The last two crazy Saturdays:

Ok, so Saturday is my day off, so it is always an adventure! :)

Saturday the 12th of March:
This begins pretty normal day, cleaning the house and chilling, but then I am going to a friend's 21st birthday party! So 21st parties are huge here...they have themes, speeches, the works. This friend, Bek, had a theme of Latino, so I am wandering everywhere to find bright colored clothes and find nothing. But then, I see my roommates body board/boogie board bag which is definitely bright colors and think that I can wear it as a skirt....

So yeah, it was a great party, but then the adventure starts....I am driving my roommates car back to my house and end up taking a wrong turn in Sydney (Not something you want to do)! Anyways, I am with another American exchange student Dinnah and we pull over because we are lost. I am calling friends and trying to find the way back home, but a car pulls up next to us....I look over and it is a cop car. I roll down my window and the cop says "Oh if I got in your car how much would it cost to go to this suburb?" I am completely confused and he keeps joking and begins to ask, "Oh, you aren't a taxi? I thought you were a taxi?" I realize I had pulled off in a taxi only lane. Anyways, the police tell us how to get home, but it was definitely an adventure! :) First cop experience escaped with no ticket! :) haha....we made it home and it was all good! :)


Second Saturday: The 19th of March:

This Saturday was a little more epic! A few of us decided we really wanted to go for a hike even though it was downpouring rain! :) We went to Royal National Park which is absolutely beautiful, but this day it was just crazy. We finally make it to the park in the downpour of rain and get out and begin hiking....we soon realize that leeches are literally attacking us! :) There are hundreds everywhere...every step you take you got new leeches attached to your shoes. We continue on the track for maybe a kilometer and eventually just ran out of the forest. We got out and had so many leeches all over the four of us! It was definitely an experience! And as I am sitting in the car, I turn my head and about a foot from my face, there is no joke a massive spider....it was atleast 4 inches in diameter! I learned that they are huntsman spiders and are harmless. Good to know! :) Anyways, it was a crazy adventure, but definitely memorable! :)

So yeah, that is my adventures of Saturdays...lots of memories, lots of fun!
