Today is moving day! We were awoken as usual but for the last time by the very hungover northern girls. 8:30 breakfast and coffee time. Laura gets chatting to a man called Will who is an American who likes biking. This then ends up being a few hour long conversation about biking with himself and Myles. But he has added us on Facebook and invited us to meet up with him if we ever ride around America to show us some good driving roads. Bonus!
After this we packed had a shower watched the city to surf marathon from our roof where there was a sky writer, who had 3 shots at writing something but we couldn't figure it out. We decided it must have been someone's running number which was sweet.
After this we checked out but stayed around in the hostel till 12:30 as no busses were running due to the race. We played a game of snooker which took a good hour and Myles won and then pool which I won by total fluke! We said our goodbyes and set off to find our car. We couldn't take our car out of the garage without paying $320 because it had been in there over the weekend so we dumped our bags in the car and decided to come back on Monday to try and get the ticket validated so we didn't have to pay.
Then we had issues with the busses again. So we were told you had to buy a ticket from a local shop or newsagents very simple. We went to 5 different shops none of the guys in there knew what zone we needed or didn't sell tickets. Eventually we got a ticket which turned out to be wrong but didn't matter. We got onto the bus a good half hour later and put our tickets into the machine which is fine and sat down. It wasn't till the next day we realised the tickets were wrong.
We traveled around Sydney past Laura's work and arrived in Rose Bay town. We headed up towards our new house arriving to no one being home. This was a problem as the owner of the house wouldn't be arriving till 6 now.. It was about 3 by the time we got to the house after having a look around the town.
We entertained ourselves for a good hour then Myles sent Laura off with a challenge to find where she was going to work the next day. This took 2 hours for her to get there and get back. By this time we only had half an hour left to wait until Michael (the man who owns the house) to bring us our keys. Half hour came and went, so did the sun and we were getting rather grumpy and tired. Eventually he called us at 6:30 and asked where we were? We had told him at 12 that we were leaving for the house so you'd have thought he would have known that. Regardless he apologised and said he fell asleep and was on his way.
We got our keys and settled in.
Dinner tonight was fish finger and chip sandwiches followed by Australia's got talent and then bed.
We don't have wifi at our house so the blogs will be done in chunks again unless we find some local free wifi!
