Had a final night out in Sydney which was a lot of fun - predrinks on the roof again, lots of WATOs, Aaron dropped Jess on the street, Gregor pissed in a doorway then got chased down the street by a massive Ozzie bloke and we found a place that did jugs of beer for $10 which was the most reasonable we've found! (£2.40 a pint roughly)

Went to Manly beach the next day - another fantastic beach and some of those photos are on Facebook but we got there quite late coz we were on a bit of a goonover :( still had a nice meal and got some cool footage on ferry there and back!
SURF CAMP
Sadly the people who booked surf camp early and paid more weren't allowed on the bus coz there had been a mix up and there was an overbooking so our group was halved but aside from that it's been absolutely mental!
We got driven down to Seven Mile Beach about 2/3 hours south of Sydney where the camp is. I stood up the first time we went out on Monday and now I can turn and do 180 jumps on the board and shit it's so much fun and I'm pretty decent at it I think so really wanna get a board! Food has been mint - Kangaroo steaks, hot dogs, burgers - basically if you can barbie it, they have it! After every meal I'm absolutely stuffed and there's a great bunch of people here :) In the evenings there's always a film on and they put up the pics of everyone from the day! Gooned on the beach last night and tonight might do too but surfing is so knackering that you really need your sleep!
(Couldn't post when I wrote this on Wednesday as had wifi issues so from now on is written today - Friday)
Gooned on Wednesday night but under a bridge near the beach as it rained, then gooned on the beach all the other nights, met some new people and generally had an amazing time - wasn't let down by any of it! I know this is suprising given my earlier grumpy blogs but I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Attempted a few 360s on the board but even if my feet hit the board I always fell straight off haha (still counts yeah?!) but one of the instructors said he only managed it a few weeks ago after surfing for 5 years! Got three 180s though on one wave which is my best achievement I think!
On train back to Sydney now so hopefully will post this when I get to Sydney central station. Plan for today is finding the hostel we're moving into for a week and going out with the surfing lot plus I'm meeting Caroline and Ele from Notts! #reunion #regoonion
So I've got a week to sort bank account, Medicare, place to live and get a job #BRINGITON
That's all from me for now - all my pics/vids of surfing are on my GoPro so can't put them up yet but check Facebook for photos and I will make a montage vid when we settle down in a place.
You stay classy,
Sooooooon xx
