At Nomads Capital Backpackers in Wellington we held our very first Tattoo Contest. Some of the exciting entries we received can be seen below. We had some very little entries right up to large ones. The grand prize winner was Melissa Cameron from Canada with her Willow Tree tribute to her Grandma. Melissa won a free nights backpacker accommodation in Wellington at Nomads Capital.

Grand Prize!

Don’t forget that next Friday 31 October at Nomads Capital Backpackers is our much anticipated Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloween Party! Drink deals and crazy costumes are guaranteed all night long! Hosted by yours truly and Mc Cam it’s sure to be an Astounding night at Blend Bar, Nomads Capital’s hostel bar! Get your costumes ready quick …Time is Fleeting!

Because it was Bobby’s birthday there was a big eating pie contest at Nomads Industry backpackers hostel in Melbourne. I know it doesn’t sounds logical, having a pie contest on your birthday but it was great fun. Who can say: ‘I got a pie contest on my birthday’?

The 2 important rules: the person who eats the most pie wins the money, first one out has to scull a litre of milk. Mark is the big pie master from Industry Backpackers now on, beating everyone with an impressive amount of 24 pies. His legendary words were: ‘I could have eaten more’. Charlie our cooking star was not a star at sculling his litre of milk. His legendary words didn’t make it. (see pictures below).

Cheers

The old Entertainment Managers reunite at one of the “HOTTEST” nights that Maze Backpackers Hostel Sydney has to offer!!

It was all about the entertainment guys on friday night at this Nomads Hostel…… with the old entertainment guy, Paul MacNamara,  returning to his long lost friend and partner in crime Matthew Polowyk (entertainment manager) of Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel!! 

The friendly staff and backpackers of Sydney Youth Hostels The Maze and Nomads Westend also happened to be celebrating the 4th of July…. although some of the backpackers happened to be doing it in their own ’special’ ways.

Toga seemed to be the main theme at the youth hostels on Pitt Street with many of the backpackers adorning their bedsheets and strutting from the hostel, heads held high following Paul and Matt who were dressed rather less respectably than the rest of the Nomads Hostel backpackers…

With Matt, the Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel entertainer flaunting himself dressed as the naked cowboy, who runs around New York City with just a guitar, and Paul The Maze backpackers hostels entertainer mixing it up as a white Apollo Creed(Rocky 1, 2 + 3) FACT!! 

The night was a fantastic party although it was just a warm up for the upcoming spandex party…!! Organised by these two Sydney Backpackers Hostels and to be held at Scubar!! Its all about the spandex baby!!!

Well all the Sydney backpackers down here at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel have been warned they must be on their best behavior this month as we get ready to play our important role as the whole World looks on and Sydney comes to a standstill to Host World Youth Day 2008.

World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest youth event in the world and will be held in Sydney from Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 July 2008. The Catholic church says it is close to achieving its pilgrims target for World Youth Day with 197,000 local and overseas Catholic youths headed for Sydney to see the Pope.

Backpackers and party people do not have to worry as we have kept a number of beds for our usual guests who are wanting to party it up at the Sydneys famous Maze Backpackers Hostel.

Please be aware that due to the busy period Sydney backpackers are warned to ensure that they pre-book and pay for all accommodation at Nomads Maze Backpackers for the month of July, so if your planning either to join in the festivities in town perhaps go and try your luck for a photo with Pope Benedict XVI or just to party it up with us at our youth hostel, please remember to plan ahead.

From all of us here at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel we hope you have a wonderful day and hope to see you soon!!
