Whiskey in the Jar! Bye Bye Canberra

My Oh My, what an evening in the Transit bar under the YHA. If you go to Canberra you need to visit, best bar in town. I ended up on the Whiskey and it was very nice Laphroaig 10 year old. Couple of these’s then an American gave me an American whiskey which was nowhere near as nice but heck it was free! I hit bed around 10pm

Wednesday I was up early as had planned Skype sessions. I was out of the hostel by 8am, yep miracles can happen. I headed straight to a corridor next to the Apple store and ran a speedtest 40mb down 15mb up. That probably explains why I had such a great Skype that lasted 1h17mins well then Mum managed to beat this racking up 1hr30! The clarity was excellent and I really enjoy both conversations.

After these I wandered around for a bit before going and waiting at the coach terminal for around 45mins. On to the Greyhound bus and we were off for our 3hr50 journey to Sydney. The coach had 4 people onboard so I relaxed had a power nap before making good use of the free WiFi on the coach. All in all a great trip for $26.

On arrival I wandered around 250m to get to YHA central hostel. It was here I had fun trying to explain I didn’t have my YHA card but had number and in the end they accepted it. I got my room and took my stuff up there and put it away before going out to find a supermarket to get some things. It was rush hour and so it didn’t help, but it was packed and noisy and smells of rubbish, traffic and smoke. It looks just like any other large city and is really just a concrete jungle. This really didn’t feel welcoming at all and being tired this didn’t help.

I found Woolworths and got milk and food for 2 dinners, I even got a load of apples 🙂 . I headed back put it away in the cupboards and decided an episode of The Big Bang Theory would cheer me up, it did.

Dinner was pasta, cheese and tomato with basil and garlic. If a little undercooked the pasta but fine to eat and filled me up. I then chilled in bed with a film before going to sleep around 9.30pm feeling shattered.
