The Trip: Chapter 2 - Very Bad Wagers

No time for breakfast we had Canberra to see!

This took 20 minutes.

Paliament House:

The ANZAC Memorial:
That's it - I think there was a museum somewhere but our heads were spinning from the megacity were were in and we thought it best to head to the sleepy little hamlet of Bondi Beach and pick up Yeremey.

With myself driving...
...and 2manyDJs educating the heathens we were well on the way fortified by only the finest KFC the A.C.T. had to offer. Rolling into Bondi:
... we quickly picked up Yeremy and his French housemate only referred to as "Oi Frog" and popped over to Maroumbra beach for a spot of surfing.

A 2.5 meter swell and my foolish use of the mal quickly taught me a lesson and after being hilariously and repeatedly wiped out we eventually retired back to Yermey's for his introduction into the world of Shambles.

Derived from the fleetingly popular cocktail AbsolutChamBulls we mix 2 bottles cheap sparkling white, one bottle nasty vodka (now referred to as NotWater) and 4 cans RedBull and eventually wake up in jail in East Timor.

Shambles and poker well underway we were accosted by a swedish housemate of Yeremy's who proceeded to sell me a hammock for $2, and a rather fetching flourescent 80's style wetsuit for $7.80. This would later come back to haunt me.

Winding up at a club in town The Wager was made - since all of us (barring Adam) were now single, the last of us to get a girl back to the sofa we were sitting on would have to wear the aforementioned wetsuit on the next night out. Unfortunately thanks to Shambles I had the people skills of a refrigerator and kept shouting at my own reflection - this led me and Mike to both give up allowing Yeremy to win with the classic drunk american yet there to be no actual loser.

This is not good logic or betting karma. My comeuppance eventually came....

GIANT CHOCOLATE BUTTONS!!!

Still so easily pleased :)

Worked out when I get you back yet? Only Furry-Flapjack needs a bath and I want him sparkly for when he has to return to you, he's still all muddy from Muse fun in Cornwall - speaking of which, am thinking of getting that 'Best Friends' photo of Cupcake and Flapjack enlarged and printed, Ive decided that I luff that photo :)

Lots of coursework to do between now and end of term, not the best situation, but good news is that Im feeling a lot better than I did last week, and am hopefully going to be back on form in no time. That'll teach me to drink silly amounts faaaaar too regularly, Im a delicate flower after all.

Amusement for the moment, Ella just text me, and I love her! She's officially mine now, since you abandoned us both. We got the last laugh :P

Note for Mummy Hall - I want all the travel gossip, and am horribly jealous of you! Love and hugs :)

Best go do something useful - like sleep, snoozie Suzie needs to procrastinate less...

Lots of love, hugs and marshmallows!

YOU WERE IN MY DREAM AGAIN! Hasnt happened for a while, but it was really weird, we werein this pub / country house thing, loads of people, it might have been a wedding or something, not entirely sure. Anyways, you turned up looking all floaty-colourful and unwashed (apparently my subconscious likes to merge the two different meanings for 'traveller' when I am fast asleep). Anyways, much hugging was had, made me feel happier!

Having a bit more lurve-drama today, but hopefully it's all good... have to remember that even if it's not, it's all OK. There is always chocolate - a 1kg bar in fact, sitting in the fridge... :D

Hope you are sparkly, miss you!

Love and hugs
