R.I.P Iphone

We left Newcastle to go to Sydney so freaking early. 8 am! I know, I know, its better to wake up early, but man, I'm just not a morning person. I spent most of the train ride sleeping. I wanted to see Angel(a) and buy "Asian" groceries. She lives in Chinatown, and everyone knows groceries are almost always cheaper in Chinatown.

We ate Korean BBQ for lunch. Yum! I was craving that for a while. After, Angela took us to shopping. We were so tired we had to drag ourselves back to Angel(a)'s place and just sat around watching the U.S. Open, waiting for the fireworks at 8:30, which happens every Saturday at Darling Harbour. Then we went on a ferry ride from Darling Harbour to Sydney Harbour, just for fun!

It was B-E-A-U-tiful!

Everyone else left after and I stayed the night. The next day, Angel(a) and I went to Bondi Beach. Apparently there was something going on there, the Festival of Winds. There was a whole section just for kites, the wind was crazy. We sat around watching the surfers doing their thing! Ahh! They're soooo sexy!

Then we decided to find the markets because they're only there on Sundays. So I told Angel(a) it would  be better to walk along the shore because there were so many people and walking through the sand would take forever.

However... the wind was crazy strong... making the waves crazy strong... and I saw a wave push Angel(a) down and take one of her flip flops away... I was laughing so hard but in my head, I knew that I was next because I wasn't too far behind her and I could feel the wave push me and I fell in slow motion... The waved pushed me so that I fell backwards while I had ALL MY STUFF with me because the plan was to leave Sydney to Newcastle from Bondi Station. Since I was laughing so hard, I couldn't get up quick enough and I felt a huge wave envelope me overhead... All I could hear at that point was laughter from everyone else around because of the festival. We were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. We ended up trying to clean up the massive amount of sand that was on us and decided to just go back to her place to clean up. Oh man.

As funny as it was, the saltwater fucked up my camera, Ipod, and Iphone. My brother found that camera awhile ago, and my cousin bought me another camera, so I didn't care much for that, and my Ipod had a case, so there wasn't that much damage. BUT! My Iphone, that I've had for three years is gone. Its dead. Now I don't have a phone! :(
