Sorry, I know it's been a little while since my last blog...

I have wanted to do one, but kept forgetting my camera, been to hungover or been drinking!

Well since I last wrote, what have I been up to... It was a good move, leaving wake up for Harbour City. Made some good mates with the people in my room - 315 baby! (Chris, Gemma, Melanie, Nicola and Elco)
The 1st night there we all headed over to World Bar and the night begun with some Jager -Bombs, followed by some more Jager-Bombs and god knows whatever else.. In the end I was asked nicely by the bouncer to leave for being to drunk..Me!.. So I headed home and fell into a deep sleep until, Chris and Gemma jumped up onto my bed and asked me to go drink goon with them... Ended up going back to bed about 6:30am!

The next evening we went to the Gaff for some free food, well if you buy a schooner (between a half and a full pint - what they drink on Neighbors!) - after yet more Jager-Bombs we headed home, which is down a steep hill, mode of transport being an office chair we found - so we took turns diving down the hills on that!!...

For Halloween I made a "goon" costume, well technically Gemma did , I was useless - it looked great, however after losing my wallet for a few hours I didn't end up going to Ant's party, so let some Dutch guy wear it on a night at the gaff - see pictures.


Apart from drinking, I've been to Watsons Bay, which is a little sea front area about 30minutes by ferry from the center of Sydney. It was a really nice day and I wondered around the beaches - all very nice till I realised I'd forgot my sun cream - ended up nice and red that day!

Once my week was up at 315 I decided to head over to the Blue Mountains for a few days, the theory was to do some walking, rock climbing and mountain biking. The reality was because it was pissing it down so much, I did my laundry the 1st day - all rock 'n' roll here!
The hostel was a converted house, the owners we're nice but I was the only English person there and I didn't really enjoy it much, no one drank and we all just sat round a log fire drinking coffee and reading books - so I decided the next morning, regardless of the wet and foggy weather I was going to do the Blue Mountains and leave.

It was so worth doing the Mountains, even in the rain, it was great to walk round the forests and see some great views when the clouds broke. It was just miles and miles of forestry, with birds flying about. After a 5 hours of walking the trails I was knacked and slept well that night.

I booked back into the Harbour City and 315, the other day. I have decided to look for some work, so applied for a couple of Data-Inputting jobs - I have an interview on Monday afternoon, fingers crossed!
If nothing comes of it, I think I may head down to Melbourne for a little while. I just feel a little frustrated with knowing I can't really start traveling up the coast till New Year, as accommodation is a problem and I really want to see New Year at the Sydney Harbour.

Yesterday Mel, Chris and I walked over Harbour Bridge, I can tell you it's an massive structure and it felt cool to walk it. Not to sure if I will cough up the cash to clime it as the view is amazing anyways. In the evening we walked over to "The Rocks" area of Sydney because there was a market on, it was a nice evening, from just going out and getting smashed - we still drank down get me wrong, but it was more civilised.

It seems the weather is picking up, as it's been rubbish the past few days, so hopefully tomorrow we'll head to Manly Beach for the day - got to keep my redness up.

Have to say I feel so chilled out at the moment, I just am missing the Curry Sundays, but we might go for one tonight. I hope everyone is well & it'll be good to hear from you guy & girls back home.

Hopefully I will add some pictures now....

Bye for now....G
