Sydney - Round 1

So after leaving Byron, we continued on our journey to Sydney. We were rushing to get there as the Ryder cup was on and we needed a 24 hour venue so that we could see the games. We must have picked up about 20 speeding tickets on the way down between myself and Roisin driving. We arrived in Sydney without accommodation. We didn’t really think it would be difficult to get some but we had to try a few places before we got somewhere to stay. We stayed in Base backpackers. It was a pretty decent hostel, and the most appreciated thing again was the fact that they had lockers for our bags so we didn’t have to worry about leaving our stuff in the room.

We headed out that night and went to Scruffy Murphy’s. It was a 24 hour Irish Bar but they had a live band on there so it wasn’t the best place to watch the golf. We went across the road to Cheers which was also open till 6am and we watched the golf in there. I was pretty wrecked so I didn’t stay till the end. Jay and Roisin watched the whole lot until 6am.
