After our chill-out time in Fiji we landed full throttle in Sydney, staying at Wake-up hostel, a notorious 'party' place for the first few nights.
Our first night there we headed to meet Neil (yes Neil of South America fame - he keeps popping up in this story doesn't he) for a few drinks and a catch up in Surrey Hills - a cool, boho area of the city.
Our secret rendezvous was in 'prohibition bar' Shady Pines - an underground, Texas saloon where we downed a few 'tinnies' before heading back up the alley to embrace a street party which was the culmination of an exhibition showcasing street art around the city. Complete with DJ, drinks and arts 'dahlings,' we exchanged travel stories and Neil began his 'move to Sydney' campaign on us.
