Round The World

We had booked a night for us in Base Backpackers again, we had our own room as there was originally supposed to be the four of us. We contacted the lads in Coogee the next day, again to see if we could crash with them for a few nights until we got some accommodation and they let us no problem. The three of us managed to crash there, and then went looking for accommodation. It was not going to be easy to find as a lot of people who were going to be in Sydney for Christmas, were already there and settled in their accommodation.

By a stroke of luck after 3 days of looking, we got a number from someone and he had a twin and single room available so we went to meet him straight away. When we got there, he told us it was a mistake and the rooms were not available but that he had a twin room available somewhere else if we wanted to have a look at it. We did, and when we got there, it was lovely. The room itself was pretty small but the apartment was really nice, on the top floor with a nice balcony. The living area was huge, much better than what we had in St. Kilda so we took it. Unfortunately that meant Jimmy was still homeless but we knew at this point that we wouldn’t be able to get somewhere for us all to live.

Within a few more days, Jimmy had found a room in a house with 4 Irish girls and another Irish lad. He was going to have his own room so we were all sorted.
