29th: got in at 2:30am and had to be up at 4:30am to catch the airport bus. I was still drunk and I could feel the hangover kicking in. why did I get so wasted last night. Glad I forgot the condom cos I wud have been up all night and wud have surely missed my flight. Still surprised how I managed to catch it anyway. Felt rough and fell asleep before the plane even took off. Almost threw up when I got my bag. Sat in the airport in a world of pain. There was no point going to hostel as I couldnt check in till 10:30. so I just sat there trying to sleep without any luck. Had a mc d's lunchtime and took like an hour to eat it. Then walked the hangover off by going down to darling harbour. In the evening grabbed some shopping and chilled out. In the night went out with my room to side bar and got pretty drunk. Played ring of fire on goon first so thats why.
30th: today it was a pretty nice sunny day. So thought i'd walk the city. I visited the rememberance building and then walked through hide park. Then into the botanical gardens to take a couple of photos of the fruit bats that live there. After that I walked along the waterfront and around to the opera house. Then past circular quay, throught the rocks (which had a arts and craft market on) and up onto the harbour bridge. I then walked across the bridge and on the way back stopped in the tower. I managed to get to the viewing platform for free. The guy on the ticket desk was welsh and so let me up for free. Had a good look at the bridge and the bridge climbers and it actually put me off doing the bridge climb. They are all securly safety harnessed to the railing and the girder they climb up is around 10ft wide. So being the extreme machine I am, I would have found it quite boring and not at all scared. After the bridge I walked back through the cbd to the hostel and had a quick nap. In the evening I met phil and sean (the two guys I met on the whitsundays and then again up in cairns) had an awesome night with them, just laughed the whole night. We ended up in a club called the orient down in the rocks.
sun 31st: woke up late with bad toothache. Did some laundry and didnt get out of the hostel till 2. so went over to paddys market and spent and hr or so there. Then a quick walk through chinatown. Investigated my tooth and can see that the top of it is black!! looks like ive missed cleaning it for a few days which is not at all like me. In the evening met up with jason, guy I used to work with in atkins who got made redundant the same time as me. It was a surreal night.
mon 1st november: went over to manly today. Weather wasnt great but apparently it was getting worse so best opportunity. Caught the ferry over. Manly is very pretty and the waves on manly beach look pretty good. Walked along the beach, then up around the northwood point and back down to the harbour. Checked out the highstreet and then caught the ferry back. The ferry ride back was pretty rough. It then started hammering down and didnt stop for the rest of the night. Went up to alexs room and met some of his friends and then we went down to side bar for a few drinks. Was going to be a small quiert night but didnt get in again till 2:30.
tues 2nd: caught the bus to bondi. Got off at bondi junction and had a look there (main shopping centre for bondi) and then walked to the beach. Weather wasnt great and there were only a few surfers. So walked up and down the beach /promenade. Had a look at a couple of shops and then it started to rain. So went back to cbd. In the evening just packed and sorted stuff out and then went out with nanna and nelli and teddai from my room. They were all pretty wasted as they had gone to the pub and spent the afternoon there watching the melbourne cup. Wasnt too late in bed but they continuously woke me up thru the night.
