Well, I have been back in the city for almost a week now. I am back in a hostel and am enjoying it so much more than Bondi! The people I lived with were so boring and miserable it was bringing me down....And I'm on holiday!!! So I am meeting new people everyday and having a great time.

I am staying in a 6 bed dorm, all of the other people in the room are blokes. That is entertaining but I get on with blokes better (less b!tching!). We had a new roommate yesterday and he spent all night snoring - He's in the bunk above me so I kept kicking his bed but to no avail....Only 4 more nights to go!!

Have booked a trip for Christmas Eve - I am going on Route 69's 4 hour Harbour Bridge Cruise. It's $79 and you get a Christmas dinner, unlimited drinks and entrance to 2 clubs after (That's if you can still stand!)

I found some duck yesterday - Even though it's not crispy duck it still looks good so am going to have that for dinner once all my pasta has gone. I'm getting into the whole cooking thing and am enjoying it! Starting a healthy diet - Had an apple today!! It's hard when I live right next to a hotel which serves food for $6. My steak intake has increased!

I spent the weekend on Coogee beach with my roommates, got slightly burnt but that has turned brown now! Am trying to get quite a bit of sun now but it's been cloudy the last 2 days

Going to the Blue Mountains and hopefully doing the Harbour Bridge Climb before I leave on the 2nd Jan. A girl I know from Swindon is arriving in Sydney just before Christmas so be good to have a bit of home here!

Not much else to report from this end, it's not long til I leave the city so trying to figure out if there's anything left for me to do! More updates soon x
