Hi everyone! Ok, 1st blog entry... It's day 3 and all is well now I have my bag back! When I arrived at the Airport on Wednesday after a quick dash to the shops to get some underwear and a new shirt Steven took me to the beaches and we walked all through Bronti / Coogee and through to Bondi, it was awesome!! Will hopefully be going back sometime next week to do them all a little more in depth and will stay with Ro if I can get hold of him...

Yesterday I was planning to go to the City Centre to see the Opera House / Harbour bridge etc but the airport rang to say they were going to deliver my bag so instead I stayed local and explored Newtown (the area that Steven lives in) which is interesting! It's full of quirky "induvidual" shops that apparently change on a weekly basis.. In the evening I went with Steve and Bob to the Harbour for dinner, it was absolutely gorgeous with everything lit up. We did a whistlestop tour of the Harbour and Opera House before heading home for bed, I'm still a bit jet lagged I think!

Today I am going to go ot the Harbour again to do what I was planning on doing yesterday; will take lots of pictures of the opera house and bridge for you all to see! Will be climbing up one of the pillars on the bridge as I'm told you get just as gooder view for half the price of the harbour bridge climb. Then I will probably do a spot of sunbathing in the Botanical Gardens before mooching to the train station and coming home for dinner.

Tomorrow I think Steven is planning on taking me on the ferry up to Manly, which is an area just above the Harbour, and then we're going to see a musical in the evening which should be good...

Hope everyone is well, sorry for this long essay!! Make sure you post me messages to keep me in touch with the real world!!

Lots of love to everyone xxxxxxx
