Hey Everyone,

So we are nearly ready to loeave Sydney now, and quite excited and a bit thankful to be flying out of here and to New Zealand. Sydney is no where near as nice as Melbourne, and after coming from how comfortable we had got at Geds to here was a bit of a shock.

Our first night in Sydney was in Kings Cross which was horrendous, prostitutes everywhere and older than the queen. We stayed in Funk house backpackers and the only funky thing was the smell.

But hope came the next day when we moved to Manly, where we found ourselves in a beach resort. Although i still haven't got to wear my bikini as it has been raining but still quite warm. Our hostel was a lot better with a private bathroom and TV in our room, although our roommate was a sleep farter.

Monday we went on a trip to the Blue Mountains and although most of the time the views were covered in mist, i liked it because it felt like you were in the clouds. We took a ride on the cable car in the pic, which was quite scary as it just plummeted you to the bottom of the mountain. We then came back up on the train which brought you up backwards at a 52 degree angle which is quite scary when you got to the top and it started creaking like it was going to drop you.

Today we have checked into a hostel in the city again although no where near Kings Cross. Tom was disgusted with the smell our romm was giving off we think we may get eaten by mutant bugs tonight, so this may be farewell. Otherwise we will write again when we have landed in Auckland.

Bye for now.

Nikki and Tom xXx
