Tuesday 12th January. We set an alarm for 7:15 to get up and out to see the Blue mountains today. We could hear all sorts of nature outside, and smell so much fresh greenery it was really nice. We went to make breakfast and toast some ciabatta's for lunch. Kirsty managed to pull the shelf off that the utensils was on in the camp kitchen, and everyone was staring at us. Typical Kirsty. Once we were all packed and ready to go we drove to Katoomba which is the next...

Monday 11th January. It's a sad day for me today. It's my last day in Sydney! I have definitely fell in love, and this place has stole my heart. I could easily have stayed for a lot longer. We started our day with some free pancakes they do at the hostel on Monday's, then after we checked out, we sat down to plan our next few days. We couldn't stop laughing at how last minute we had left it, and how I almost booked us in to an 'over 50's' hostel in Newcastle (Au...

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 booked to go up the Sydney Tower eye, which is the tallest building in Sydney at 300m. It has a 360 observation deck at the top so you can see the views of the city. 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 ...
