Don’t be silly

All i am going to say is dont go to the city of the dead Brisbane. Not impress. Off the Fraser Island WOO!!!

‘Back to the sugar shack’

After waiting an hour and 45 minutes with Kim ‘I don’t no’ WE MANAGE TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE SUGAR SHACK IN SYDNEY (“,) and checked in for a week (was not going to have our bed sold again)

So we did the normal stuff, as you do when you go too Sydney apart from two thing that made this trip special. The first was Sydney markets which is a must when coming to Sydney Saturday the best day and you should try to get too as many as possible.

The second factor that made this trip was the room that we got in sugar shack not only did I get another good room but the people in it was wicked, after meeting them all I found out that I was living with 3 other English people which was not only cool because we could talk about how cheesy oz was, but we was also able to gang up on Kim about why England was better than the USA and how she couldn’t say certain words.

Apart from that I would highly recommend that you go to Sydney

London

City boy meets outback

So I officially started my travel Kim AKA Oregon as we headed off to tazzy (spelt like this on purpose).

We managed to hitch a ride to the location that was the start of our hiking trip right across tazzy, as we got closer to the location i continue to find out things that I didn’t no about the hike such as instead of being 65k it would be 85k and there would be no guide which I was informed otherwise before (Kim) and THIS WOULD BE DONE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WERE!!!!! And I mean now were.

The trek would take us across tazzy mainly through the mountains and we would stop at camp sites to camp, camp rest and refill 4 water.

Anyway as we stated off doing a quick shop for the weeks food supply literally the morning we left for the hike, we then packed up our bags carrying not only the stuff that we would need for the trip but for the 5 other weeks.. BIG MISTAKE.

The hike started and all was good the bags were heavy but we was happy the weather was amazing and the views were unbelievable. So after a hiking for couple of hours the realization and what this trip involved set in as back and feet started to hurt... BADLY!!!

I then realise what i had let my self in for as the severity of the trip set in this trip was going to be immense.

Anyway we got to the camp site about 6 hours after setting off and the relief is unexplainable, but we were still so proud of what we had achieve. (remember that this was still the first day)
Day two begin with me being woke up from a loud noise which when I looked around I could see that a KANGAROO had managed to pull my bag half way out the tent and had eaten HALF THE BREAD THAT I HAD CARRIED FOR THE WHOLE OF THE previous day so that it would not damage. (just my luck). And to my dismay the damn thing had got to quite a bit of it.
We had decided to do two legs on this day instead of one that was recommended as we could miss our flight if we attempted to do it in six days. As we continue through out the day we saw more people who told us we only had couple hours to go which really gave us hope, but as we later found out was not really the case as we were still not there after hiking for 5 hours. DEATH!!!!!!

Although the views and tranquillity still mange to amaze and make it well worth it.

The next couple of days were hard but we still manage to make it, then on the third day we decided to take on a side trail and attempt to climb and MASSIVE mountain. At the start it seem like a good idea but as we trekked on for about an hour and got nearer to the top we encounter snow (lots of it, feet deep) this was mountain top snow and because we were so high the fog was making it impossible to see more than a couple of feet in front of you.

After a couple of minutes of this I realise that this trip was CRAZY in these conditions, and we could no see the markers that tell us which way to go and almost every step I took I would sink up to my knees, and also the fact that there was a drop into the abyss beside me, and wise old German man had warned us that it was to deep and would be dangerous.
Anyway I convinced Kim that I valued my life more than seeing the top of a mountain, and she finally gave in (or she would have keep on going).

So i am not going to bore you with all the other details of what happen but i will tell you about two other bit that we found interesting.

The first was a old German couple and one German, the man seem to be able to move at unbelievable rate that we was unable to keep up and he had a daughter that was 50 so no idea how old he was, he mange to stay in front of us every day unbelievable!!!

The other German couple took double the time every day because they was so old but they continue to prevail never complaining and always with a smile on their face and the unforgettable Coles bag in tow.
Anyway we made it to the end and were so happy it was over, it was an amazing and unforgettable trip.

O and before I forget we made no plans for what we do when we finished so ended up trying to hitch a ride to the city, but only managing to make 5k down the road and then having to hitch a ride back lol (and of course I was not in sight when trying to get this ride lol big black trying to stop your car in the middle of no were).

We made it to the airport to the next day and manage to change flights so off to Sydney wooo!!!

The Real Deal a City after my Own Heart

G Day everyone

I woke up this morning and found myself doing what I usually find myself doing which is picking up my camera and looking at the pictures from the night before, and find myself smiling as i reflected on my trip to Sydney.

As me and my boy Pierre AKA London and Reno had found our self in Sydney, we had taken the challenge of flying with yours truly Tiger airways (tiger cheap). We landing in the perfect picture location of what you would expect of a good city; hot weather, sexy people and lot of shops (“,) not forgetting the not for getting the most importantly the LONDON UNDERGROUND jjjjeeeezzz!!!

But seriously words cannot explain my excitement as what can only be describe as relief to see trains and real underground system (sad I know but you try living in Melbourne)

Not to mention the fact that the trains were phenomenal, these Double Deckers super trains with it revolving seats and colored maps (what can say I am easily pleased lol) such as clever and simple idea but yet still AMAZING!!

As we sat we heard what can only be describe as metal doors shutting, and we turn round to our to our amazement we see that everyone is changing the back of their chair to face the way that they wanted, it was like an advert lol.

Reno and I had decided to go to a place that the some girls that we knew had recommended, after taking the train we emerge into what Australia call it red light district (I know I known I was in shock too and didn’t know it was called that before we got there).

After reaching out hostel call the ‘sugar shack’ (got to love it) we booked one night and contemplated whether to move on.

Morning came and I was woken by someone moving bags and as I looked up to see who was make this much noise so early in the morning to my shock everyone was still in asleep, and as I turn around to my amazement there was another guy moving into our room. The owner had warned us that he could sell beds quickly and had sold our beds before we had even woke up lol... unbelievable...

We manage to get another room which happen to be much better as it was one the top floor and had wicked view of the street and was the only ones in there wicked!!

The rest of Sydney was quite relaxed and we did what you normal do when you go to Sydney apart from one freak or should I say bizarre meeting..

After being in Sydney for two day and a bit, I was sitting in a internet cafe as you do. (Remembering that we had gone to this location on the spare of the moment remember that no one knew we were here), and the American and Mexican that had been studying with just happen to walk pass it was so random.

The chance that they would get off the same train stop and be walking down the same street when I was there was so bizarre.
Anyway the rest of Sydney was cool can’t wait to go back
