My day stared off at a nice steady pace this morning. Was in no hurry to get going so just slowly got ready and got out of the hostel full of food around 11 O'clock. As today is my first trekking day I started small as planned. The weather wasn't brilliant, I even started off in my raincoat- which I'm sure makes you guys reading this from Wales feel much less envious. I walked down the street to the start of the trail and walked down the stairs to the bottom of T...

Sitting in the beautiful sun by the beach, a coffee in hand and remains of a chocolate muffin around my mouth was simply the perfect way to start the day! It was gorgeous. People eating breakfast in cafes all around me, waves crashing and tourists trying to keep hold of their boards in the sea. Really felt like paradise. A quick walk up the hill back to the hostel, but this time I resisted the ice cream. Gathered my stuff, prepared lunch and hopped on the train ...

I planned to have a lie in today as I was still trying to catch up with the sleep I lost during my flight. Sadly though it didn't really happen as I was woken up by the rising temperature of my room. But 8:15am was good enough so I slowly got showered and dressed, then cooked my porridge ready for my walk. I even had a cup of tea- all very exciting! As I was about to leave a German lad spotted me dressed like I was about to climb the Himalayas - I did get round ...

I ended up spending too much money on things I didn't use and spent too much time walking between places. The important thing is its done now, but it left me in a poor mood. I checked out of my hostel and booked my coach up the coast. This lifted my mood as I saved a bit of money doing so and it seams a better service than I originally thought. I then jumped on ...

I arrived in Sydney at 8.30am with very little sleep and was considerably jet lagged. I started the day off by finding my hostel and putting my bag in a locker before finding my way to the apple store to figure out how to unlock my phone! I'm going back again tomorrow and it should all be ready for my international sim. After walking half way into Sydney I was going to turn around and try and get some well needed sleep, but as I was so close I thought I would go...
