welcome back, nice to see you all again. we are now situated in Brisbane, accomodation Tinbilly's. Lets revert back for a moment to the final days in sydney. Returning from Katoomba, once again, to the hostel Wake Up to endure another few days of entertainment and laughter. Celebrations of another birthday came about for one, Henrik Hjort. Some ridiculous presents and over consumption of goon (4 litres of boxed wine, cheap as chips). Sydney had a great night life scene, the pick of the bunch being kings cross, a twenty minute walk from Wake Up. The evening was a success for all, especially for Billy sargeant who finished the night sharing a cheeseburger with a young lady friend, and got more than he bargained for, she certainly had a mouthful. The following morning we were due to depart from Sydney at 6:45, 2 hours and 45 minutes after the latet members of the group returned to the hostel. 1 or 2 of the lads, namely ben and jack, were too busy entertaining some lady friends and missed their alarms. luckily another fellow traveller had his head screwed on and bailed the pair out with a vital phone call, saving their arses 50 bucks and a whole day of banter.
leaving Sydney there were 15 members of the Guildford, for want of a better word, posse. the 6 hours that followed involved many haggered faces, a swede in pyjamas, and inevitably Bill asleep. Surf camp arose through the sunrise and later the goon was once again in full flow. fire, wine, drinking games and chats ensued during which Nick fell in love with our bus driver Muppet. Bill remained asleep. next morning we all grabbed the surf boards and hit the waves. however one Ben was unable to participate due to an injury that occured in front of the sydney opera house. Ben was innocently jogging minding his own business when Richard Jordan pounced and caused a crippling foot injury. Just one of the many unprovoked attacks comitted by the vicious beast.
Another 6 hours of travelling came to an end at Byron Bay. A small town, with character and style and a few shops that may have cost Jack's mum an arm and a leg. The beach was stunning, the view incredible and the apartments a pleasent relief from sharing dorms. Sun chasing during the day, Cheeky Monkeys club at night and a late night cheeky phone call to the teachers of George Abbot school. enjoyed catching up with them and the feelings were mutual. we enjoyed a day out at the marijuana capital of Australia, Nimbin. put it this way the cookies were excellent and tasted like none we have sampled before.
Surfers paradise was next on the agenda. High rise, blue sky's and surfboards galore. on arrival we immediately signed ourselves up for the wednesday bar crawl and Ben and Shef began the ever lengthy process of making themselves look respectable. better (bitter). to some up the evening. got drunk, met girls, Nick banged his head, lucy went to hospital and Bill walked another well chested lady back to her hostel, saw the front door and left. the next day involved a couple of films and a quiz. the quizzes have been an integral part of the last week or so and have consisted of individuals nominating to write each one. the day after we grabbed our boards and hit the surf again.
the following morning we packed our bags and once again moved to our next location. After a short 30 minute trip we stopped for a little dab at zorbing. Bill, James and Nick were the participants. And then we arrived here in Brisbane. It has been a couple of days for playing football, and enjoying the evenings out. can i just mention. we were victors in the local bar's quiz. the prize being a 50 dollar bar tab and 2 days free car hire. Jack was respnosible for winning the tie with an incredible 3 second fishing of a pint. and that completes this entry.
