Cronulla (South Sydney)

Thursday, Feb 2nd
I met up with Kristy, the Lifestylist from the ship, for lunch near Town Hall in Sydney.  Her contract ceased at the end of our cruise, so we figured we would tour Australia a bit together.  I start nannying March 1st.  Unfortunately, it was raining, so we decided to shop and go on a pubcrawl.  After we bought some cute clothes from LuLuLemon and shared our life stories, we went back to her place.  She was staying with a friend, Steve.  We had a chill night and talked more over some wine.  Steve was so great, because he let me hang out with them for a couple days.  He showed us all the cool places to go.

Friday, Feb 3rd
We had lunch with Steve in Cronulla, a small town in South Sydney.  Then we went to a Rugby league game that evening. 


I had a meat pie for dinner (an Aussie delicacy).  We ate, drank and were merry.  We met some cute guys and rugby players afterwards at the Sharkies Club.  The Sharks are the regional team of Cronulla.  Everyone calls them the Sharkies.  I’m a tried and true fan now.  Rugby is a bit confusing, but essentially, they have to pass the ball backwards.  It goes on continuously, as opposed to football, so there are no downs.  If they stop the ball, they have scrums, where they huddle up and start the ball again.  They don’t wear any pads, so it’s all MAN.  I like rugby.
