So had to get up at like 4am for our flight to Sydney this morning, not happy!! Oh and yeh before I start on the morning I suppose I should tell u all what happened during the night. So i dont know if i've said before on here but each time I've stayed at Sarah's I've woken up on the first night in a cold sweat not knowing where I am! Its really weird as I've never had this happen before and has never even happened when i've been staying in different hostels so thought i'd tell Sarah about it and joked that it might happen again. Well it did happen again!! Plus this time me and Sarah were sleeping in the same bed this time so when it happened it was much to her amusement! I actually vagely remember doing it as well. In my dream I was going along somewhere and then suddenly turned to Sarah who was beside me in my dream and said "Where r we/am I?!" At which point Sarah started laughing because she thought I was doing it for a joke because of what I'd told her before! Never the less she realised I wasnt taking the piss when she saw the look of shock on my face when I woke up and was sitting up in bed! Lol i deffo think this must be one of the most random things i've done in a long time and I dont get y it only happens at hers as well! Never mind it gave us plently to giggle about during the day!
So we had to get up at 4am as I said and we were both a bit groggy as we'd not had much sleep. Anyway as I was leaving Sarahs room she asked me if i wanted my water bottle so I turned to reply, however as I turned back round to carry on walking, the door frame had somehow managed to move closer and I smacked my face into it!! Even tho me and Whytey both laughed at it, it was really quite sore and did remain bruised for a few days, luckily enough I did not get a black eye or burst my head open as am not too sure wot they would say about me getting on a plane like that lol! Anyway managed to get out the house otherwise unharmed and sat waiting for the bus. During our wait we saw a wee hedgehog running down the street which was quite cool! However in the terminal I did manage to squash my fingers and scrape the skin off my knee while manhandelling my rucksack! Anyway other than that I manged to get on the plane safely! We both snoozed most of the way and arrived safely in Oz.
It did take us about 2 hours to get from the airport to Beckys flat but it was nice to get there eventually even though Becky was having to go to work. So me and Sarah went and had a coffee and a croisant in a wee cafe on Oxford Street to start our day properly. We then made our way to the center so we could get one of the sight seeing buses. On the way we stopped at the Hyde Park War Memorial. This hadn't been open when I was last in Sydney so it was new to me to. Inside they have all these gold plated/coloured stars in the roof to represent all the Australians who died in World War I and II. They also have this thing where you can write the name of one of the soldiers and a message on a gold cardboard star and drop it into the middle. These stars are then all collected and will be burnt at Anzac day if memory serves me right. We thought this was a lovely thing to do and a really great way to ensure these people are never forgotten! Oh and i also found out the Anzac means the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
We eventually made it to George Street where me and Whytey got on one of the Red Sight Seeing Buses, you all know the type, they have them in nearly every city! Was a really good way of showing Whytey all the sights around Sydney in a short space of time and we could even get off and take photos and then get back on a later bus. The only new thing I learnt was that the Sydney Tower is earthquake proof!
That night we tired to meet up with Sarahs pal Amy who has also just arrived in Sydney, but we never quite managed it due to messages not going through correctly! Anwya so me and Sarah ended up going for a free dinner at the Gaff (buy a drink and get a free meal). When we went back to the flat we were pretty tired as we'd been up since 2am Oz time, however everyone in Beckys flat was still up so we couldnt get to our beds on the sofa. As a result we ended up topping and tailing in Becky bed and she did the same with Ashley. Was so nice of her and we both slept like logs!
