Hello Australia!
So I am now in Sydney. I landed here on Monday (17thMarch) and was picked up by my cousin once removed (ie my Dad's cousin), Charlotte. I stayed at Charlotte's house with her, her husband Bob and daughter Jocelyn for a couple of nights which was really nice. So good to be in room that's not a dorm room. That was the 21st bed I've slept in since London.
I went to the Blue Mountains on Tuesday which were amazing! They are so expansive and stretch for miles. And there is a mysterious blue haze hanging over them.
Yesterday was a trip to Whale Beach and Pittwater where I got to meet my Great Aunt, Zan who we had lunch with. The beaches there have really strong rip tides but look so beautiful, almost as if they are tempting you to your demise (haha).
In the evening we went back to Zan's house and had dinner and I got to meet another of my dad's cousins, lucy and her daughter, Rachel and Charlotte's son, John . So I've met a lot of family! It's amazing to have so many family members on the other side of the world that I hardly knew anything about.
Then it was on to Roland and Kai's house. They are my second cousins (my dad's cousin Harriet's sons). So I am staying with them now. It's really central - about 20mins on the bus to central Sydney.
So I'm off to explore now!
