We are in Sydney!

The weather isn't that great however it is a lovely city and the harbour bridge and opera house are brilliant. We are staying in North Sydney with my aunt and uncle Nikki and Andy and it has been great staying with them and eating very yummy dinners and having a beautiful view of the harbour from the living room.

Anyway...on our last night in Melbourne we were taken to a really good chinese restaurant with Molly's cousin Tim and his friends which had really good dumplings. We then attempted to get tickets for someone from the Melbourne comedy festival but we left it too late so we just spent the evening being shown the cool places for a melbourne friday night. The next day we drove to the Yarra Valley to the wineries to take part in Grape Grazing...a festival of wine 'tasting' and music. We went to a couple of wineries and it was lots of fun. We then drove quickly back to catch out overnight train to sydney.

We all just slept on the train which was good and it went very quickly.

On our first day we walked with Nikki, around the milford point, over the harbour bridge and around the rocks, the market there before going to circular quay to get a ferry back to the flat.

Since then we have been sorting out our greyhound transport, Thai Visa's (free at the moment because of the troubles) and seeing the city.

We also went to Bondi Beach today and watched all the surfers whilst doing a bit of sunbathing before it rained....
