February 1st - The alarm came fast but was necessary as the weather said it was going to reach 104 by mid-day. We took to the trails and chose the Scenic World to Three Sisters trail that was a four-hour hike. We walked through narrow trails with steep cliffs only a few feet to our right and gorgeous Tea Trees to our left. The trail took us under a waterfall and gave us panoramic views of the entire valley. Once we finished on the trails the sun was in full force and the temperature was already close to 90 degrees, our plan of an early hike was certainly worth the early wake up.
We took the 12:20 train back to Sydney where Kirk Neill (Shoutout to Kyle Brodsky for introducing me to him) picked us up and took us to his apartment in North Sydney where we crashed for the next few days. We grabbed some beers and headed to Balmoral Beach with Kirk and his mate Ben for an afternoon dip and some sun. We arrived back at the apartment and met the rest of Kirk's roommates; David, Ryan and Matty. Ben's girlfriend Erin who had just graduated was there as well and I was chatting with her about her major. She informed me about this guy Jeff Nelson who was her lab partner a few semesters back from the states. I guess she did all the work while he just sat around eating tomato fried rice. Just playing my man. The group headed to Wooly's barefoot (didn't really wear thongs/flip flops much) to pick up the supplies for Aussie chicken burritos and a case of Pure Blonde beer.
