all over Celtic and then ...

It's not that I don't like Sydney, I'm just getting abit tired of it and want to get out now. Its expensive. Richard says surf camp is wicked.

However, it does mean that I can get on a trip to the Blue Mountains which I have already paid for. Dunno what I'll do for the next few days cos I'm not enamoured by ...

It has occurred to me that I have perhaps been a bit rubbish at the whole blogging thing. I haven't exactly taken to it like a duck to water. I couldn't sleep cos the philipino bloke in our room is snoring like a proper james blunt so I thought I'd come down and attempt to give some sort of account of what I've been doing with myself since i got to Sydney. I don't really know what i expected when I got here. Seeing the sights countless times on TV makes it a bi...

Why spend lots of money on skin peels when you can go out in the sun without cream on and get hideously burnt? That's what Rich and I did. I have never ever been burnt so this was quite an experience. I'm still flaking as I type, a week after having gone down to St Kilda for the first time. It was a good 2 and a half hour walk from Bec's place. We went via the QV market and this awesome war memorial on the edge of the CBD where we got some really nice pictures. W...
