I have been in Sydney a week and a half now and have been having a really good time.
Tuesday I went over to Bondi which was really nice to see but really over hyped (i think anyway!) - It is just another beach!!
Every wednesday the hostel has a walking tour of the city which was really interesting and a great way to meet new people. We went to all the major landmark - Paddy's Market, China Town, Darling Harbour, Pitt Street Mall, Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Botanic Gardens, Anzac Memorial and back to the Side Bar for a drink (well deserved after the 4 hour walk!)
Thursday the hostel organised a trip up to Palm Beach (aka Summer Bay from Home and Away) which was really good fun. We tried surfing but it was a complete disaster but the volleyball games were much more successful!
Friday I moved out of the hostel for the weekend as they had no more space and over to Newtown to stay with friends - i twas really nice just to be able to hang around all day and not do very much!
Saturday we went over to Manly which was really nice (in my opinion better than Bondi.)
Tuesday had a proper sufing lesson over in Manly which again wasn't so successful but a real laugh and was nice to relax on the beach all day (not that I have been doing much else for the last month and a half!) The ferry ride home was amazing as we managed to catch sunset over the city.
Wednesday was really nice to catch up with Molly and have a picnic in the beautiful botanic gardens with amazing views over the harbour.
Off to Melbourne next and then I will decide what to do for the next month 'til I fly to Auckland (if you didn't know I have now extended my trip by a month so I won't be home until September :) )
hope you are all well
lots of love
