hi all hope you are all ok at home, well we are over half way through are trip and wishing we could stay longer already sydney has been so so good, i can understand why people come out and stay here, today it was 23oc and all the oz are wearing scarfs as they think its cold, its like an england summer! I'm finding it a little cold but cause we have been to thailand! after our big night out and a bit of a lie in we headed to darling harbour and the aquarium, it was great, we saw sharks being fed, cara screamed a few times and everyone was laughing at us but she did well! there was lots of nemos! we had lunch in darling harbour and emily our friend from the tour met up with us, it was great to have somebody there from the trip, we are missing everyone! we had a quiet afternoon just walking around! we popped in to see my friend from fareham as hes over for 4 months he wasn't there so left a message for him to meet up. that night we went to scruffy murphys again and there was a live band on, quiet night! we persuaded emily to move to our hostel so tuesday morning she arrived at ten she jumped in to bed and we slept till 1 30, we are so tired from the trip, we felt really lazy!! Our aim was to head to the zoo, we got a ferry from darling harbour round to circular Quay, thats when we got to see the bridge and the opera house, i could't quite believe i was there, its just like you see in the postcards, blue skys etc...we were told be the guy on the boat that it would be a waste to go to the zoo today as it shuts in an hour so we went and booked for the bridge climb and we had a cuppa by the opera house before heading back! my mate txt me and the four of us went for a chinese then to this bar where they take pics of you when you enter, on the hour everyhour starting from 12 they stop on a pic and that person wins a bar tab for the night, the 1st one came up and it was emily, we all got very excited and had a free tab, chris and headed out for a few more beers and cara and emily had to stop drinking cause they were gona get breathalised before the bridge walk, not being allowed on that would be embarrassing! cara met another model, he modeled for mcds and storm watches! ealry start for the girls they headed off for there climb, i went shopping and walked all round sydney it was great, then at 3 we met up with the other people off our tour and had the biggest meal ever in hard rock cafe! we have quiz night and wine and cheese at the hostel tonight so we are staying in, i know i can't believe we are staying in either! tomos we are going to the zoo then friday the beaches. oh yeah i forgot to mention we changed our flights so we are staying in sydney till wed now, its def worth and we feel we are not rushing anything anymore, its lovely here and we don't want to leave feeling we didn't do enough! everyone here is so friendly, always really happy and there seems to be no stresses at all.
