Darling Harbour by Night, Bondi Beach by Day

What a superb 24 hours. Last night I and the blokes from the room went to Darling Harbour, on the off chance we happened upon some live music, a covers band in a place called Tokio Hotel,

Fortunately it wasn't as confusing as this guy(?)

The band went by the name of... um... I don’t recall their name, but they were good. We also met up with Zoe, the German girl who was once part of our room’s motley crew! We got talking to a couple of Americans and an Aussie girl, the Aussie seemed to really like Queens of the Stone Age. The beers did flow and the music was funky so dancing was on the cards and dance we did! Here’s a short video of the band to create some ambience for the following pictures...

This is Mark, our resident Czech guy!

Coolest table in the building!

So that was Darling Harbour, this morning Matteo, Alex and myself were supposed to go to the Blue Mountains, but it seemed pointless as it takes two hours on the train to get there and as we didn't wake up until about 11. So if we did go we’d have about two hours of daylight before having to come back. So Alex and I went to Bondi Beach (Matteo wanted to sleep some more). We wondered around the beach, got our feet wet and managed to do some pretty risky climbing...

Cool...

...Still cool!

Inappropriate footwear makes this kind of thing even more fun!

And then we bumped into two people from our hostel, Ben and Harriet (Harriet from our room, which was a nice coincidence). So Ben, Harriet, Alex and me trotted off towards Tamarama Beach and watched the sky change colour as the sun set behind Bondi, of course we did have a laugh on our mini adventure as well but the sun set was a nice close to the day.

Tamarama beach, if you squint you can see New Zealand.

Kudos to Alex for this pic of Bondi.

Tomorrow I will venture to the Blue Mountains and I have also promised myself that I will go to Manly beach next week and actually try my hand at surfing!

What's the worst that could happen?
