Had a lovely day at Manly Beach. We set off from the hostel quite early to catch the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly so we had a full day on the beach, and i'm quite glad we did as it started to get cold about 3ish! So we found ourselves a nice wee spot and settled down for the day. Spent most of the day just sun bathing but after we had a late lunch, me and Harriett decided to try out the sea, it was freezing, pretty similar to Troon beach if am honest! Howeve...

So the past few days have been a mixture of looking for somewhere to live, trying to find a job, seeing new places and chilling out. So i've sat on Bondi Beach after looking at a flat in the area, which i think is mayb too far out of the city for me, watching all the surfers. I'm also in my second hostel now which is a lot nicer and cheaper which is also a bonus! Also got my nose pierced today and it looks really cool! I picked a star just because i thought it l...

Today we went for a cruise around Sydeny Harbour. We started our journey by walking to the harbour through the Botanic Gardens, which are beautiful.

Went to see the Blue Mountains today and it was a really long day. We left the hostel at 7.30am and didnt get back til 8pm! It was an interesting trip. Our tour guide was something else, totally wacky but harmless. To be honest i dont think i've ever heard one person know so many random facts, does make u wonder if its true or not! Oh and heres one i bet u never knew, Australia has the worlds only poisonous bird living here! So we stopped off at our first stop a...

So today was the start of my first attempt at surfing! Was so excited to be finally trying surfing! We drove to Palm Beach for our surfing lesson. This is also where they film Home and Away, but unfortunately we didnt see any people from the cast! So after donning our ever so sexy wet suits, we were ready for surfing! At this point I'd like to add that that surfing is not as easy or cool and effortless as it looks! The first few waves were quite cool, it was so...
