Today I met up with Ella and we decided to head out to Manly which is a short ferry ride across from Sydney; an American girl called Clare came with us aswell. When we got to manly we bought some sandwiches and then looked for a taxi to take us to the north head of manly so we could look out to Sydney. Tourist information told us that the taxi should cost about $10 but the first taxi we asked said it would be about $14 so we asked another taxi guy who said they...

They had some really interesting pieces but some of it was just way too bizarre for me and ...

I'm not even sure I really like opera but it's definitely something to cross off my bucket list and if you're gonna see an opera anyway it should definitely be here I figure!!! So me, Edo and a girl called Ella who we met yesterday have booked tickets to see 'the Pearlfishers' tonight!! Until then; myself, Edo and a German guy called Tim went on the coastal walk to the opera house. You walk through...
