Today we did a cheeky bit of shopping for the first time which was rather exciting!! I bought a new backpack (as my stuff is spilling over) and a couple of headscarfs as my fringe is not reacting well to the humidity! Late afternoon we met Sandy who is absolutely lovely, and she took us around the suburban areas of Sydney. We went to Bondi Beach and she took us to the club house where we had drinks and watched the surf. Today was cooler which was a relief, and so...

Thanks for the messages mummy and daddy... sounds like you have your work cut out with Ben and his friends! Oh to be 16 again!

Manly was gorgeous and simular to Port Douglas actual...

We moved hostels today and are now in the centre in a lush place called Base hostel. We met these two girls called Nancy and Laura who are taking us down to the ever so famous Bondi beach which will be great fun. Last night we were dead to the world again after suff...

Granted this is a little eager since I only posted a blog recently but my first day has proved a little mental... wondered down to Coogee beach only to bump into Chantal and Kelly randomly! I mean in all of Sydney they happened to be there! We then went into Darling Harbour and saw the Aquarium which was interesting. However the day has ended somewhat soarly as I went to my Handbag to find my Visa missing. Dad has come to the rescue but funds may now be limited.....
