Most used phrase from the trip betting just in...
"It's like a scene from the wire" (no offers)
All other phrases (100/1)
To an extent it was like The Wire, save the two naive white tossers (mostly me) shitting themselves at the first sign of being asked for change. Still down Ellis Steet we strode after all it couldn't be too far could it?
"Well the hostel is number 649, what number is that there?"
"113"
"Bugger"
The friendly staff kindly informed us that it was probably best not to approach the hostel from the direction we did, we thanked them for the advice and left to promptly change our underwear (and it had been 3 days).
After that we were the consummate professional tourists, our confidence in ourselves only exceeded by a local back street clothes operation. (see image)
Soon we made our drinking debut of the tour, a swift one each costing a tidy $18 meant we didn't stay for long.
A little stroll through the financial district, the port and dinner in Chinatown (set menu 6 out of 10) left us quite frankly exhausted and unable to give it the full effort. We watched the conclusion of the All Star Game in another Irish bar but again dropped the shoulder after the first.
Early night and ready to meet our first couch surfing host tomorrow...
Is this a sex parlour disguised as a dry cleaners!? ;)
