Forever Young

With one week passed by back in Sydney, I am sitting here not ever so sure of what to write about.

On my return, I met a couple of German guys who I hang out with until Monday - this included sampling WeissWurst in a German restaurant in the city, and taking a meandering walk around to Bondi from the beach I am staying at - Coogee. There was also some drinking and kebab eating involved.

Flea arrived back in town on Tuesday, and since then we've been busy looking for somewhere to work, and somewhere to live. 1 out of 2 isn't bad, this afternoon we shift our back packs for the last time (for 3 months anyway!) and move onto Beach Street, Coogee. I'm now living just a minutes walk from the sand, and I can see the ocean from the kitchen - which sounds lovely... except for what most of us forget - Sydney has a Winter too - and it's approaching just as fast as my Thai tan fades. Thongs, boardies and T's have given way to jumpers, socks, jeans & trainers - a slightly depressing thought after 6 months of Summer.

In reality, the cool weather should make work a little more tolerable.

On Tuesday, it was Anzac day - an Australian equivalent of rememberance Sunday. However here, it's a bank holiday and also relaxes the state gambling laws - to allow anybody to play "2's up". A game where people bet freely on heads or tails - sometimes $10, sometimes $250! We left the 2's up hall before we did anything silly and enjoyed the last of the sunshine... before the heavens opened.
