Sydney!

We had a polava with being booked into a horrible hostel, and because we booked it through STA we couldn't get a refund because the woman was a BITCH! All I'll say about it is, we were having a reasonable conversation with her about it and she said to me 'End of discussion' - I was so angry!

Anyway, we moved to a much more friendly hostel after one night, and cheered ourselves up on our first evening in Sydney by going to see Alice In Wonderland at the IMAX, the biggest IMAX in the world apparently! Then we walked around Darling Harbour which was pretty happening!

The following day, after checking into our much nicer accommodation we basically ambled around, we walked through the botanical gardens where they had all these flying fox, bat type things nesting in all the trees, there was LOADS! Then we made our way down to the Opera House, I had a maxibon, amazing!

Hmmm, its hard to remember things we did, all the days seem to blend together! lol. One day we went for 'Pancakes at the Rocks' which were AMAZING, Imogen, you would have loved it!

We went out one night to this place called 'The Gaff' which was cool, but the drinks were expensive and pretty nasty! Australians (or Brits in Australia) seem to drink this stuff they refer to as 'Goon' which appears to be cheap cheap wine, it's not even that strong but everyone drinks looads because it's so cheap! I am sure we will have some in Brisbane (but not too much, Mum.) On our last evening in Sydney (before catching a night bus) we made some chilli and had wraps, which was tasty! Then this bunch of guys were so greatful for our leftovers that they washed up! I think it was because a few of them were stooooned! lol

After a nice few days in Sydney we caught a night bus (12 hours!) to Byron Bay, we all took some amazing sleeping pills which made the journey a doddle! lol.

Not alot has happened in Byron Bay, its quite a nice town built for surfers! lol Off to Brisbane tommorow, exciting, we've heard it's really cool!
