2 weeks in Sydney! But started to consider going to Melbourne in the time as 2 weeks is too much!!
Day 1 11th:
Got to Sydney at about 6pm, booked into my hostel at Nomads. Liked it a lot! You get free pasta and rice all the time, they randomly give away free alcohol and do free walks. My room was cozy too :) 6 bed room with bathroom for $31.
Went for a drink at the Sydney Opera house bar to say farewell to my group :( Circular quay was beautiful, the opera house at full moon :)
Day 2 12th:
Didn't get up til 12pm lol. Met with Aine and went for a walk, went to Market city, walked around the markets and the shops and had chinese - got so bloated!
Went back to our hostels to get ready to go out. Met up with Kyle and his gf (contiki buddies) to go drinking! We drank some wine in Nomad's kitchen then went to the Hilton for free drinks! (Courtesy of Kyle!) Then walked to Darling Harbour and went to Cargo bar for more drinks. Saw fireworks :) still ill with my chest infection so left quite early!! Was a good night!
Day 3 13th:
Went to A&E at Sydney Hospital to sort my chest infection out. Got seen really quickly and got given meds. Didn't even have to pay! :) Had a chicken wrap from McDonalds again lol. Walked back to Circular Quay and looked at the markets at the Rocks. Had a quick drink and chips at Wake up and walked back to my hostel for another recovery sleep!!
Day 4 14th:
Went on a Sightseeing bus around Sydney! Did a Sydney tour and saw great views of the skyline, the quay (again!) And got off at Kings cross to have a look, saw the big cocacola sign! Did another tour to Bondi beach - not too impressed! Doesn't compare to Thailand beaches! Went back to Aine's friend's house for dinner, she made us burgers and potatoes! Yum! So nice having a cooked meal!!
Day 5 15th:
Checked out of Nomads today and came over to Wake up! Just for a change of scenery. Made our own breakfast of beans on toast and ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch :)
Got the 2 hour train ride to Katoomba and then did a bus tour of the blue mountains. Saw Katoomba cascades and did a walk from Honeymoon lookout to Echo point to see the 3 sisters. Also stopped at Leura village (its like my name!!) Came back to wake up and had cup a soup for dinner, did my nails in the TV room and sat in bed catching up on my journal and this blog lol.. Its nearly midnight now!! Phew!
