We arrived in Sydney this afternoon. We had a 3 hour journey from Auckland which went pretty fast. Forgot to mention that I went windsurfing in Auckland which was a great experience! It was hard work but I managed to windsurf out turn and windsurf back! I was dead impressed... Ached the next day though! Sydney so far is amazing as we were flying in you could just see the beautiful beaches and blue sea. It really is gorgeous here. We are staying in Kings Cross at Maze backpackers. Inside is literally like a maze so it's quite fun to walk around. Is a busy place with all the mod-cons, looks like we'll enjoy it here. Looking for a job now though you have to get a card here to work behind a bar...And you have to pay $85 to get it! Its a 7 hour course so one day of my time in Sydney has already been taken up!
