HI EVERYONE! Adam here again. Well once again ill admit that im proper crap at updating these blog things so ill apologise once more. :-) I will just say befpre i proceed that im currently writing this about 2 and a half months after entering australia so this is gonna be hard for me to remember everything that has actually happened so ill try mention the best bits and im sure we'l remember more later on.
So! On to our first state of Australia...
We flew into sydney really excited and ready to have a good time as we would be spending quite a long time in OZ and was glad to be settling down in once place for a while. We got to the infamous Woodduck Harbour city backpackers where we stayed for about a month. Our first week was all about earning some money so me and rick gladly flyered for a company called tribal travel around the amusing red light district of sydney that is kings cross. This earnt us some free accom so we couldnt complain. I managed to get a job working 3 days a week at a train station doing some barrier counting. Rick on the other hand didnt look for work as he knew vanessa was comming out to visit him for about 10 days so he and her stayed at another hostel in the city and had a brilliant 10 days catching up and seeing sydney city. I stayed at the woodduck as the entertainment manager and made friends with a lot of the long termers of the hostel and couldnt have asked for a better group of friends at this time. There was Arron from scarborough, matt from brighton, danny and garath from kent (LEDGENDS) and all the staff. We went out quite a bit more than you would class normal. usually about 6 days a week and frequently destryed our insides with excessive goon drinking and bbq's on the room as you will see from the photos, this was an absaloutly awesome 2 weeks for me and i loved every monute of it so i just wana thank those guys.
So the main thing we stuck around in Syd for is Alex, Ryan, Allister and Ben as they were flying in 3 weeks after we got there. So i was sat on the couch watching tv with some friends once evening and guess who popped there head round the door one by one lol only the core four! We all started screaming like little girls and had a hug went for a coffee and exchanged some crazy travelling stories.
Once vanessa had gone home and rick was back at the woodduck we all decided to head up to Byron Bay (the famous "backpackers paradise") which deffinatly lived up to its nickname. We loved byron as it was a tiny surfer town which amazing beaches and a chilled out attitude. A highlight of byron was our tour with Jim to Nimbin... the less said about this the better really.. Nimbin is a tiny random stoner village in the middle of nowhere inbound from byron next to a national park. This was quite possibley the weirdest and most crazy day of the trip so far. If you'd like to hear the stories please ask becuase its too long to even type on here lol
So we left byron (despite wanting to stay longer) to surfers paradise for our long awaited meeting with Nicky B!! Surfers was like a tiny Las Vegas with lots of bars, surfers and immaculate beaches. A few of us even tried surfing one day on nicks boards and lets just say the current was mental and nearly all of us got thrown off at some point, got plenty photos from there i think so have a gander. We also went for a BBQ at nicks house and it was great to finally eat some meat after being on a tiny budget for so long!! So in surfers we chilled on the beach most days and have bbqs in the evenings and basically just lived the chillin ozzy lifestyle. Our next destination was to brisbane in queensland to finally earn some money so we'l update you soon with how its going... or how its GONE by the time ill probably update this lol :)
lots of love Adam x x x
