Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia
Australia, being the otherside of the world, is my half-way point and I'm so pleased to be here. After almost 2 months in Thailand being back in civilization is great! Don't get me wrong, I love Thailand and I know I'll keep going back, but Australia is home away from home, especially for us pommes. The apartment I'm staying in, a stones-throw away from Bondi Beach, belongs to Georgia (CCE) and Nik (friends from back home) but they're away for Christmas and back in the New Year. When they get back we're going camping and mountain biking in Hunters Valley and the Blue Mountains.
But there's a lot to do before that. Today I'm celebrating my return to good health after about a week of feeling rough from some kind of stomach bug. To kick start things I'm going on a mini-pub crawl with Daryl, another friend of Nik and Georgias who's staying in the apartment. As Angus suggested, we'll start in the Paddington Inn, heading up to Paddington Green and then over to Coogee for some fish and chips before getting amongst the Bondi hotties.
Christmas day is starting to look quite special - a day on Bondi beach with an awesome Fatboy-Slim-At-Brighton-Pier type setup - and of course the typical aussie BBQ. I'll be on Skype and MSN Messenger about 9pm, 10am GMT, for a chat with Ma and Pa and anyone else that's online.
The challenges have been coming thick and fast over the past 2 weeks. Although I'm keeping some a secret (Nicola - genius!!), I'll be wrestling crocs, swimming with sharks, dicing with death when I wind-up a Brown Snake, and poking deadly spiders. Keep the challenges coming - especially the New Zealand ones, not many of those yet...
Have a GRRRRREAT Christmas and a wicked New Year!!
