Wow, today was awesome! First of all we checked out of our hostel (Footprints) and checked into another (Sydney Backpackers) coz the bargain hunter among us (Izz!) found a good deal... 2 nights at really good hostel with our own room, free ferry trip to Manly and free all day trip to the Blue Mountains - all for $99; we were very happy bunnies. Anyway, so after checking in we went to Sydney Aquarium which was amazing. We saw lots and lots of amazing fish; royal b...

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSIE!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A BRILL DAY!!! LOTS OF LOVE!!! Today was a fab day.
