G’day Mates!
Unfortunately after spending a wonderful time at the Maori, it came to say goodbyes. With tears and laughter, we departed Otoko Pa by taking a four hour bus ride to Wellington. Once we arrived to Wellington, we as a group decided that we were going to save money and stay the night at the train station to catch an extremely early flight the following morning. But little did we know that the train station kicks everybody out at midnight. Thankfully, we were able to take shelter outside in a waiting area provided by the bus service. After little to no sleep, we were off onto the next leg of our journey, Sydney.
After landing from our turbulent flight and sorting out a mess with our shuttle driver we arrived at our hostel in downtown Sydney. After venturing around the city and getting accustomed to our new surrounding, we spent our well earned money on a nice group meal. Eric fell in love with our appetizer, wedges dipped in sweet chili sauce and sour cream. The next day our group went to Bondi Beach. We spent a couple hours on the beach before a thunderstorm forced us to leave. The next day, the group split up and toured the city doing whatever they wanted to do. Many people walked to the Opera House while others went back to the beach. Our last full day in Sydney the group split up again. Some of the boys decided to go golfing along the water front. The others went to the aquarium and to another local hot spot, Manly Beach.
We now are in Alice Springs which is smack dab in the middle of the Australian outback. We now await our next adventure, the groovy grape.
Until next time,
Walkabout
Yours truly,
Penrod & Gabe.
