Today I was checking out of my Sydney hostel ready to go to Melbourne at night! I was in mixed emotions about leaving, I was ready to leave Sydney as i felt I had seen everything but was sad about leaving the hostel and the friends I had made there. This is probably because in all my previous hostels I had stayed for 3 days at most whereas I stayed here for about 2 weeks in total! The sun was finally shining so I decided to head to Manly beach for the day. I got...

Today I decided to spend a lot of my day in the city as I would be leaving on friday. The weather was not brilliant, so no good for sunbathing! I walked into the city and headed to Paddy's Market. I had previously been there on my first day in Sydney and hadnt been back since. Was nice to leisurely go around all the stalls and get some cheap fruit!

I stayed there till 3:30 then made my way back to the hostel. Surprisingly I wa...

The thing is though, because I'm doing the great ocean road on my own and being only a driver of 3 months I was a little bit scared that I would get lost (I'm not good at directions when I'...

I hadnt really planned my next 5 days in Sydney and was pretty chilled out about it all as I had already done the touristy things the night before. So I jumped at the chance when the guys suggested going to The Star Casino All you can eat buffet. You register with them for free and you only pay $9.90 for the buffet. So we jumped on train then bus to get there, I would have normally walked but the guys insisted on public transport, conserve the energy for eating....
