Final day in Hong Kong was good craic! If we weren't already friends the night out brought us all together and recapping the drunken stories in the morning cemented the friendships!
Selfie selfies are just too easy
Coach took us to a Buddhist temple and some other fancy temple-like place with gardens. Again there was little explanation of what it was and Lyona the tour guide wasn't fantastic but got a selfie selfie at each location so I think that means I win? Also had some beef noodle soup and it didn't have bones in it amazingly so nearly made up for the meal the night before. Maybe not ALL Chinese food in China is shit.
Got to Australia on Monday and it is pretty amazing - not too expensive or hot so far! Turns out I hadn't paid for the first two nights hostel through BUNAC either so arrived in Australia with no room for the night like a true traveller.
Nicknamed one of the guys 'Gary' (short for Gary Groundwork) because he put in a solid 9 hours of flanter on the plane with the girl next to him and it's taken off as a nickname now hahaha
First day and night we went to what I now call 'Spoons' across the road with $4-5 schooners (£2-3) and introduced 'What are the odds' which was always going to be funny and has led to all sorts of outrageous behaviour so far as expected. Ended up in scubar where there was crab racing and loads of backpackers like us which was a good laugh. I stole one of the girls sunglasses and gave them away to a random - the first time she retrieved them, then I did it again and they were gone for good #oops #itwasjustbanter - had to pay her €30 today for a new pair :( Stayed in a spare bunk in one of the guys rooms as I still hadn't sorted a room :p
Second day we had BUNAC presentations on employment, surf camp, campervan rental etc. all day basically which was dull but along with most of the others I signed up for surf camp next week which sounds so good, then I actually paid for a room and had a nap which I didn't wake up from in time so missed the night out and just went to the pub with the people who were around.
Today is Wednesday and the first proper day in Sydney so obviously went to Bondi beach! It's hot but the wind keeps it bearable and the sea is proper cold. We bought some sausages and burgers which we cooked for a late breakfast on the free hot plates by the beach, oh and got some fantastic body boarding videos in the sea with the GoPro #LivingTheDream
5pm here is 7am in the UK so a week ago today I was in bed at home about to leave it for the last time! Unbelievable that since then I've been via Hong Kong and am now sat on Bondi beach using the free wifi!
Keep it real homies, proper Bondi pics/vids to follow when I recharge the GoPro.
Sooooooon xx
