Well hello everybody again!! So i am back in Sydney again, and it always feels like i am coming home which is scary!! Sitting in my old favourite internet place in Kings cross watching the weirdos go by doing the daily routine, i love this place!
Anyway so last time i wrote i was in melbourne. Melbourne was ok, i will update the photos for you at some point. Had a few good nights out there, worked in a few office jobs which were nothing special but needs must and all that. Git a bit miserable there, wanted to come home but all in all it was a good city and i think i should go back there one day and enjoy it properly and to the full cause it has a lot of potential. So anyway the reason we came back to Sydney was to pick up a campervan a freind had left us to go travelling in (they have gone home now) So me, anna, mark, john and Alister took a little road trip driving from Melbourne to Sydney (its about 900km so about 10 hours drive). We got very lost trying to leave melbourne which was ridiculous, i nearly had a crash as a stupid person pulled out on me on the highway (don't worry no damage everyone is fine!). We drove for ages taking it in turns and its was loads of fun to actually get to drive in asutralia on a proper little road trip. About 1am it was too dark and foggy to carry on so we pulled into a pinic area in teh middle of the woods and set up camp! This is one of the funniest nights of the trip and so surreal! This is one ofthe things i luv about travelling, these silly situations that you just deal with that would never happen at home!,
So anyway we camped for the night in 2 poorly constructed tents, in the pitch black woods, and then set off again the next day, well tried to set off but the car wouldn't start and we had to bump start it down a hill which could have gone very wrong!!! We drove all dy stopping off in little towns for drinks and food and to swap drivers. The drive was lovely and lots of fun.
So once in Sydney we did the usual and had a messy night and the next day went to pick up our campervan (me, anna and alister are going on the road trip). We had to take the campervan to drop mark at his van which had broken down ramdomly in Parramatta. After dropping mark at his we decided to go to the blue mountains and camp there for the night but the van had other ideas! Just as soon as we left mark we broke down on a main road and had to push the van uphill trying to avoid the cars into the nearest car park, turned out to be a pub, very handy!! We were stuck in the pub (oh shame) for 6 hours while trying to figure out what to do and waiting for someone to phone us as we had no credit!. Eventually mark came back for us in the origional broken down van which now worked to take us home, you just couldn't write this stuff honestly!! So our van is still broken, needs a new fuel filter apparently which shouldn't be too expensive but who knows whats going to happen next!!!! The adventure to Alice springs will happen just may be in a reliable hire car rather than our old campervan!! but it will happen it must!!.
Anyway not much else has happen (thank god as it all seems to be bad luck recently!). Staying back at my old faithful hostel, not paying rent, being cheeky and having a laugh. In answer to the question of when i am coming home i am still not sure as yet!. My visa runs out on the 20th June so anytime after that i will be illegal which is not really on option so guess i need to book some flights for before then. So when i have the flights done i shall let you all know i promise. And if that plan changes and i find a way to stay out here longer i shall let you all know that one as well. I just don't know now i only have 4 weeks left it doesn't sound longer enough and i am panicing but that could change!!.
So sydney for the moment and i shall hopefullly be able to write next time about my road trip to Alice springs!
Everyone take care and speak to you all soon, luv you all loads!
