What a time, what a time. I’m here at Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel for almost two months already and I decided I love Melbourne, Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel, Australia and doing tours! (and all the things I forgot to wrote down). I also decided to go brown instead of blonde. Brunettes have more fun? Yes, read below!

Because I don’t want to get lazy and want to discover everything around and in Melbourne I try to go on a tour every two weeks when I’m here at Nomads Industry Backpackers. Last week I did the Philip island tour. The great ocean road tour that I did before was great and so was the Philip island tour. Seeing all those animals that are normally in the zoo in Holland without a fence was really great. It was funny though that I was allowed to feed the kangaroo but I wasn’t allowed to feed the goat. Strange dutchies as we are, feeding goats all the time.

First we went to a winery, I felt a bit out of place there. Everyone was tasting the wine as they were professional wine tasters. But we were just drinking the wine (wine is to drink, that’s what we thought). After the great wine experience up to Maru wildlife centre. Seeing all the Australian animals was cool. The first time I saw all these they were dead already in the Melbourne museum. Marlou and Anne took care of the feeding part of the tour, they fed all the animals while I was making pretty pictures and being careful not to get attacked.

After all of the antipasti (and the pizza) we went to the Nobbies. When we arrived at the Nobbies, the wind almost blew us away. It was a nice view though, the Nobbies and the rough sea getting to each other. After the Nobbies (the main dish) up to a cold cold dessert, the penguin parade. It already started raining and we didn’t brought a rain coat (we are in Australia?). It was touristic but that didn’t mattered.

The penguin parade was a cold, fun, cold and unforgettable experience. When in your life you are watching penguins heading back to their homes out of the sea? Exactly that’s why it was so special. We weren’t aloud to make pictures, because it damages the penguins eyes and I think the experience is away then. You have to check it our yourself and see the penguins hopping on land group by group. Visit Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel, Melbourne and jump on this tour, Adorable!

Cheers!

It was yet again another great day in Sydney and an even better day to be having a free beach BBQ! It was a record 31 degrees and the perfect setting for a free beach BBQ with our two Sydney Backpackers Hostels, Westend Backpackers and Maze Backpackers.

There are many free activities hosted throughout the week. Westend backpackers hostel is one of the cheapest youth hostels in Sydneys central business district.

It was a wonderful Saturday on the beach and an even better night at the Gaff. The Gaff’s second annual white party was a huge success!!! It was the simplest of themes and worked out really well. When the lights went off and the black lights came on it was a sight to remember!

The party lasted until the early hours in the morning and when some of the Sydney Backpackers left, the sun was out high in the sky. It is lucky that we had an angel with us to make sure we all made it back to our youh hostels safely. Yet again another successful fancy dress theme party at Westend Backpackers Sydney!

Well hello extremely loyal readers… We felt as though our Sydney Backpackers were getting bored, so youth hostel staff at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel and Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel decided to throw a Spandex party…

The posters were all over Nomads Maze Hostel and read, SPANDEX PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT - Free Wine for an hour at 8pm and two for one drinks at the bar! The tighter and brighter, the better! SPANDEX- THE ART OF LOOKING GOOD WHILST WEARING THE TIGHTEST CLOTHES POSSIBLE!!

So we were fairly merry, to say the least, especially as The Maze Backpackers drank 45 litres!!!! Here are some of the most ridiculous pictures from the night, and i think you’ll find that the pictures tell their own story!!!

A Smurfing good time was had by all the backpackers at Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, Sydney the other night. This Sydney Youth Hostel is one of the premiere hostels in Sydney throwing the best fancy dressed theme nights.

The theme this time was SMURFS and with free wine and with free blue body paint everyone was up for getting painted and having a great time… There were a bunch of Smurfs that wandered down to The Gaff from Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, showing their true colours. A smurfing great time was had by all the smurfs, with some of the naughty backpackers not getting back until the sun was once again shining high in the sky..

Theme nights are a regular thing here at this centrally located Sydney backpackers hostel. So if you want to find out more email Nomads Westend or stay tuned for the Ms Westend Competition which will feature all the guys in drag competing for the bragging rights and the title of Ms. Westend.
