Alright so I believe I left off at Tuesday....On that day what did I do? Oh Yes I stayed in Saint Ives. Woke up and went on my usual run but decided to take a different route and go check out a little National Park down the road. It is called Garigal National Park, very green area and peacefully. Walked the trail a little bit then just stopped on sat on a rock and listened to the trees and birds. Came home and just organized some stuff, then later that night I met up with Rihanne and we went to Newtown area to a comedy show. It was just a small open mic night, but had a few funny people performing. Slept at my cousins house that night since I was close by and then woke up Wednesday morning and went to Coogee beach. My plan was to actually go to Clovelly beach BUT...I got on the right bus but just going in the wrong direction....SO. Had to ride that bus back to where I started from and go 30 minutes in the right direction. When I got to Coogee it was about a 20 minutes walk to Clovelly, which is really good for snorkeling (that's the only reason I was going), I was irritated and tired so just ended up staying on Coogee. I believe it is near Bondi...maybe if Cassie and I had walked all the way to Bronte beach that one day we might have been close to it. The beach was nice, but got a little cloudy in 2 hours or so. That was my cue to leave so I packed up and head to the buses, making sure I got on the right one and right direction this time. Asking questions is that best way to go! Before I say what I did that night I need to take a few steps back and explain something.
Either Monday night or Tuesday I can't remember, I was bored so I decided to download Tinder (that social/dating site). Started picking who I would like to meet and what not, and got a few messages from some fellas. One guy was James, and there were others but James is the one you need to remember. So know that I have explained I can proceed with my evening plans!
I have heard Bondi Beach is a very vibey place on a Wednesday, but no one would go with me (and I'm a little brave but not brave enough to go to a bar by myself!) So I think hey James said he'd liked to meet up if I wanted and he could show me around...Perfect! So sent a little texty text and BOOM I got a date...Now most people would be a little skeptical, in a new place and going to meet up with a random guy...my thoughts YOLO! My aunt and uncle were very nervous but I gave them his Full name and number so hopefully that eased their thoughts (probably not). James was very nice and offered to come pick me up from Saint Ives, he lives in Bondi (that's a good 30 min drive). First a little more info on James: He was born in England, moved to Aussie for work 10 years ago, works for a big bank in Aussie and does their IT stuff, owes a 2 bedroom condo in Bondi, does pretty well for himself seeing so a condo in Bondi is crazy expensive and has a cute little BWM, and lastly he is 35. Only 9 years older than me so not too bad! Plus I think he kinda hads a little Luke Bryan look going on. Ok and back to the evening, he picked me up in St. Ives and we go back to Bondi. Eat dinner at an awesome Thai Place called Rice Pot and then went down the street to a quiet bar for a drink. It was rainy so all the big places in Bondi that are usually packed on Wednesday were not so packed. At dinner and drinks we talked about everything: family, hobbies, pets and all other animals. Had some good laughs and it was a very enjoyable evening. Before taking me back to St Ives we drove to this little look out spot where you can see North Sydney, the bridge and the Opera House. It was Gorgeous! Literally like a postcard view. That was the end of the date, got returned to St Ives in one piece and went to bed. Might see him again, we talked about it but I think he is super bummed I'm leaving in a Month so we will see. If he asks me out again I will definitely say yes!
The rain stuck around the next day so I just went to darling harbor and walked around, they have a Margaritaville! Of course I had to stop and lucky for me it was happy hour. Hello $10 watermelon marg! After that I came back home and then went to eat sushi with my aunt and uncle for dinner.
This weekend I'm going to a music festival with my cousin and his friends, Its 3.5 hours south of Syndey in Canberra. Basically you go and camp out, plant trees, listen to music and have a good old time. You can read more about it on the website (http://www.re-gen.org.au/about).
