So today I woke up feeling very poorly (must've been the pie?!) but checked out of the hostel to heading to the train station. The train left at 11am and would take 2 hours to get to Katoomba (where the hostel was). Literally as soon as I put my bags down I fell asleep...and then woke up 5 minutes before the train stopped!Clearly needed my beauty sleep! I checked into the hostel and made myself at home. I had decided that I would climb the mountains over the nex...

Today I had a leisurely morning then headed to the next suburb 'Wooloomooloo'. There wasn't really much there but I was mainly going there to try out a pie at 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels', which is an iconic pie cart, very famous landmark in Sydney! I had the Tiger special which was a steak pie, smothered in mash, then smothered in mushy pies and a hole in the top for gravy! It was delish, haven't had a pie that good in ages! After my pie attack I headed over to Dar...

Now I awoke today with a smile on my face as it was beaming sunshine outside (hasn't happened much whilst being in Oz and NZ) so I thought I would be a proper tourist today and go everywhere! And that I did! First I headed to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Much more impressive than others I've seen and a really good atmosphere, literally a little bit of sun brings people out in droves! From there I walked up to the Sydney Opera House. It was pretty cool altho not as...

After the night before, we all had a lazy day today. Although I did have to do my laundry (the boring times of hostel life!) but it was basically get up, breakfast, laundry, back to bed, lunch. Then I felt a bit claustrophobic so wandered around King's Cross, in the daytime it is a lot like other streets but at nighttime is where it illuminates up like Blackpool! The best part of today was going to see the saturday night Darling Harbour fireworks. Darling Harbou...

Now, the best thing at this hostel is the fact you get free breakfast (cereal and toast, no fryup obviously!) and free tea and coffee all day which is very useful to me as I have turned into a bit of a coffee junkie while I've been travelling! So after filling myself up with cornflakes and toast I realised I hadn't really planned to do anything. Luckily my roommate wanted to go to a couple of places in the city so I tagged along with her. We walked out to Market...
