After all this time I have spent in Sydney I realised I never really told you what I was getting up to when I didn't have to work... Well first of all when staurday morning arrives... I don't mind staying in bed a bit longer and getting a little bit more than my weekly 6 hours sleep. I then go for breakfast without having to worry to wash everybody s dishes and only at that time I realise it is time to relax.
Last weekend I switched my friday night shift to sunday night and headed out with my workmates, after all those time I have turned their invitation down it was finally about time I showed them I am up for a bit of partying too. So we headed to Oxford steet (I also call it rainbow street) for a happy hour drink, the schooners (a tiny bit smaller than pints) for $2.5 and shots for $5. We spent a great night ending up in some random party in Surry Hills which was so different from the made in Dublin parties (maybe we were just at a wrong party) lol.
The following day I did what I love most since I started this trip and went to Paddington to discover the so heard about Paddington Market. This lovely market, full of home made clothes or handicrafts is the home to originality. From jewelery, to fairy lights passing by Palm Reading this boho style market would easily satisfy every woman in the world. Sometimes I wish I wasnt a backpacker and could afford all those beautiful things, well I can afford them but my backpack cant carry them around the world :D
Paddington is a neighborhood (I forgot how to spell this word woops) very near from where I am living now... it smells of nice food - I bought a strawberry covered with chocolate (iced) for $1.50, my 2 favorite things in the world reunited in 1: Heaven!, expensive and trendy clothes, fashion... It s the kind of place I would easily see myself living in, full of little eateries, cosie shops and so much vintage stuff... No high building only 3 storey houses around!
After my little tour around the market... I didnt buy anything but managed to get free seaweed for my sushis!
Finally back at the hostel I sat in The Tv Room for a while and went off to rent a few dvds for the night and ended up watching 3 movies in a row... Finally this hostel has such a big homy feeling, now it's winter we don't get as many 1 night people and most of the people here have been for more than a week so it s like a very big family...
Sunday comes and the sun is still shining :D My wisdom tooth (bottom right) is hurting today not so much of a good sign so I staied in the hostel read and took a sunbath until 3PM... Pizza time at Hugo's Bar Pizza.
That was a tip I got off Micheal when I first arrived in Sydney... Half price pizza from 3 to 5pm I have since been there hmmm too many times I guess lol
But for sure among the best pizza I have ever tried!
Followed with a few beers at O'Malleys it is time to return to the hostel and start my night shift...
So Here I am, Tuesday night, about get my wisdom tooth removed on Thursday and I am not feeling very comfortable about this, after a funky experience I have had younger when I had to get a top tooth removed and my beloved dentist had to give me anesthetic about 10 times and it ended up in numbing my tongue more than my tooth..
I have had to reschedule a little my travel plans as I have to be in Sydney on Monday to get my stitches out so I will be leaving for Melbourne on Tuesday night and start my trip un to Melbourne on Saturday morning...
