Thrusday Night at Surf Camp
This was taken after a couple of drinking games. G'day!!
Well, im still here in Manly, worked my last shift at work yesterday, and was FORCED to go out with my work mates, and it was a pretty messy night. Its now 4 in the afternoon and im still feeling the pain. To make matters worse, somebody spilt cheap wine on my bag, and im walking about and I keep getting wiffs of it, and its making me feel a whole lot worse. I think im going to have to put it into the washing machine. Goodness knows what the people sat either side f me in the internet cafe think! Probably that im a complete alcholoic, oh well, nevermind.
So I guess you all want to know what I have been up too. Well, Corinne, Georgie, Laurie and myself all went up to a place called Seal Rocks on a surf camp. We had a really good time and all of us managed to stand up, even if it was a brief moment of glory before nearly drowning!! ha ha. The trip picked us up from Sydney city and drove us about 3 hours up the coast, then we had to nights and noe and a half
days at the surf camp before we where driven back again. When we arrived, there was a huge huntsman right by Georgies bed, and we had to go and get a surf instructor to get rid of it. APPARENTLY we shouldnt be scared of them as the bites are not THAT poisonus, they just make you feel a bit woosy for a while. Still, I dont fancy one of them taking a chunk out of my finger, they are massive. At the moment I have a big swollen hand, its really sore and all the Aussies at work are telling me its a spider bite, but I cant see any marks and I think I would have felt it, so I have no idea what it is, but its really sore!! Looks like an egg on the back of my hand. Oh, also, at surf camp I work up with a very odd rash on my legs, I was wearing jeans the day before, so i dont think its sunburn, and it was on both legs in the same place, very very odd!!! It went after a few days, but it was slightly concerning. I feel like im falling apart!!
😞
Surfing is great fun, but it is sooooooo knackering! I never knew that I had that many muscles in my body that could all ache at the same time! No wonder all the surfers have such amazing bodies, its like spending about 8 hours in the gym every time you go out. Trying to get a 7 foot surf board through breaking waves is so hard!! On the second day we where all so tired we spent about 30 minutes in the sea and then gave up and went sunbathing instead. Nothing to do with the after surf activities that occured on thursday night at all. ha ha.
Well, moving on. Georgie and Laurie have flown back to England, and Corinne has gone off to Byron on her own, so im still here all by myself. Im about to book my Oz Bus ticket right after I finish this blog, hopefully leaving either wednesday or thursday if there is room in the bus. So the next time I update this I should be finally out of Sydney! I like it here but its been over 8 weeks now, and im ready to see somthing else.
I
Trees!
The view from our cabin, we where well and truely in the sticks, no mobile signal, no telephones, no internet!!! waved Corinne off on Friday, and then jumped on a bus up to palm beach to meet my friend Chrissy from work and two of her friends. They where already there, and after the hour and a bit journey I located them on the beach and we stayed untill about midnight getting very drunk in the golf club bar! Palm Beach is better know as summer bay, and it was a bit odd being there. They only film on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I didnt see any of the cast, but I saw 'THE Fence' and took some photos for you all. It was smaller than I though, very windy and the sand is very red. Appently the walk up to the light house is really good, but as I didnt get there untill gone 3.30pm I couldnt be bothered to trek all that way.
So thats about it really, apart from all that excitement all I have been doing is working. I hope that everybody at home is all well, the only exciting news that I have had from home is that my friends Ali and Tom are engadged, which is great news, so if there is any
My rash.
Can anybody identify this rash?!?!?! other exciting gossip that I have not been informed off please make sure I hear about it asap!! ha ha.
Love you all, Miss you all too, and I miss pizza hut buffet, they only have pizza hut takeaways here, not restaurants, which is pants! ha ha.
