Friday May 7th Amy, Jason and I headed up to Bondi Junction. Our plan for the day was to do the beach walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. The walk/weather was beautiful! It was more hilly than I thought it was going to be, but good for the ole’ legs. We past many different beaches along the way, all with that awesome blueish green water.
At night we met up with Jen Reaves and the four of us headed to the Ice Bar in Circular Quay. This was a bar that was made entirely out of ice. For a $20 entrance fee we got knee length parkas, ugg boots, gloves, and a free drink. It was good that they supplied us with proper attire because we showed up to the bar in shirts and dresses. It was so neat inside the bar, we took tons of pictures! After the ice bar we went to a German restaurant where we had planned to eat until we realized how expensive the food was. Everyone decided to just get beer and I got a pretzel. We finished up at the German restaurant and headed to Pancakes on the Rocks for a real meal. Just to find out that there was a huge line. The three of them ended up getting pies at Pie Face, I waited until we got to the Gaff to get food. There was a Extreme Adventures reunion being held at the Gaff and by buying a drink you could get a free meal (I got spaghetti bolognaise), and then later on in the night we were given 2 free drinks.
On Saturday we hopped on a bus and headed back to Wollongong (the trains were under construction). We got back to the apartment, had to quickly jump in the showers and pack bags to go camping that night. Heather and her boyfriend Tim picked us up around 1:20 and we began our journey. Tim was so awesome that he brought us 30mins into the middle of nowhere to a camp ground Coolendel in Nowra. He gave us a tent and as esky (cooler) to hold our food. He help us set up and then left for the night. The four of us made dinner (cheeseburgers) and then started a fire. Heather’s mom had sent her marshmallows, Hershey’s chocolate and graham crackers so that we could make smores! They were delicious! We sat by the fire for about 5 hours chatting about life and looking up at the stars. The stars were absolutely amazing. There was a band of stars that looked like a rainbow of stars across the sky. So beautiful! We went to bed around 11:30, when it started to get really cold. I slept in my comforter and wrapped it around me like a burrito. At one point in the night I got so hot I woke up sweating. We all woke up after 10:30 which was later than we had planned, but once we had eaten we headed out to explore the area. We hiked along the river and then hung out on some rocks. Tim picked us up around 3! What another amazing weekend!!
