Day 102 and while the others got up at 9 and headed for the beach, me and Burns slept in till about 11. They left a note telling us to meet them, so when we were up and walked to the beach and couldn't find them we assumed they had gone for lunch. Therefore we went for breakfast as there were plenty of shops about and even a sunday market. To get there we had to cross the river flowing onto the beach which people were swimming in. This was to prove very trick...

Day 97 started with the other 4 getting up at 8am and getting ready for a Wine Tour in the Hunter Valley. I wasn't to keen with this so decided to take a day off to myself and chill out. They were gone by 9am and I made the most of the quiet by having a longer sleep than normal. Once I had dragged myself out of bed, and showered, I went for a walk round the town. I soon realised there was little or nothing to do here. It really did seem like a ghost town, an...

Day 92 and the start of 2009. After the hectic goings-on of yesterday, we all slept well and didn't get up till about 11-12.

Day 88 started with Helen waking me up saying it was 11am and that we needed to get up to make the most of our day. She lied. It was like 930 and she couldn't sleep. Anyway, once up and showered, we all decided to split up into groups for the day. Me and Helen would head off together, as would Luke and Burns (who ended up meeting their mate Eli), and Coops and Ben went shopping. Me and Helen walked round the shops as I needed some new shorts and Helen as alw...

Day 83 and we were ready to leave Kerrie and Peters place and head into the the centre of Sydney and stay in Maze Backpackers on Pitt Street. We would be spending about 12 nights there into the new year. After a brief stint at packing we had breakfast and then got a lift from David and his mate to the train station. At Hurstville we got a train to central and then walked to Maze. It is called Maze for a reason, there are loads of corridoors and it is very eas...
