On the spur of the moment we decided to head to Bondi Beach, to the east of the city and where a lot of locals flock to on sunny weekend days. Bondi is one of the worlds greatest beaches with the Pacific creating perfect surf conditions, apart from us who can't surf!

This is where our nightmare began though as we hadn't booked a hostel ahead as we expected to just check in somewhere easily......wrong! Everywhere was fully booked so we ended up in a place called "Beached at Bondi" which is no where beside the beach. Anyway checked in and we were greeted by a Brazilian whose opening greeting was "Isn't suicide such a great release!." We laughed this off but were greeted by a Colin Farrell look-a-like who was drunk and listening to rap music from his very own amp! Long story short the Brazilian attempted suicide and spent the night in the hospital and the Irish guy drank and smoked till the wee hours in the morning.

We had booked 2 days and despite our best efforts we couldn't move rooms or get a refund so we are about spend our second night in hell and to make things even better my mobile phone has been stolen! Photos of this nightmare will be on our photo album in a few days when we get the internet again.
