Okay so the title is actually to trick you into thinking that this is a short blog about my last few days in Sydney. It's actually a 2 week catch up. Usually i put effort into making it seem interesting and slightly comical but i have so much to write down i'm just gonna basically list it for all you uber stalkers who want to know everything i did …

Ons vorige blog is weer een maandje geleden. Maartje en Tim zitten al in het vliegtuig (andere vluchten) en er moest maar even een tussenblogje geschreven worden.

Today is my 18th day away from home. Feels longer.

So today, the weather still wasn't great, but I'd decided I was going to Manly this afternoon no matter what. I started the day by going to the used bookshop up the road and buying two books. I then took a wander through the main strip of Kings Cross (I'm actually on the outskirts). This …

We caught the free bus (555) down George St to Circular Quay and walked down towards the Opera House. This walk also gave …

We arrived in Sydney, and caught the train to Kings Cross, before walking to our hostel down a tree lined street. We knew we were in good hands when the hostel told us that they had a $5 'All you can eat' barbecue on that evening.

The following day was Mardi Gras and we met up with the Huey's (the lovely Scottish couple we met in Bangkok) …

Today was great.  I went to the biggest IMAX screen in the world and saw The Dark Knight Rises.  It was amazing.  The movie was so large and the sound effects so absorbing.  It's the best movie theather i've ever been to.  From now on I'm flying to sydney every time an IMAX movie comes out that I want to see which happens …
