O.K So i've made it to Sydney, the journey here actually wasn't too bad. It only took 4 hours and there were 7 of us on a coach made for about 120 people so it was quite comfortable. The hostel i'm staying in is probably the worst i've stayed in, they didn't even have my booking on file so I had to prove that i'd booked, but I am only paying about 7 pounds a night so I guess I shouldn't expect too much.
So, i've had a rather busy day today. I woke up this morning and it was a bit cloudy and a lot cooler than it has been so I thought it would be a good day to have a walk down through the botanical gardens to the opera house and harbour bridge..... BIG MISTAKE! I'd walked for about 10 minutes and the sun came out and it got really hot and stickey. Not the ideal weather for a long walk but oh well. So I saw the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge and even played the random piano that was outside the opera house doors (very out of tune and most of the keys didn't work).
Then I decided to chicken out of the whole walking thing and caught the free shuttle bus up towards Darling Harbour and spent a couple of hours in the Aquarium. Not overly impressive but it got me out of the heat so i'm not complaining. Saw some Sharks and jellyfish up close, hopefully that's as close as I get to them. Now i'm back at the hostel and going to collapse for a couple of hours before I go out to dinner with a couple of girls from the hostel. $4 for a coke and meal, not bad......... not the best meal in the world i'm sure but...... it's 2 pounds what do you expect!
I'll write again soon, i'm planning on going to Bondi Beach tomorrow so hopefully I won't get eaten by a shark! Hope everyone's ok xxx
