Well what can i say I LOVE SYDNEY!!!!!!!! Its so cool, the night life is pretty fab too! We stayed in the city for 2 nights and went out both nights to a bar at our hostel, its a nice bar, bit cheesy though! We left today though to do the beachey bits first, We are in Manly we are going to stay here for a week, had our first day today, i looked around a bit but just spent the afternoon on the beach, its so luch i love laying aroud, im turning into a bit of a beach bum i think..... Our hostel here is ok, its a bit basic but its right on the beach, near all the nightlife shops etc and we have our own room which makes a nice change from having to share. We are going to learn to surf here, as the waves aren't so big, im very excited about this its going to be very funny i think! I haven't seen much of the city yet as we were only there for 1 and half day and decided to leave the main sughts till when we go back in a week. Allthough we did drive over the Sydney harbour bridge and have seen the Opera house! its very strange seeing it in real life after seeing it in so many pictures. I will take lots of photos when i get back and get them up asap. Our hostel in Sydney "wake up" was very nice, its just like a hotel which makes a nice change, its the biggest one there and they have there own bar etc, we are going to stay there again when we go back. The weather is still really nice, im hoping its going to stay nice, so keep your fingers rossed for us. Our journey down to Sydney was a bit long winded, took us 2 days to get there on the bus. It rally wasn't to bad though as we had a great bus driver and he had us playing games and all sorts, at one point he had us decorae the bus while he was driving, it was the most colourfull bus ever, covered in Ballons and streamer, we got a few funny looks! Im off out for dinner now so best go! Will write agan soon as im sure im going to have lots to tell you all. Take Care love Karen xxx
