Hi Everyone!

Well, I'm now in Sydney (again - its like Groundhog Day around here!) and I can't believe my trip is almost over!

Apparently, over here everyone argues as to whether Sydney or Melbourne is better. To me, you just can't compare them. Sydney has the stunning, and by that I mean STUNNING, harbour. Its breathtaking day or night. But its busy, really busy, and in some ways makes me think of New York. Melbourne has nothing particularly stunning in comparison, but its beautiful in its own way.

Today, i went to the top of the Sky tower and got some fab photos. I ended up going shopping (not in any way intentional, but walked past some nice shops!) and then to the Aquarium. Yesterday I met up with Ally, one of the girls from my NZ trek and it was really nice catching up. She took me to her touch football game and then we did a mini city tour. It was good to get a feel for what it is actually like to live here, rather than just seeing the touristy things.

I only have 4 days left now and plan to be very busy! I'm going to the famous Paddy's markets, Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Observatory, QVB and Taronga Zoo, not to mention looking round the Rocks and going on a Harbour Cruise! Too much, too little time!

I plan to really enjoy this week before I head back to the UK and reality. I'm sure I've said this before, but this really is the trip of a lifetime!
