Today I was checking out of my Sydney hostel ready to go to Melbourne at night! I was in mixed emotions about leaving, I was ready to leave Sydney as i felt I had seen everything but was sad about leaving the hostel and the friends I had made there. This is probably because in all my previous hostels I had stayed for 3 days at most whereas I stayed here for about 2 weeks in total!
The sun was finally shining so I decided to head to Manly beach for the day. I got out to Circular Quay to catch the ferry over there and noticed there was no departure times up. I then asked the cashier and he explained that there would be no ferries leaving today as Manly had no electricity! Of all the days that I choose to go and I choose the wrong day! So I decided to chill out at Circular Quay and enjoy some fish n chips! Yummy! I pottered around there for a while then made my way back to the hostel.
When I got back I was told by my roommate that he would be making me dinner before I left. I was quite excited about this and expected a sri lankan curry or something similar. Turns out it was a 'recipe' he found in Coles magazine.....Jacket potatoes with sour cream....he had never cooked it before and was pretty proud of himself. I have to say it was better than I thought it would be and filled me up!
Finally it was time for me to leave at 6pm and I said my goodbyes and headed for the bus station. I got on the bus at 7pm for my 12 hour bus journey. People started going to sleep about 9pm and I was the only one awake for a long time, unfortunately I had a snoring girl in front of me and there were crying babies on the bus. We had a couple of stopovers and I managed about 2 hours sleep in total!
