Moving the backpacks to Bondi Beach
Big problem today! All the backpackers in town were booked out and nobody could offer us a bed for the night. Desperately we called a place at Bondi Beach and after begging a while they offered us a room, even though they had no time to clean it for us. Well, it was definitely better than sleeping on the beach, so we agreed to take the room anyway. While I was walking up and down the Espanade in the evening, I saw a notice at New Zealand Natural. They were looking for people to sell ice cream in the shop. I applied for the job and started working the following day.

How to make lots of money in a short time
To cut a long story short, this is what I did in Sydney during my stay: in total I worked six weeks at Bondi Beach, sometimes non-stop, because after one and a half weeks I started a second job at Bondi Beach Cafe. At the beginning I moved into a flat very close to the beach with three of my work colleges (Sarah, Mark und Sue - all from Malta) and the last ten days I shared a flat with three POMs (James, Nicky und David). For the weekend Simon, Phil and I went on a day trip to the Blue Mountains before the two of them left Sydney to start a job on a farm in Wagga-Wagga.
During my time in Sydney I ...
- tried to surf
- did heaps of sightseeing
- got to know a lot of people
- finally earned some money
- had a lot of fun!
