Day 65

My day was rather eventful actually. I had planned to have a relaxing day in Sydney before I caught the coach to Port Macquarie. Checked out of my room at 10:00 and left my stuff in a locker so I could walk around Sydney. Hooked up free wi-fi in Hungry Jacks. Checked emails, facebook etc. Read my book in the park when i felt something drop on the back of my neck. Swiped it and found it was a spider. I later realised that this spider was a White tailed spider. One of the most deadly spiders in Australia. That could have been ugly. They wont kill you but they make you break out in ulcers all over your body and then that can lead to death. Wont be sitting under any trees for a while.

They have a Large chess board for the public set up in the park. Normally the games are pretty boring but there was a really comical over confident Chinese man playing. He kept insulting the other guy "oh you learn something big boy?" "chess vewy simple" "ha ha game over for you" "mama mia" he pulled a huge crowd and everyone cheered whenever someone took his piece. Was very funny. It was even funnier when he lost for the first time and actually ran out of the park.

Also saw a crazy women screaming about the end of the world as she power walked through the park, red faced and with a lovely stream of snot flapping around in the wind. Her face was bright red. I think she has a better chance of bursting a blood vessel before she gets to see "the end of the world".

Got the coach in the evening. Took 5 hours to get to my hostel. I say my hostel. Turns out the reception was close when I arrived and my room was obviously not ready. Was actually my fault. I didn't book the night I was arriving I booked for the day I was arriving. Had to wait until morning when reception opened so I could check in. Attempted to sleep in one of the hammocks outside but didn't succeed. Felt like I was in a cocoon. Also was being attacked my mosquito's all the time. Luckily i wasn't the only one who made the same mistake. 2 other girls had done the same thing so we just sat up and talked. The reception opened at 5am as a load of people was going surfing. They couldn't give us a room but they opened the film room and let us sleep on the coaches. It had been a long night and I just passed out...
