Hello again,

Here I am.. back in Sydney. My spirit is still trying to adjust, its so different here. I do miss Melbourne already. But theres no point sulking about it, this is the beginning of a new adventure for me.

The bus ride went faster than I thought. I slept really well for quite many hours and saw a glimpse of Canberra - and im glad I just went through, it didnt look that exciting. I arrived to the Sydney Central station about nine in the morning and I walked to circular quay, trying to suck in the sydney beat hehe.. Got on the ferry to Manly and found my way to Annas house. I was sweating so much, having to carry my heavy backpack with me.. and its only 30 degrees here, in melbourne the heat wave was getting worse just when i left. This week they have over 40 degrees everyday, so 30 feels really nice.

Annas housemate welcomed me to the house and then later I went out to the center of manly, and luckily I saw one old friend from when i was here the last time. Sam was about to leave to new zealand, so I was lucky to see him. Manly is still the same, small, nice beach town to live in. I had lunch at the wharf and went home to catch up on my diary and then Anna came home from work. It was crazy! We saw each other last time in Costa Rica. We went out to have dinner and then a few drinks. I sang some karaoke in steyne and the audience loved it. It was a great night, got to bed early.

Im going to be very touristic in sydney, so im going to see and do lots of stuff, rather than just hang out. Today im probably going to the city to see The Rocks and maybe go to Luna Park, finally!! See a couple of friends and then tonite we have a BBQ.

Hope you are all well, miss you.

Love, Liisa
