Sydney!!!!!
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Let me just say first up, I ain't ever staying anywhere less than 5 stars ever again.
Can you say best bed ever?
like think of all the most comfortable beds you have slept in, times it by 100 and you might come close to the bed at the Amora Jamison Hotel we stayed at... the hotel was awesome, we were on the 26th floor, over looking some clocks and buildings, people opened doors for us, we got to use some spiffy slippers and bath robes AND had an awesome buffet breakfast each morning. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i wish i had a buffet breakfast every morning.
I wish i lived in a 5 star place. fo shizz.
Anyways, I think Kye will write a better story about our trip but I'll just post some photos and write some stuff about the photos... you know when you are away from the net for a few days and you get out of the habit of being online, im kind of in that space right now, so ill try my best to remember what happened.
Friday we get up about 4:45am to get ready to catch our early flight from Cooly (thanks again Matt for the lift, and for coming back when Kye left her phone in the car
), mind you we (well me atleast, Kye stayed up later) didnt get to bed till like 12am cos we were out walking to the beach with Tsun and fez. So we get to the airport, check in our stuff, get on board and get all excited!
We land in sydney, ride on some travelators (ps. I ♥ travelators) and head to the train, we catch the train to Wynard and look really lost trying to find our street... we walked all over the place trying to find it, turns out it was like just round the corner. doh.
We go in, but we are very early, room not ready, so we drop our shizz off and I make us race to the 7 central studios to try and catch the end of sunrise... I wanted to get on the tv, so bindi could see me, but we got there just after 9 so no go, BUT mel and kochie were out the front signing autographs so we wait for a bit and get some photos with them!!!!! I was very excited, i was told a few times by security to step back.
pretty much at that moment everything i really wanted to do in sydney was over lol! i was so stoked to see them!
we went on to go shopping, kye found some awesome jeans, i got some cool tops that i was the first in australia to buy and i got this cute bag with a bow on it. we then went on a mission to find kfc. now let me tell you... every 5 metres was a priceline, hungry jacks and mcdonalds, but seriously we went looking for ages for kfc and couldnt find it anywhere... but after asking some dude, we found one, and a cool one! 3 stories high.
we then killed time (like hours of time) looking at shops till Zodiac was on at the movies. I guess you could say, we may of enjoyed it more if a. we werent tired from lack of sleep and walking all day, b. we werent wet from walking in the rain all day or c. the cinema wasnt as cold, if not colder than outside in the rain. oh and d, if something actually happened in the movie. but it was ok watching jake gyllenhaal for over 2 hours. thats what got me thru the cold shivers.
Then as we exited the cinema, i turned to Kye and said, "which way?" cos i had no idea where we were. Kye said "this way" and the way she said it, i had no doubt that she knew where she was going. So walking thru the pouring rain, cold as from the cinema and just wanting to be in the hotel and warm we continued our journey.
All of a sudden i realise there is alot of chinese writing, and hmmm, is that the Paddy's Market building???????
We walked totally in the wrong direction. FOR AGES.
this is me, realising where we were i was a sad sad wet panda
this is both of us, sad wet pandas
so we walk forever back past the cinema up to our hotel
this is me very very happy we made it back to jamison street.
i get back have a nice warm bath to defrost and get into the best bed ever to sleep.
At this point kye goes out, I tell her, not to get into strangers cars, or let them buy her drinks, and just to be safe. I'm sure you will read what she got up to.
So we sleep in for a bit saturday, and go get our buffet breakky. Sooooo sooo good. We then head out in the rain again and make the same walk to the markets and look thru, then walk down to broadway to look at utopia... at this point i have had enough of walking and being cold so i head back (on a bus) to the hotel to have a sleep. the bus was fun, so many people getting splashed by the bus.
Kye gets back about 5 and tells me about her random day looking at the art gallery and meeting people. She tells me about an artist she met named Juan. How he walked her back to the hotel, offered to take us out to dinner and show us round.. i think oh yeah, cool, free dinner. Kye briefly mentioned he gave her some artwork, i think oh yeah, must be pretty cool... so we say yes, but need to get ready... while kye was getting dressed, i see this ripped piece of paperbag, i was thinking, i wonder what this is... i look at it, it has a few lines on it, I say to Kye half being sarcastic... Is this his artwork... she was like yeah, I look at it again and go "WHAT THE FUCKKKK"
it was very funny. we hung it on the window of the hotel. so by this time its like 8pm, so the guy has been waiting around for 3 hours, we go down and meet him and geez, he was crazy. He told kye his name was juan, but introduced himself as nick and some other name, was so random singing really loudly and just strange... kye is ignoring him and its ME trying to talk to the guy, its all very weird, he goes off to talk on his mobile, comes back and makes up some weird story... me and kye got ditched by a crazy guy with a hospital wrist band. probably for the better... maybe he was a murderer and realised we were really nice and couldnt kill us anymore. who knows.
so we walk to the rocks to look for food, we spot the harbour bridge and the opera house. it started to rain, again.
kye has a funny hat
we then walk to circular quay, meet some cute boys, then head to the casino. it was pretty boring there so we decide to head to cockle bay to look at some clubs, along the way we meet some drunk 18 year olds, who take pleasure in calling me ReRe and both of us old birds. we end up ditching them after some laughs, then head to the city, where we meet some other random guys who were pretty cool, we walk for ages think about going to the arthouse hotel but alas with no apples i cant get my dancey on in public. then the guys had to go, we head back to the hotel, and sleep. ohhhh how i love that bed.
sunday we sleep in for ages, get another awesome breakky, pack up our stuff and check out. we head to circular quay again, wait for a ferry to luna park. someone had a great idea to sit outside in the cold.
we get some cool pics of the bridge and opera house, we catch the ferry all the way round, then back to luna park. kye falls asleep
we arrive at luna park
kye took these last 2
i meet my husband
he's cheating on me with kye
we find the mirrors
we then head to the coney island fun thing
after nearly stacking it on the walk thing we head to the spinny tunnel thing, its in 2 sections one spinning one way, the other going in the other direction... i go first
its dark but it was before i stacked it i think... it was so hard to get up and get out, i kept tripping over my feet... so embarassing... until it was kye's turn.
funtimes
we play the clowns:
then it was ferris wheel time... ok so in my defence its raining, and the wheel sounds sooo unsafe...
anyone who has been on a ride with me... (dreamworld people would remember) i FREAK once i am on a ride... so you know, the ferris wheel is the same, we could plummet head first into the ground... im sure it has happened before... i didnt want to let go
LOL!!!!!!!
so after that ordeal, we head off to catch the ferry back... but first stop a stranger to take a pic of us
back on the ferry, and kye falls asleep again!!!
we walk back to the city and pick up our stuff we say goodbye to our hotel
we train it back to the airport and get some krispy kreme doughnuts mmmmm
i also get a few rides in on the travelator! woot! i want a travelator.
the end
was a very cool holiday, im glad i have a few more days off to catch up on sleep.
highlight was definitely seeing mel and kochie. and luna park. and the bed.
AND soo glad it was just the 2 of us, no painful 3rd person like originally planned
