Bit late Coming.






This is a little late, but I thought I'd post the photos any ways.
I apologise for the length of my skirt in the first one, it had just ridden up a bit :S.

A few weeks ago, 27ish of February, I escaped my lazy town to skip down to Mardi Gras with a few lovely friends :)
Achieved: 20 hours of travelling down in two days, hundreds of thousands of people at the parade, tens of kilometres walked and possibly the sight of one too many naked people :)

The bus to Newcastle took about 5 hours I swear. By the time we'd gotten to Newcastle I was sooo sick of traveling haha.
The parade is fun :)
Hopefully next year I can get a masquerade mask to wear so I don't make it on tv and get onto a float ;)

Would have been nice to be 18.
Friend with contacts had free passes to get into the after party. Felt so stupid and lame that I was the reason they all couldn't get in, as I'm not 18 and legal yet. Gahhh :'(

Catching up with Harley was loveeeeeeely as was his view :).

About 2 hours of sleep later, we had to travel the whole way back home via train. And of all silly things to happen there was a bomb scare, someone had written under a curtain on our carriage, 'there is a bomb on this train, Run for your lives.' Of course they took it very seriously and stopped the train at the next station at Stratfield.

So they evacuated us all out of the carriage, and placed us onto the platform. Then they made us move to the other side of the platform so we were hidden behind the offices. After a tiny bit they moved us to the next platform and then down a level and then they completely evacuated the whole place.
They brought in two different bomb squads,and sniffer dogs, and wouldn't let us back onto the train without two special event cops questioning about what we'd seen that day.
Biggest waste of time.
All we wanted to do was sleep, and didn't really care all too much if we got blown up in the process..



Best weekend I've had in ages :D
