Today I got up around 9ish, had breakfast and then checked out of the hostel as I was heading to Bondi for the weekend! After the trekking of the Blue Mountains, I definately thought I deserved a couple of days at the beach!

The train took about 10 minutes to get to Bondi Junction then I caught a bus to the beach. The hostel was literally a 2 minute walk to the beach which was very handy!On check in I was told I had been upgraded from a 12 bed mixed dorm to a 8 bed female dorm. Personally I have found it far easier when travelling to stay in mixed dorms, I find guys easier to talk to and girls tend to fight over the mirror and spend a lot of time sizing each other up whether their travels are better than yours. But still, a beds a bed and when I got to the room there was only 3 other girls in there.

I spent the afternoon on the beach trying to tan inbetween the chilly winds, but it was a beautiful beach with gorgeous views (and I don't just mean the surfers!). I headed back to the hostel and sat in the outside area. It seemed that everyone had their own groups and I found it difficult to speak to people, so headed back to my room for a lie down.

My roommate, an ozzie girl came in soon after and ordered me downstairs to socialise and she soon got us seats wedged inbetween a bunch of very drunk irish guys from Donegal. I soon got into the swing of things and we swapped stories of our travelling, theirs were prob more gruesome, one guy had broke his back pissed up. Most of the other girls went to bed around midnight but I ended up staying up drinking till 7am! very bad idea!
