Sydney.....Take Two
And action.... this scene of our drama unfoilds in an already opened chapter of our Australian adventures... this time we drive into Sydney (to return our Campervan).......
And in beautiful M.J. and Pixie style we obviously get SERIOUSLY lost!! However, fret not, for like always our characters manage to find there way safely to the required spot!!!! Once in Sydney Pixie and I stayed with a family contact she had. And boy was it a welcome change from the Camper Van lifestyle. They fed us sooo well (we felt guilty, and tried to get them to let us babysit there two kids for a night, but they would have non of it!), Thia, steak, lamb, great salads.... FABULOUS.
We would make our way down to the beach (Botany Bay)each day to get some sun, play guitar, and just chill-out. On one eventful day a guy went by us, jumped into the ocean fully dressed, then came back to chat. He tried to convince me to come busk with him (me play guitar and him sing)... We very quickly were overwhelmed by the self proclaimed ADD... although we did make the first venture to try the busking thing, we decided to back out when 10 min later he decided it was time to move again....
After a few days it was back to Epping (a part of Sydney where my friend Sarah lives) to hang out until it was time to go to New Zealand (the 10th). We managed to see such programming as the OC (shame we know), desperate housewives, and lots of Sex and the City. Pixie and Sarah both got sick (although I managed to avoid it while in Sydney), so it was lots of R&R. We did manage to have one imporomptu night of drinking with some guys who live in the appartment above Sarah's (and Pixie and I broke into our second pool while drunk in Australia). Eventually things, that evening, got a little sketchy, lets just say crazy ex-girlfriend and things being thrown. The moral of the story is: Never leave a Nalgene on the railing from the appartment above your's deck, especially if you can't go back up there and you aren't tall enough to swing at it with the broom yourself (bwahahahaha, Pixie!!)
Things were generally peaceful in Sydney and we were grateful for them opening there homes to us!
ONTO NEW ZEALAND
