So arrived safe and sound... a bit a bumpy start... sleeping through my alarm, not actually checking my departure time (apparently this is an essential when traveling) and managing to loose my wallet (travelers cheques, USD, cards incls.) NICE ONE Lyndall !!! Sent off in true wellington style ... wind and rain.. making for a bumpy ride !

Spent that day soaking up the sydney sun !!! great ... bronzed goddess here i come !!! Got myself into a great little backpackers... ok not so little as is with the trend in sydney ... seems nothing is small in this town ... just perfect for a lone traveler like me to get lost it ... not actually lost ... figuretively speaking that is ... apparently quite handy with the ol' map thing :) and already experienced my first night on it .. backpackers styles.. good times !!! In Newcastle a the mo with friends ... looking forward to a few relaxing days .. will leave it there ... as i am reminded by a good friends that nobody like long blogs anyway !! love to all xxx
