It been a while since i updated so sorry about that! been a pretty mental time but been very good. Stasyed in wake up hostel in sydney which you had to use a key card juist to go to the loo!!!!! was good though! first couple of dyas i did the whole sightseeing things aroud the botnical gardens and circular quay and darling harbour ect... sat and watched all the runners in the boling heat running through the park! they are crazy!! up and down stairs all day! made me feel so lazy!!!!! Met gerry on the friday afternoon and we got sloshed!!! Graced my presence wiht many sydney bars. We went to cogee bay that night and i ended up going night swimming and got stung by a jellyfish!!! was pretty painful but i was a little too drunk to notice!!! was careful wiht the swiming for those of you that worried i really just paddles up to my knees (fully clothed) then ate the biggest kabab!!!! oyher folk were doing full monty swimming! rather them than me when the water is full of jelly fish!! we suffered the wort hagovers in history the next day!!! i had the shakes (only myself to blame) my bed was covered in sand from my shoes and jeans and i was still fully clothed!! was worth it though!! So saturday was a bit of a wasted day!! went that night to the gay and lesbain mardi gras!!!! that was really the collest parade i have ever seen!!1 i ahve videos of the parades too!!!! camera was playing up a bit!! the costumes were fantastic!! just a shame they were all gay!! sunday i spent the day on bondi beach (no burning) watched the surfers!!! going to try it in a beach called 1770 cause its meant to be mighty cheap there!! went out sunday night and got sloshed again! have gone off beer a bit now!! stomach hasnt really adapted to it fully yet! went into a pub called scruufy murphys and the whole place smelt of sick!! had to leave very sharpe!!!!!!! i had to check out my hostel at 10am on monday and my bus wasnt till 10pm!!!! just soent the day sunning it in the park and watching the runners oh and looking at the bats!!! the gardens there are full of flying foxes!! huge massive bats that would put the ones i have at home to shame!!!! i mean they just hang there and sqeal by day!!! also saw a huge spider web but no spider to go with it thank god! but i am sure my time will come!!!! in pubs at my hostel saw a couple of live bands too which was good and have become addicted to slices of pizza (preferably pepperoni) slathered in halapino chillies!!! its amazing!! words cannot describe how i feel when i munch on this amazing combination!! gopt the night bus to byron bay but that was ok. i slept well and bus driver let us stay on bus when it stopped! i did get out at one stop and i ahve never seena sky like it!! it compared to the one i saw on the star gazing weekend with my mum!! it was amazing!!! the milky way os so clear here!! cant wait till i am further away from civilisation to see the sky!!!!!Fantastic!!!!!
