LAST WEEK IN SYDNEY!!!
So I decided as it's my last week that I needed to make it a busy one and try and do something most days. It seems strange thinking this part of travelling is over as 3 months always seemed so long to be somewhere!
Woke up quite late which wasn't a great start to my plan and watched a couple of episodes of BB with Alan. Then Joe suggested we drove to the Sydney Harbour National park so I went with him, Alex, Warren and Sam for a look around. It was only a 20 minute drive so didn't take long. When we got there we had a look around and found a place you could go cliff jumping but we didn't have our swim stuff with us but the boys said they will come back and so it another time! We went on a walk and it had some lovely views of the city and harbour bridge. We found a nice place to chill out in the sun and Joe played some songs on his guitar- which I ruined by singing along! Then we went back after Alex had finished work and had a
family fajita meal with Alan. They were really good! After dinner we were all a bit hyper and went to our room and made a bridge between bunk beds using a mattress (it probably makes no sense but it was funny!) Later on we went to Coles and bought some snacks to watch a film but Alex, Sophie and I were tired so we went to bed instead!
On Thursday I woke up and Alex had work so I hassled Brighton Alex and Warren to do something fun with me as it was my last week ... Eventually they gave in and we decided to visit the Chinese Garden of Friendship. Alan joined us too. We walked to town and got distracted by a massive play area which involved me and Warren attempting to race to the top of a big net climbing frame- instead we just got overtaken by lots of children! Then we went on the swings which led to a near death experience as Warren pushed me too high haha then we made our way to the Chinese Garden. It was really pretty and we looked round for a while, taking lots of photos. Then we started
seeing loads of spiders there and ended up going on a bit of a spider hunt- some of them were pretty big! We headed back after and hour or two and I got ready for Robin's arrival at chili blue- for those of you that know him you will be as surprised as I was that he would go to a hostel! - I thought he wouldn't enjoy it but he embraced it and had dinner, pasta and sauce, and even bought a box of goon with him! We had dinner and drinks with Alex and then I had arranged to meet Tom, who Robin had introduced to me during my first week in Sydney. So he and I went to shady pines saloon for some Cocktails and a catch up which was nice. At about 10 I had to go back to the hostel for a trip to world bar and Robin and Tom decided they would join!!! We went back to my hostel and met everyone before heading out- we had a hilarious night which included a delightful routine performed by them both to single ladies by Beyoncé! It was a really good day!
The next morning was
Sacha and Alex's day of fun! We got up and went into town to a posh cafe to eat some New York cheesecake we had our eye on! It was really good, then we went to choose a pandora charm to represent or time together 😊 in the afternoon we planned to do the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk- which warren, Alan and Sam decided to join us on! It was a really hot day so we went after 3 when it was a bit cooler. It was a nice walk with lovely views. We ended up climbing lots of rocks and things as the boys liked to detour a bit 😊 In the evening we had the free pasta meal and hung out in the kitchen area. Lots of people were going out but Alex and I were saving ourselves for my leaving party the following night!
Had an early start as I was having a girly day with Laurie, Kathryn, Emma, Georgina and Alex! We went to Tamarama beach and had a BBQ which was really nice. Then we sunbathed for a few hours- it was absolutely boiling! Then we all went home and got ready for mine,
Kathryn and Dewins leaving party! Everyone came out for it which was really nice 😊 Georgina made us all an incredible cake and I got giving a card with really cute messages from everyone! Then we headed out to Kings Cross hotel and I had a really good night with everyone!
The next morning I wasn't feeling too fresh but had a family brunch at 9.40 so Alex and I had to get up! We went to a posh place and had a nice brunch- I got pancakes with passion fruit and caramel which were good! Then we all said our goodbyes and I went home for a nap before heading to Bondi to do some more shopping for my Fiji Trip! When I got back Alex,Alex and I watched films in his room before having dinner and chillaxing.
The next morning was Australia Day which I had been looking forward to for ages!!! There were loads of things planned for the day such as beach parties, water slides and other fun things! When I woke up though it was POURING with rain! Which ruined all the plans we had :/ we were all a bit grumpy about it until
about midday when we decided we would just have a party at the hostel instead! Someone suggested we made fish finger sandwiches- a great idea since I haven't had fish fingers in 6 months! Then later we got the ciders in and had a party and games at the hostel. Halfway through the day I got a message from Dave, my friend from home saying he was staying in my hostel that night with his girlfriend- I was super excited to see him! He turned up in the evening and we went to Sugar Mill silent Disco with everyone from my hostel for my last night out! Had a really, really fun night!
The next day was still pouring!!! Which was sad as it was my last day in oz but Alan and I still had nine episodes of Breaking bad to watch so the rubbish weather made that easier! I met robin at 3 for a final catch up and a smoothie before continuing the BB marathon! In the evening lots of us got the hostel pizza deal and hung out, I had a catch up with Dave and Lucy which was good as they leave early tomorrow! Then
Alex and I had an hour together - she wanted time with me before I left haha we went to the corner shop to buy some kit kats and he have us a special offer because he was sad I was leaving (clearly I go there too often!) so we got 4 kit kats for $5 and he took a selfie with me haha then after me and Alex had chatted I finished watching BB with Alan and Warren until 3am!
Cannot believe I will be in Fiji tomorrow!!!
