Australia day was so much fun.

The surf instructors wife took us to Boat Harbor to go surfing. Their kids were so cute. The little girl had a barbie called 'Grandma Barbie' and one of the guys in the group taught her how to click her fingers at someone when she didn't get her own way.....her mum wasn't too pleased when she clicked her fingers at her! The beach was packed because of Australia Day, usually it's empty.I actually stood up surfing! I have photographic evidence but it's not on my camera. I've got so many bruises and cuts now though. We had a relay race, my team were called Boom Shakalaka. The race ended up in a dance off for first place, I'm pretty sure we came last. We had to come out of the sea at one point because lots of Blue Bottle jelly fish were nearby. One of the guys got stung, ouch.

To sum up, I would definitely try surfing again. 

 

On Thursday we went to Bondi Beach and saw the Bondi Rescue boys. No kisses yet but give me next week to produce photographic evidence! I did see Bondi rescue being filmed though. We also saw an ex Home and Away actor filming something at the famous skate park area. We sunbathed for a few hours before starting the Bondi to Clovelly coastal walk. It was such a hot but lovely walk which took about an hour and a half. A BBQ greeted us at Clovelly, I've had BBQ so many times this week. On the night we went for drinks at a place called the Palace. Drinks are so expensive, I can see why people drink boxed wine (GOON!).

I tried my first Cherry Ripe, YUM! Place your orders now.

On Friday we had to be up and out for 7:15am to go to the Blue Mountains. We had a tour guide called 'Smokey', his first song choice en route - ACDC. We stopped off to see some Kangeroo's on the way to the mountains and saw a freaky huntsman spider. Next stop - Glenbrook for a coffee and croissant before heading to Wentworth falls. The view was amazing, the photos really don't do it justice. We all decided to walk down to a waterfall and all absolutely died on the 20min trek back up! Katoomba was our final stop. We stopped at Echo point to see the Three Sisters before taking the 52 degree angle railway back to the top. The video of it is pretty funny. We drove over the Harbor bridge on the way home which was cool. I can't wait to do the bridge climb!

I booked my hop on hop off bus from Sydney to Cairns today and also my Fraser Island and Whitsundays trip. Getting excited to get on the road now.
