The bus leaves Sydney at 7am so it was an early start and I just barely made it there in time, but I did make it! It was about a two hour ride and when we arrived I used my GPS to find the hostel which was only two blocks away anyway! After I got settled in I went for a run out to Nobby’s lighthouse and around Newcastle beach up a big hill where there was a very old jail with great views of the city. On the way down I came upon a Magnificent old church and it was open so I was able to go inside. I went back into town and found the “Hunter street mall” so I bought some eggs and olives! The hostel had a “FREE” bbq on tonight which was actually at a local bar, The Brewery, so I signed up before my run and seen a girl in the lounge I had seen while I was out running so I chatted her up and we went to the bbq together, Meika from Germany. The meal was completely free and they gave us a bunch of 2 for 1 drink vouchers! After dinner they had a game of trivia with the chance to win even more drinks! Our table didn’t do so well and we left after the trivia. There is a “free” place to go called “Blackbutt Reserve”, kinda like a botanical gardens but with animals to see! Meika and I made plans to go there the next day.
