Woke up and had the free breakfast at our flash packets hostel and then got a taxi to the airport. It was a really small airport so there was nothing to do really but the time went quickly! We were flying with Virgin Australia, it was a short flight but we got tea and a small sandwich. Then when we landed Nikki and I got the train into the city for some last minute Christmas shopping. Then we got the train to Lyne and Johns house. Alex was already there as she had hurt her ankle a few nights before and was on crutches- I can't leave her for two minutes haha- and Georgina was also there ready and waiting! We had pizza and a catch up, then my uncle Trevor joined us too. We had a few drinks and an early night before Santa arrived!
CHRISTMAS DAY!!! - we all woke up and had got ready, 4 girls sharing a room meant this took a while- then had breakfast. It was 27 degrees and sunny, a very bizarre start to a Christmas morning, deciding what shorts to wear! It was a busy house- Lyne, John, Trevor, Chris, Robin, Shane, Heather,
Alex, Georgina, Nikki and I! John then found a blue tongue lizard outside, I had wanted to see one for ages so that was pretty cool. Then we all gathered round the tree and took turns opening our presents, I got lots of really cool stuff which I wasn't expecting seeing as I'm not at home! After we all sat down for lunch- which wasn't a roast dinner! Because of how warm it is we had salads and other cold dishes which was again strange but it was all very nice! After dinner everyone chilled out for a bit and did their own thing for a while, we were going to all play cricket but the weather had started to cloud over and we weren't sure if there was going to be a storm- Aussie weather changes really quickly! After I rang home to say hi to my mum and dad and nan! The in the evening we had some drinks and played a hilarious game of articulate!
On Boxing Day we had breakfast and packed all our stuff to go to bondi! Alex went in Shane and Heathers car and I went in Trevor's with Georgina and Nikki. The
flat was really nice and we could see harbour bridge from it! It's also only a 5 minute walk to Bondi beach 😊 Trevor took us to her down good shopping and then we had a visit from Laurie, Emma and Kathryn from the hostel. Not long after Alan, Warren, Sam, Alex and Nando came to visit us too and we all hung out and caught up about our Christmases. Then everyone left and Georgina, Alex and I got ready to go out in Kings Cross. Alex and Sam then came back and picked us up. We went back to chili blue and saw everyone before going to a club called Soho.
The next morning I woke up and went with Nikki to Bondi junction to go shopping, the sales were good but thy didn't have a lot of sizes in clothes. Then Nikki and I stopped for lunch and I had a really nice Turkey, cranberry and Brie wrap followed by this yoghurt with berries and biscuit crumbs which was incredible! Then we went Paddington markets. It's full of quirky stalls and was the sort of stuff Nikki loves. We chilled in a cafe after before going round a
few more shops. In the evening we watched Findin Nemo and ordered a pizza.
The next morning we all had different things we need to do so had a bit of a getting stuff done morning. Then we all met at the train station to pick up Yasmin who had flown over from home 😊 it was really exciting!! We went for a quick shop in Bondi and then met up withAlex, Sam and Joe who were going to be staying in our apartment until the New Year. Yasmin was quite tired so we just chilled out at home and Joe made us all dinner. The boys were very well trained and cooked everything, washed up and bought us drinks haha Then we all watched American Psycho, it's a very strange film! After Laurie came round and we played Cards Against Humanity- it was hilarious!
The next morning was nice and sunny! Nita and Essi came round from the hostel and we all went to the beach! A few more people from Chili Blue came to join us, Alan, French Alex, Jasper, Nando, Warren and Franz. While we were on the beach someone proposed to their girlfriend by writing in
the sky, it was really funny! Then Nikki and I had to go as our cousins had bought us a jet boating experience on the harbour. We went to town and went on our thunder jet, it was really fun, you get soaked and hey spin the jet boat round really quickly and stuff. Then we went back to Bondi and Yasmin met us so we could do a bit of the coastal walk from Bondi to bronte- we wanted to get to coogee but a storm was coming in! In the evening we got ready to go to Chili blue- to show Yasmin and Nikki our home- they weren't impressed! Haha guess we are used to it after travelling for this long! We all went to Sugar Mill where they had a silent disco which was fun!
The next day we woke up at 1! We went into the city and I showed Nikki and Yasmin the opera house and then we got the ferry to Manly Beach. It was absolutely packed but it was nice. We stayed there until about 6.30 before getting the boat back as the sun was just starting to go down! When we got
back the boys made us Fajitas which were really nice and then we all put on facemasks haha
