Sydney thus far

(Thank you to someone called 'the gf' for telling me to update my blog lol :P)

Arrived in Sydney on Monday, with no flight issues except that the 6 of us weren't sitting together. I hate people who insist on pushing back their seat...it's the first thing they do. Seriously, there was no need. And it's even more of a pain in the arse when you're trying to eat.

The meal after the stop over in Bangkok was great...it was Thai!

Monday was pretty much a chill out day. Had a walk around the area...really beautiful city, especially Darling Harbour. Hostel (Wake up!) is very good (reflected in the price of course).

Tuesday turned out to be quite busy - buffet lunch in Sydney Centrepoint Tower was very good...the restaurant rotates once every 70mins and the view was fantastic! This was followed by a meet up for drinks at 6. We went to a club for a couple more free drinks. The music was so cheesy. I mean S Club 7 cheesy! Shocking. Tara won the dance competition pretending to be brazilian :S there was a complete nob from luxembourg who decided to undo his jeans, show off his boxers, realise everyone was disgusted and do them up again. Music wasn't too bad after all...james, g and myself spent a fair while on the stage showing off our moves :P Wet t-shirt competition before we left was...interesting (read: slutty) at first. We left soon after.

Today: reptile park for pictures with koalas and kangaroos!! Also got pics of plenty more animals and a GIGANTIC python. Afterwards we went to 3 wine tasting places. I hate wine. It was just too much wine and I really can't drink anymore alcohol today.

We were coming back to the hostel through the mountains for a scenic route. However...towards the top there was a HUGE boulder in the middle of the road. I mean HUUUGE...a whole tree had been torn down with it. So we had to back track and go back a different way..resulting in a 2.5hr journey to the hostel. Chilling out for the rest of the night. Tomorrow it's the beach BBQ, and the first chance to get wet!!
