Hi there, hows tricks? Im actually in New Zealand now but im gunna finish off sydney first and then do a new entry for NZ. SO here we go! On the thursday i is was still pretty tired but mangaged to get up earlyish and had some a cooked breakfast in the cafe at the hostel. I then planned my day, it started of with a walk around the town and up to the bridge, i got some good photos of sydney opera house and the habour and i went to the viewing spot on the bridge, i was gunna walk across but i felt a bit lazy so didnt, but i got some good close up photos thou. I then did a bit more shopping (souvieners but cant say too much,might spoil a certain surprise... he he ) and had a walk around the habour again, i then heard from the two girls form Byron, Clare and Jo and met up with them in Hyde park for a chat, we then went for some cheap food in an irish bar near our hostels. we got showered and changed and headed out for our big night out. We stared off in a bar called Minus 5. It is an ice bar where everything from the bar, seats and tables to our glasses was made of ice, it was well cool(literally...god i keep saying that joke) they give you massive thick coats and ugg boots and gloves and you go in, only allowed half an hour in there, which was long enough, got some 'cool' photos cant wait till you see them. we then headed to Kings Cross, and went to few random bars round there, which were interesting! and we ended up in some weird uderground club,which was really wierd and we didnt even finish our drinks before we left!good nite thou. the next day(yesterday) we were all feeling pretty rubbish and sorry for ourselves and jo suggested going to a place called Crunella (famous for some race riots recently i think!!!) but it was really nice, not been that far out of sydney before and it was a very quaint little place, we had some food and watched the surfers there too. we then headed back to sydney. me and jo waved clare off on her coach to Melbourne and then we went to the IMAX cinema at darling harbour, it was cool but a bit cheesy, good effects thou. then i headed back to the hostel, said goodbye to Jo, and headed to bed cause i had to be up early for my coach to the airport at 5am. so thats about it really, my flight here was good, bit bumpy over the mountains but i was ok. im going to tell you more about NZ in Next one (although i have only been here about 5 hours) anyway hope your all well? im missing you all loads this is the furthest i've ever been away from home, it feels weird. love you all lots Lou Xx Ps thanks squid lips for my message, i didnt think i would miss you but i am, only joking, cant wait to get back and go out for a girly sister night out...love you loads, well done with the modellling sounds great chick, let me know how it goes. hope Uni is ok? see you soon Xx big kiss X
