Swedish Proverbs

To update, I didn't bring up that I was a cat lady, and I tried super, super hard to not say the word 'y'all.'

It was really fucking hard, but I managed it alright.

The adventures at HQ will be some of my favorites from the week in Sydney--those happenings are as follows:

There was a mission to find a bath towel for LP, that turned into a 4 1/2 excursion all around Sydney that ended up with one of the Best views at the Harbor from the Pylon Lookout on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. (Pictures at the bottom)

We were introduced to 'Goon'-- which is the backpackers version of boxed wine-- think of the brand Franzia... Disgustingly delicious and stupid cheap.

The sexy scandinavians. That's all I can really handle saying about that.

Rachel from Belfast, Ireland with a pretty excellent southern drawl , and Mags from Scotland who has a serious love for Las Vegas. Together we made 'the Goonies' or the 'Goon Squad.' Obviously original names.

Drinking games.

Oh and the very sexy Australian.


Anyways, Backpackers HQ in Kings Cross turned out to be our favorite hostel. Wake Up! Is great, but the community at Backpackers was absolutely wonderful and is exactly what I think we needed.

After our weeklong adventure in the land of Oz-- the land Down Under, I am so much looking forward to really starting our trip away from the hustle of an international city.

Australia, I WILL be back one day, but for now....

To AUCKLAND!
