Road Trip: Day Five - Friday

I'm back. I'm sorry!!!

Jess & I woke up for our 10 a.m. check out. We were feeling kind of rough.. the night before was a LOT of fun. We checked out and headed out for Bondi Beach - a beach just North of Sydney. We were really excited because we always watch the show "Bondi Rescue" here and it shows all the stunningly gorgeous lifeguards saving people everyday.

Not going to lie, we contemplated getting stuck in the water so we could be rescued. We didn't. But we seriously thought about it.

So we drove out of Sydney into Bondi. We found a parking spot a couple blocks away from the beach. It's so big!!! We didn't pay for parking because we're bad.. no ticket at the end of the day though! Bad girls.

Bondi is beautiful. We had a perfect sunny day too. We didn't have our "free breakfast" at the hostel so we decided to go to a cafe along the beach. It was called Lush and we had AMAZING chicken burgers and sundaes. We ordered banana and mango smoothies, and while we were enjoying them in the sun, the waitress brought us out 2 more because she didn't know they had already been made! LOL We were so full it was ridiculous!!!

After we ate we decided to lie on the beach.. hahahaha I'm telling Jess I'm writing about our lunch and she just said "I will NEVER be that full again in my life!!!" hahahaha! Sorry, I had to share that.

We actually passed out on the beach. Not dozed out.. we passed out.. and got sunburned. We're amazing.

We woke up and saw that it was getting later (it was around 3ish by now) and we decided to start driving to Hunter Valley. It's about a 2 hour drive to Hunter Valley and such a beautiful drive. Jess drove there and I would drive home after H.V.

We stunk. We stunk like beach, fruit smoothies, sweat, alcohol, and amazing-ness. We laughed a lot this day.

We got to our favourite winery, Lindemans, right before 5 p.m. .. and what time does the place close? 5 p.m. Wonderful. We drove around the valley looking for wineries that were open, but no such luck. We went to an info station and picked up a Hunter Valley guide and saw that a winery was still open to purchase wine and have dinner. We went there and bought some white wine that said Hunter Valley on it so we would always remember. We're hilarious.

The drive home was long. Our arrival time back home was 3:30 a.m. and we had to have the car back at the rental place by 8 a.m. .. I was SO tired.

It was such an amazing trip though. Ups & downs, laughs & tears, I had a blast. I love Sydney!
