Current Mood: Tired

Well actually it gets down to minus 15 degrees, but that’s where we went last night with a few friends of ours from Horsham who we met up with here in Sydney.

Em and I went out on our own yesterday to have a chilled day doing nothing apart from relaxing and meeting a friend of ours (Laurie) from Horsham.  We met her at one of Sydneys big outdoor screens where the Cricket is being shown and after a catch up drink and a chat we decided that last night we would go to Minus 5 – this is a bar where everything is made of ice, including the bar, glasses, walls, seats, tables etc etc… 

We met them at 8pm and went into Minus 5, really nice place where you get 30 minutes to chill (literally) in this bar.  Any longer and I imagine you would get uncomfortable as even with gloves my hands started to go numb at the end.  It’s part of a bar called Lenin’s which is a vodka bar, so the choice of drinks you get in Minus5 all revolve around vodka – I had something called a Frostbite and then one called a Husky – which after drinking it I can see why, it was made of Absolut Pepper Vodka, Absolut Lychee Vodka, Ginger, Lemon and a load of other bits and bobs – it certainly warmed the pallet!

After leaving the bar we decided that Karioke would be a good idea so hit a place called RedBox – with 14 People we got our own room and for two hours blurted out such songs as “Hotel California”, “All That She Wants” and “Delilah”!.  A good crack indeed…

At 2:30am this morning we said goodbye to Loz, Big Ginge, Nat and Becs to make our way back to the hostel – the girls were visiting the Blue Mountains today so hopefully they aren’t too tired.  We may catch up with them again in Melbourne, but for now it’s just time to chill and conserve pennies.
