Sydney: Welsh invade Balmain

Posted by daveb on April 20th, 2009

After a couple of downright miserable nights in a very wet national park some way outside Sydney and a further night in a self-proclaimed “International Guest House” my friends Andrew and Mel arrived back from their holidays to their flat in Balmain, just a fifteen minute bus ride from the Central Business District. Hot on their heels where a couple of desperate, ageing backpackers (that’s us) looking for a catch-up and a bit of good old hospitality!

With the addition of another University pal, Katie, the Welsh outnumbered the non-Welsh three-to-two. We celebrated by playing “Taff Wars” on YouTube (warning: hilarious, but containing very rude language), drinking copious amounts of booze and staying up late playing the electronic finger drums. So good was the party, that Squiffy consumed not one, but two alcoholic beverages in one evening — which is certainly a record since I’ve known her.

Thanks so much to Andrew, Mel and Katie for the hospitality and fun — missing you guys and gals already!

Taffies unite!! Yay! I remember Andrew & Katie – lovely to see them pix of them all grown up. I know Balmain too – that’s where I stayed with Steph when I visited Sydney.

So jealous – it’s probably my favourite city in the world. Ahh, the memories…

All good here. Emily was here last week and we went diving over in Fuj. Swam with my first ever turtle!!

Much love and we must do that Skype sometime.
