Back to Sydney

I was told at Bondi to stay at Sydney harbour YHA and was glad I did, first off I got put in a co-ed room with some cute Swedish girls, bonus. And the room didn’t stink like 6 guys in a small room like the room in Bondi, double bonus!!! The girl at reception said I should go check out the hostels 1st birthday party. So I go down there(they were gonna have it on the roof but it was raining) and there is a giant tub filled with ice and free beer!!!! a bunch of snacks and hotdogs, it was great! I met alot of cool people, staff and backpackers. Afterward we went to the pub besides the hostel. 

Next day got switched rooms with a bunch of guys again, O man, one dude had the smelliest feet ever!!!Words cannot even explain! Walked across the harbor bridgeand back and then the Melbourne Cup was on and they literally shut down the city for a few minutes while the race takes place, it’s very big here. So I put $5 on “So you think”, the only horse I heard of on the news and a couple Ozzie’s I was with gave me a hard time about betting the favorite, whatever. My horse came in 3rd place and I lost my $5, they lost also.

Made me switch rooms again cause I am never trying to plan in advance at all, and apparently when you do this they have to toss you from room to room. Got ride of smelly feet dude at least, that night they were having a private party for tour guides and what not for the backpacker convention coming to town on the weekend, so myself and another fellow Canuck, Evan went up to try to get free beer again. At first they didn’t want to let us in but we said we were Canadian backpackers and that’s all it took!!! And the owner told us not to tell anybody else. So 2 out of 3 nights I  got free beer at this hostel, best hostel ever!!!  This picture was off the roof of the hostel!!!
