Hello from Sydney! After the longggggest journey known to man we finally arrived in Australia! Luckily we managed to move quickly through passport control and immigration and then headed to baggage claim! They were filming at the airport for channel 7 - which we guessed might be for 'nothing to declare' so if you watch it keep an eye out for 3 tired looking girls trying to lug heavy suitcases off of the conveyer belt! We then waited in a long line for our own 'nothing to declare' and handed in our entry cards! We headed to the train station and took a 15 minute train into Sydney Central. Our hostel is literally a stone throw from the train station so it didn't take long at all, we arrived about 8.30 and couldn't check in for a while so we locked up our cases and went in the coffee shop next door for a much needed coffee! We had lots of time to kill so after a short chat and coffee we headed off for a wander around. There's a cute little park near where we're staying so we walked through and headed for the shops/restaurants etc. We looked around and found a little nail salon, deciding to treat ourselves to a cheeky manicure - this killed a good hour or so!! We then found the best thing ever - Nando's! So even though it was about 11.15am we had some peri peri Sydney style (although no halloumi on the menu was disappointing!)
We walked back to the hostel and luckily our room was ready so we checked in and headed up for a much needed nap! Not being much of a napper I read some magazines and had a short sleep, however Charlie and Ellie slept for a good 4 and a half hours!! We got up, showered and got dressed and went for a walk to look for somewhere to eat dinner! We walked all around darling harbour which was so nice and it was nice to see all the yachts and boats in the harbour and all the pretty lights! We had a nice meal in one of the restaurants and a few glasses of wine! Next stop, bed!! Looking forward to a proper sleep after being a wake for so long! x
