With a horrendous hangover from the previous night’s frivolities I took to the city with Matt.\u00a0 We went to Bondi beach on the train and it was clear why it had a reputation for being a great place to surf and generally hang out.\u00a0 The beach was stunning and it just seemed awesome that you could have such a great beach in a huge city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Bondi beach we went to Sydney harbour where we got a boat from the harbour to Manly beach.\u00a0 I really liked Manly beach as a name and hoped to see lots of buff types talking in gruff voices saying things like, “Yorkie, it’s not for girls”, \u00a0– I didn’t of course.\u00a0 Actually it was at manly beach that there was a group of the skinniest, campest guys who stripped down to their speedo style pants before running into the sea.\u00a0 It wasn’t really sea swimming weather in my mind but it was pleasantly warm.\u00a0 The boat ride to Manly was great and the views of the harbour and Sydney Opera house were awesome.\u00a0 The Opera house was actually much smaller than I thought it would be but it was perfectly formed.<\/p>\n

In the evening we met one of Matt’s friends (Will) who had moved from Melbourne to Sydney and went to stay at his house in an outer suburb of Sydney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
