Well am finally arrived and settled in Syndey following a 14hour delay at Hong Kong airport....damn those Grade 3 Typhoons! Hong Kong was lovely despite the weather and we got to see quite a few sights in the two days that we were there. No bargains from the markets unfortuantely as difficult to travel there. But got to see the views from the Peak and Victoria Harbour. Saw LOTS of shopping malls but was quite expensive and I was very restrained! Perhaps Syndey will be more promising for shops...
Stef and I spent the night with her aunt and uncle - the most hospitable people in Australia hands down! Despite them being the ONLY people i've met in Australia so far, i'm still pretty sure of this fact! They generously allowed us to catch up on our jet lag with a lovely 13hr sleep last night! Ah bliss...
So now i'm at my hostel in Newtown, Sydney, not far from the centre. Rooms are quite basic but really clean. I do have to go outside to the loo, so might have to tone down the amount of water I drink before bed! I had a bit of an arachnophobic moment when I first went in there as the lightbulb had broken, but realised that as the electricity on the Solomon Islands is very temperamental, i'd better get used to it! The hostel does have free internet and discounted trips, and i'm just off a main road where all the shops, bars and restaurants are. The centre is just a bus journey or train ride away so will be off on my sightseeing mission in the morning - awesome!
Promise to get some photos uploaded soon. Trying to work out how to do it...!
Hope everyone is well, will keep you posted with news.
Love Lise
