australia


my next stop was Australia and although i was upset about leaving Thailand i was excited to get to Sydney as i got to the airport i was stoped and searched, my laptops were checked for porn and my flip knife was confiscated :(



as i was leaving the airport i got talking to a couple of English lads from Manchester, they had just arrived in OZ for one year traveling and working. i told them about a hostel i knew about and asked them if they wanted to share a taxi there. at the hostel we ended up getting a 4 bed room for 34 Australian dollars, cheep for Sydney. i stayed in the room with the 2 english lads and a big black guy from fiji who was very strange and disappeared at 3 o'clock in the morning, left all his things and didn't return. we checked out at 10 and i decided to go traveling with the guys i met at the airport we went to bondai beach shared a taxi to save money as no buss's were running on bank holiday. we found a cheep hostel and checked in.



I stayed at bondi untill after NYE on NYE I went to see the fireworks at the sydney harber and then went back to bondi for the beach party. After I left Bondi I joined on to a surfing camp I had booked earlier. After the first day I was thinking that surfing was not for me and was regretting booking a week on the camp, but after the second day and I managed to stand up a few times I was hooked, surfing is amazing! The rest of the camp was awesome and the instructures had a lot of surfing knowledge we surfed up the east coast all the way from sydney to byron bay and back again. After the course on the way back we swapped photos and facebook details. After I left the coach I went to find a hostel with a couple of mates I had met on the course. As they were also staying in sydney one day. I got a hostel next to the train stantion as I had to go to the airport early the next morning, that’s what I thought anyway, I ended up turning up a day early, better than a day late I guess so I caught the train back to the hostel and checked back in for one more night.
