Had a really chilled out morning, and then got our act together and went into town to catch a ferry to Manly beach! The ferry was really cool, awesome views of the harbour. I had heard really good things about Manly beach so was quite excited. When we got there it was pretty nice but kind of just...a beach. It was very busy too. Hollie said that Bondi would be like 3 times as busy which is kind of crazy! It was really nice weather so we chilled on the beach for a...

Today was the big Mardi Gras festival parade in Sydney! Unfortunately it was raining which wasn't much fun.. Hollie and I spent the morning sightseeing - we went and saw the harbour bridge and the opera house which was really cool! As we were walking away from the harbour we ran into a van giving away free ice creams if you just did some random jumping video haha, so we had free magnums! It was awesome!

I stayed at a pretty nice hostel, really friendly! The guy who picked us up from the bus told us what there was to do there on the way through town and stopped at the lookout so that we could take some photos. Met a few nice people on the bus. Got to the hostel and checked in, th...
