you can see them all on here. there are a lot!

Here is my week, briefly

Sunday - Blue Mountains, was actually amazing, i loved it so much. met some guys there who were also backpackers and me and two other girls got on with them really well. after getting back from blue mountains we checked out their hostel! was much nicer than the current one, so decided to move there.

Monday - moved hostels, met the boys (David, Michael and Thomas - you will see lots of pics) we went to Bondi and Cenntanian Park, and in the evening went for dinner at the YHA cafe next to the hostel and then to see Terminator 2 at the IMAX theatre, biggest screen in the world apparently.

Tuesday - I went to Toronga Zoo with a Louise's family. it was really good. i really enjoyed it, but was pretty exhausted by the end of it. In the evening we started/finished my 4 litres of Goon (wine in a box) and hit the town. we decided to go to Kings Cross to the World Bar. it was good fun, I had a kebab after though, and that was a bad idea.

Wednesday - Got up early with David and Michael and went to do a tour of the opera house. it was pretty cool. the history of it was really interesting. we booked ourself in to see a show in the evening. it was a shakespeare piece but i can't remember the name! i fell asleep in the second half!! woops.

Thursday - I went to meet a lady from works Daughter - Naomi and her little girl Yani in Manly. We had a wander round, went to North Head, and then drove back to her house which was really lovely. I got to use the internet and upload all my pictures and then we went shopping. Naomi cooked gluten free lasagne (YUMMY) and gluten free brownies - even more yummy! i decided to stay the night as it was abotu 10.30 by the time we finished eating. Slept so good

Friday - Had a brilliant shower with REAL towels, and looked after Yani while Naomi got some stuff done around the house. I watched Marley and Me also. Got a lift down to the Wharf and a ferry across to the city. it was so choppy! felt pretty sick

Went to the post office and sent 5.5 kilos of stuff over to Brisbane! woo (reached my target) then i went to Paddy's Market, i got some more socks, knickers and a hat for bad hair days and then spent $65 on a full body massage - it was so worth it!

Made my way over to the old hostel and booked up loads of thing =)

I've got

• 6 month hop-on hop-off greyhound bus
• 3day/2nights on Fraiser Island
