Leaving Sydney and The Pink House
Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Kings Cross
April 10th 2006 by Marsie
As I am always so retrospective with my Travel Blogs I thought that it would be a welcome change to get one that was hot off the press! I left Sydney on Saturday and felt very emotional to be leaving the City, the Freak Show (not my words) that is Kings Cross Strip and obviously my hostel: The Pink House.
I have felt very much at home in most of the places I have stayed in since I have been away and haven't (touch wood) suffered with homesick, putting pay to my mums notion that "I am a little nomad"...This place has been my home (on and off) since early December and for the long termers it is a home from home. A lot of people say that it reminds them of halls at university, its a very strange attachment that we all have to the place and I can't describe it.
During my last few weeks I had far too many late nights, drank far too much wine/beer/anything that was going but it was all good! There are lots of photos attached of recent nights and my last night on Friday.
However now in Christchurch I am paying for all my late nights - I woke up at 11.00 this morning and its certainly not jet lag. However I am not going to get much rest in New Zealand, I am starting my travels tomorrow and doing the Tranzalpine Express from Christchurch across to the east of the country-Greymouth. This is meant to be one the best train journeys in the world, I will report back on how it compares to the mighty Crewe to Liverpool pass...
This blog is very brief and to be honest its just an excuse to put up loads of photos but all the same I hope you enjoy. LOTS OF LOVE XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Room 15 Balcony!
I was in room 15 for over a month and we had such a good group of people in it. It was also a very sociable room as it had a balcony...many a late night putting the worlds to rights on this balcony!
Champange Club
We all used to meet every Thursday evening for free 'Champagne'...Champagne it wasn't but it was still a good craic
Me and Miranda doing Fire Poi
Bruce had been teaching me and Miranda (hostel manager) poi and thought that we were ready to progress to fire. I managed to do a few moves but ones that I could normally do with unlit poi I suddenly ... [more]
Me and Bruce
Bruce is a street performer that stays at the hostel and is a great pal. As you can see I got a bit dirty doing fire poi!
