Hello!!! I'm back in the city... had a great time at Claire's, but she had a friend from home arriving today, so I've moved to the Railway Square YHA in the centre of Sydney (opposite the Wake Up hostel (which was full - as is everywhere in Sydney!)) - I'm sleeping in a railway carriage tonight! It's brilliant!! Hoping to be staying at a mate of a mate's flat from tomorrow though, so not too much hosteling for me - although I do love it! I...
