G'day mates. We arrived at six this morning after a good flight from Bangkok to Sydney. Just to put your mind at ease, we were no where near the bombs, well nearer than you were, but still not that close. We checked into our hostel this morning which seems pretty cool, although it is a little weird to be sharing a room with nine other people! We have already seen the big tourist attractions, the opera house and the bridge. Both were pretty cool.
In general, Sydney is a pretty good city. It is really clean (especially compared to Bangkok), and there are loads of really good shops here. Im sure it would seem even better if I had slept last night but it was impossible. The food here is expensive however, we did manage to find a cheap supermarket and I managed to buy enough pasta, bread and cheese to last me for a few days, for about a fiver. We are actually eleven hours ahead of British time, which I found very confusing, considering every source I researched prior to coming said ten. It was about thirty degrees this afternoon but it is now raining! It's warm rain though so it's not so bad. We are here in Sydney until Sunday morning when we join our oz experience bus and head straight to surf camp. So far we have planned to go to Bondi beach and the blue mountains tomorrow, both of which im looking forward to!
Im excited about seeing the house when it's all done, does it look good? I have already done a quarter of my trip. I think that seems pretty weird, however, I cant work out whether I feel like I have been here forever, or only a few days, if that makes any sense?! Good to here from you all, speak soon. Mat x
