Wow so yesterday was the longest (two) day(s). Let's start from the top: the flights were standard and so drawn out. I managed to sleep a bit which was good as the film choice wasn't that great. The food was actually really decent for aeroplane food - I tried most things so mum should be proud! Turns out I like banana muffins and chocolate mousse, just not raspberry. There was a weird muesli which had yogurt in with it. Not a fan! Managed to connect flights pretty smoothly - Dubai airport was very glam with lots of cars and alcohol. Apparently it was 33 degrees there. Just as well I didn't go outside in it! Met some friends, one of which is quite ill now and the other has left. Caught the train from airport to hostel at about 5am yesterday with my pal Chester. The hostel is great although wifi isn't free :( everyone was really lovely in the dorm I slept in last night - about 8 people. Now I'm in a room of 2 other girls who I haven't met yet. The guys in my room were fun last night - they got so drunk and I was the creepy one just sleeping/watching. Chester and another pal, Ali and myself went exploring Sydney harbour yesterday. It's really beautiful - shame it's so cold here. The opera house is stunning and the bridge is just an incredible structure - which you can climb for like $300! We took a ferry to Manly which was a holiday type resort thing with the most incredible beach! We saw a dolphin swim by the ferry too which was amazing! I had a subway for lunch and I like the Australian drink 'goon' - tastes like white wine but a bit more vinegary. Went for breakfast today and I got the biggest mug of tea with bagel. I've burnt my mouth. Everything is so expensive here! I can see my money dwindling fast! Tour starts at 3 today and so I'm going to have a nap before I think... Mood of today: tired and anxiously excited.
