The first thing I noticed on return to this, the nation's premier city, was how bloody expensive everything is. We are staying at Manly Beach, a very trendy suburb for backpackers, which is a ferry ride across Sydney harbour from the city centre. And it's seven bucks each way!! Though this might sound like peanuts to those still living up the luxury life of London, it's a fortune in Australia terms and a far cry from what I've been used to over the past 9 months of travelling around the country known for being "cheap as chips"!
The plan from now is to go to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days on Wednesday, then back, check out Bondi & Coogee beaches, meet up with Cat & some other friends who are here, and then high-tail it down to Melbourne, where I guess I'll live out the rest of my days in Oz. 69 and counting!
