Monday 5th March:
Had a bit of a random day today because there was a really bad storm last night (yes we have had rain you'll be pleased to hear) and so the weather wasn't good enough for the beach which is what we originally had planned. We therefore got a bus into the city and had a wander round the shops, saw Sydney bridge and Opera house which was beautiful.
On the way home stopped off at the local liquor store and bought 2 bottles of wine for about $10 (4 pounds) to have before we went out. Bearing in mind we'd had a cup-a-soup for dinner it probably wasn't the most sensible thing to do, but hey we're on holiday! drunk some wine as we were getting ready and got the free bus to this backpackers club called 'Scubar'. Because we were the only people on the bus we got 5 free drink vouchers each, so were looking forward to a good night. The club was packed with backpackers, really good atmosphere. Used the drinks vouchers and got some bought for us too so as you can imagine we were having a lot of fun!
One of the highlights of the night was the hermit crab race on a stage at the front (Harriet you would be proud!) our crab which we called 'Mumbo' in a rather confusing conversation with one of the managers came second in the race!! We won a t-shirt and a hat, as you can imagine we put these on straight away and were up on the stage dancing. Em had to introduce the next race while Soph was snapping away at the bottom of the stage telling everyone it was her friend. Em had to open the lid of the crab bowl, although she was quite scared they would jump up and attack her. Fortunately this didn't happen.
We stumbled out of the club and were going to go on as the guy at reception had given us a detailed plan of a pub crawl that would take us to 4 in the morning, but...as we had only had a cup-a-soup we were pretty hungry to say the least. While marching around looking for food, Soph was distraught when she realised she didn't have her free cap! even though Em told her not to worry she was quite upset. Ten minutes later............'O look i've got the cap' It had been in her hand the whole time. SO funny, Em was cracking up. Eventually we found Dominoes pizza, luckily Em was somehow on form as the guy tried to short change her but she came back with 'I may be drunk mate but i gave you a $20 note!' he chuckled to himself gave her the right change. Soph took the pizza, whilst singing his name as she found it very funny for some bizzare reason. I think they were pleased when we left!
