Sunday 10th January. Someone knocked our door at 3am and woke me up. When I answered it was some random man asking me if it was Justin's room.. No. Go away.. I got back to sleep and I got up at 9:30 for breakfast. My sunburn was slightly less painful today but still sore. We got ready to head to the beach over at Manly with my factor 50! We were originally going to head to Bondi afterwards but we ran out of time. We took the train to circular quay then got on th...

Saturday 9th January. Another early start. We were up and eating breakfast at 8. We planned to meet Lauren, who was in Thailand with us, and had to be there for 10. Our hostel is next door to the train station though so we didn't have to go far. We all went to a cafe at the station and had a drink and a catch up, it was great to all get together again and hear about what she had been up to after we had to go home from Thailand. We said our goodbyes again as Laur...

Friday 8th January. We were a bit rough around the edges when we woke up at 9, but we had to get up and get out.

We had a time slot and had to be there between 9-11. We got there in time and took the lift to the top. We were given 4D glasses and went in to a big room with a cinema screen and ...

Thursday 7th January. I woke up at 4am and didn't get back to sleep thanks to Jet lag. We both got up at half 7 and went and grabbed some coco pops in the dining area and got ready to head out for the day. It was cloudy in the morning but cleared up later on. Kirsty wanted to find a hairdressers and we wanted to see central Sydney, so we set out with an old fashioned paper map to find our way. We walked around for two hours trying to find a hairdressers a friend...

Wednesday 6th January. Although it's Wednesday in Australia, because they are 11 hours ahead, it's still only Tuesday in England, so I was completely confused what day and time it was all day. It didn't matter though because we were finally here! We checked in to our hostel, Sydney Central YHA, which is more like a small budget hotel than a hostel. We were upgraded to a private double room for free, thanks to Kirsty's friend who now lives in Sydney knowing peopl...
