Oh for gods sake ive just spent about half an hour writing this blog for the computer to loose it all so here it goes again (dont you just hate it when this happens?) spent the first week in bondi and it rained so rubbish and our hostal was also awfull it was like a 15 year old girls bedroom, the floor was covered in crap and was full of 18 year old bockers!
