Tom's Oz Travels

For the first time, i’ve actually been too busy to write on this blog; since my past post we’ve gone to the wildlife centre, been up the sydney tower, driven to the blue mountains and newcastle, played taxi to the airport, did a days manual labour work, been out for nights out and still had time to drink the lovely goon.

You can see pictures of some of the things i’ve been doing here at here

The problem with staying in a hostel is, it’s always someones last night who’s been here for a while, so you go out so often, or at least drink loads on the roof.

My German is getting amazing, with phrases like your mum and son of a bitch, how can you go wrong?

I’m off to an agency on Monday who rang me up, they deal with office type jobs I think, all temp work so lets hope that goes well as we are spending a lottttt!

It was fun driving again, even if it was a 1.5 corolla automatic which could never decide what gear it wanted to be in, especially when going up a hill!

Oh oh oh oh, we finally made it to a beach, last Saturday we went to Bondi, weather wasnt amazing, but it was a good laugh. I’m sure we’ll go back there, even though there was a crazy lady dancing and shouting for quite a while.

Anyways, will write a less boring, more detailed post soon – Promise!

Immature I know, even though i’ve been told by quite a few people before coming that the wine is called Goon and the cheese is called Coon, it does make you laugh reading on your receipt “No tasty coon cheese”.

Things are going well here, we’ve moved in to a new hostel which we’ve booked until next Sunday. It’s a lot nicer than the last one, has a roof terrace which seems to be open all night, the rooms are a lot nicer and the people staying don’t remind you of the league of gentleman.

This is the view from our roof terrace:

Jet lag finally hit us on Thursday with vengeance, we fell asleep at 6:30 or so and I woke up about 4am. Thank god for the internet and some English people online for me to bug or I think i’d of gone mad.

Last night was a nice night, we chilled on the roof terrace drinking beer and chatting to people. Although rich slinked off to bed at about 10:30 moaning about jet lag again.

Currently we’re sat in Hyde Park in Sydney centre after eating some nice baguettes.

Everything here is well expensive, like proper expensive we’re blasting through cash at an alarming rate so we’ve really started to cut down. We cooked some nice pasta in the hostel kitchen last night, wasnt actually bad!

In the current hostel we’re in separate rooms at the moment, Rich ended up with a room with a german guy and a scouser, both seem pretty cool. And I got a room with 3 south koreans that don’t speak english and all they seem to do is sleep. Yay. :-/

We’re going to do all the touristy things next week after the weekend is over, untill then probably mooch around having a look at things we can’t afford.
