So here we are in Sydney! yey :) This (Manly Beach) is where we are going to stay for the next week. The hostel is right on the beach and absolutely rammed with surfers! Went for a run on the beach this morning and passed many other runners, people chilling out, surfing, bodyboarding and playing volley ball. There is a very nice feel about the place here so pretty content. Went into Sydney last night to Carols by Candlelight to get in the festive spirit which was really great. Hit the pubs clad with tinsel and santa hats and very nearly missed our ferry back at midnight! Basically - loving it here and looking forward to xmas xx
