last couple of days in OZ

its been a whyle since i have last blogged about my trip but...ill get to that in a min. its not like people read this thing anyway. i went back to manly to get some swordfish asked kathryn if she wouldnt mind to join me, but she had a busy day at work so i went anyway. the swordfish was great, too bad i didnt have a chance to eat it all outside. the wind really picked up and i had to go inside. mind you i didnt want to but the people that worked there told me i had better do so. the wind was knocking over umbrellas.

the next day i had some money to spend. i think it was about 200 bucks and i didnt want to get it converted back to canadian, so i wanted to spend some money. i saw this thing for a whale watching tour. i got down to the harbor again where the opera house is. i talked to someone down there that asked me to go over where he was. he said that its one of his flyers and that the whales are not going to be out till mid may. so that was a little disappointing.  i went on another tour around the harbor. then i found the other ice bar and i must say that i was a little disappointed. for 30 bucks( i saved 10 for going on that boat ride with kathryn) you get 30 min and you get a free drink. the bar had ice sculptures that was cool and the glasses are made of ice, but its only one room and when i got there most of the sculptures had been either broken or some was melted from people touching it. so when i got in there was 2 other people from i cant remember where and the bar tender was from norway. the other 2 people in there was cold and didnt even last the 30 min. i think they were in there for about 10 min and it was too cold for them. i talked to the bar tender and i said i was from canada, the other 2 told me that " so this is basically your backyard then" i just laughed and said pretty much. they had their jacked all zipped up and trying to stay warm but i was just talking with it unzipped. before my time was up i ordered another drink. the little buzzer thing went off so i had 5 min remaining. but when i got my drink i tipped the bartender 5 bucks so he told the people at the desk to turn off my buzzer and i could stay there until i finished my drink. i asked my brazilian friends if they wanted tos go for a drink that night around the corner at scruffy Murphy's. DRAG QUEEN KARAOKE  was something to see i guess. after spending my money i was given more drinks from junior. that night was the first night i ended up getting drunk. i threw up 2 times and i was surprised that i didnt throw up on the shuttle bus to the airport. when i got there i was fine and got on the plane and went home.

the whole time i was wondering if i was too late to see my grandmother before she died. the whole time i was thinking if we can go faster so i can get there on time. so when i got home my sis asked me if i wanted to see my grandmother and that she thought that i should. i spent a couple of hours before i was tired and told her good night. those where the last words i spoke to her. she died that night. but at least she stayed alive untill i got home. this i was told was about a week and a half she lasted. ill blog more later on my cuz's trip down here and my new luck with lavalife and plenty of fish and of olga from russia that coming down here to work and wants to meet me from lava life. here is a pic of me and the Brazilians.
