Hey All,
Wow just realized i havent written since i was in new zealand lol. So anyhoo im in Syndey Australia right now. South actually in a place called Cronulla its near the coast and the beach is SO amazing here, which its been really nice everywhere ive gone so far but ill start over from when i arrived in Oz.....
So i was sick when i was travelling to Oz which sucked but everyone that i travelled with in New zealand were getting sick and left me with there colds i guess. Well that only lastest a few days and i cant complain really just lounged around abit. i didnt have to call in sick or anything haha. So i flew into Brisbane, (airports hate me FYI) where i was randomly searched by a dog and it smelt somethign so they had to go thru my bag (only my carryone tho) but i guess i had fruit in it from the day before and i was super nervous as they didnt tell me why i was being searched in the first place. everything was fine after they just wanted to make sure the dog was smelling things right haha. I went into the city of brisbane to stay at chill backpackers which was really chill lol. I stayed there for 5 days while getting my banking account started and buying a cell etc. Walked around alot and went for lots of runs as i was starting to feel fat as ive been eating and sitting on a bus for the last 3 weeks. I went around the brisbane river lots and walked thru there Botanical Gardens. Oh yeah almost forgot saw Queen Elizabeth too haha. So i was walking donw the street near one of there many bridges and you know there was a crowd on the bridge's sidewalk so you know when you see i line you just stand in it to see what everyones doing, well i pretty much did that then all of a sudden there was a big white boat that dropped off the Queen. I couldnt believe it. I guess she was doing a visit to the city and all around australia, as i heard she was in Perth after.
I was meeting up with my friend Jess from work at Garage clothing. Her dad lives in Brisbane. So anyways they invited to go to stay in a hotel for the weekend and it was on Palm Beach which is on the gold coast. It was really nice to stay in a hotel, be by the beach and not having to pay for accomodation. (the first dinner was steak MMM) better than my pasta or rice that i eat every night,. So we had a good time, went clubbing at night, had a bbq with her family and swam at the beach. Her dads advice for me was to dive thru the waves as it just kept knocking me over haha i felt really dumb. It was fun and really nice to see someone i knew from back home.
Went to surfers paradise for the day, then I headed to Sydney after as i am planning on going to Melbourne to see Julie for Christmas i figured i would try to get work in Sydney and work my way down now. And hopefully met Christie and Nicole for Jan/Feb in Sydney. then do my travels up the coast to Cairns.
But i was really liking the beach idea and so i headed into Bondi beach when i first arrived in Sydney. I saw the Opera House and the main city as i drove in by bus but i havent really travelled thru it yet, cause i had my big backpack and i know im headed back there evenually. I stayed in Bondi Beach for 3 nights (which is by far the best beach yet) I tried geting a job there but there are so many ppl there travelling it was really hard as well lots of the shops dont want backpackers and they literally write a sign on the window saying "Hiring - no backpackers" so i didnt have luck. I read in the local paper that there were jobs in Cronulla (where i am now) and i went around and havent had much luck. It was stressing me out for a couple days but now i have a interview on tuesday i believe but there calling me to confirm for a position at Surf dive n Ski shop. They sell clothes, bathing suits etc. this could be a problem for a luggage tho lol. But there Visual Merch was going to maternity leave in a week but they werent planning on hiring but b/c i had the experience they wanna hire me for christmas help. I didnt wanna work in retail but its hard geting a job for only 2 months in a restaurant or cafe and you need to have a RSA which is Serve it right for us which costs $120 and you need to do it again in every province. Or for a cafe its a coffee course that is $100... So i went the easy way for now. Just wanna keep my money flowing and not jsut going down lol. I also might work a farm for abit inbewteen things if it works out. Found one that pays $18 an hour. but i have to been on the farm by nov 13th and i shoudl have my interview just before that so we'll see.
Well thats really all thats new with me,. Just been really relazing and taking in the weather.. Just trying to making you guys all jealous, hope it worked.
Anyways i Miss you guys, Hope all is good at home
<3 Mieks xoxo
