SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA)

No holiday would be complete without a few 'going awa' parties beforehand so after leaving sunny North Queensland and making a brief stop in Brisbane to catch up with my sister, I made my way to Sydney to catch up with various university friends and aquaintances. It was great being able to see everyone over a few beers at the Regent Hotel, Kingston whilst discussing my journey and future plans.

The next night Ben, Dean and myself (along with Hanna, the Swedish ring in) went to the end of session party at the Unibar where there was more alcohol to consume, dancing and lots more fun. I have many great memories from this night, not just saying my final goodbyes but also helping a very drunken Simon Riley home whilst I was wondering the streets waiting for it to be time to go to the airport and also chatting to various randoms during my adventures. I figured that because my flight was at 7am in the morning, an all night bender was a much better option than a few hours of alcohol induced sleep. However, what I didn't bank on was someone closing the door into the flat of appartments where I was staying and hence I was required to climb Dean's balcony (with the aid of a wheeliebin) and knock on the door, hoping someone would let me in. Certainly a good start to any holiday !!!
