Gud Day to ya all!!!
Well guys what have I been up to here in Sydney, hopefully youve seen the pics of some of my adventures and the ones from New Zealand. I arrived on Monday 30th July flight was 3 hours delayed but eventually got to Sydney Wake up hostel. Really nice hostel with lovely room and ensuite too!!! Steph from my New Zealand tour came and crashed for couple of days before she set off for her Yoga retreat for 3 weeks.
On Tuesday we set off for Bondi beach and took the coastal walk along to Cogee beach which was really lovely and weather nice too, not too hot but for their winter not bad at all and after New Zealand defo warmer for us. I met Nicole on the night for drinks and dinner, she took me to Circular Quay and the Opera House Bar for drinks where we caught up on all the gossip and could gaze at the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge all light up really weird cos Id just seen on the Tv but here I was right there infront of them!!!!
Wednesday set off to find the two embasseys for my visas, Indian and Thailand, about 30 mins walk away was chuffed to find them easily. Have to go back though cos can only lodge applications am and collect visas pm and gonna take 14 days for Indian visa and have to wait till Oct to get Thailand visa but hey ho got time in Sydney before tour so chuffed about that. Feeling bit crappy today, got crap cold and been to get meds good old beechams cold and flu so hope helps to shift it. Met Nicole and her friends for drinks at Martin Place (posh business area)on the night time, had really good time and few bevvies followed!!!
Thursday headed down to Circular Quay to meet Nicole to go to Manly to see her friend Jen who due to have baby soon. Ferry ride was great, got big choppy and Nicole bit twitchy, reminded me of when we were on the boat in San Fransisco ha ha!! Had lovely lunch with girls in place which overlook Freshwater beach really lovely, me and Nicole had walk along Manly beach and quick look in the shops before heading back. Chilled out on the night, cold still being pain, but now got cough which really irritating and not letting me sleep!!!
Friday Raining today, didnt get much sleep last night cos of this cough so decided to head up to Indian Embassay to sit in queue and hand in application and passport, weird how you hate letting go of your passport but needs must!!! Headed back and did some emails at internet cafe then headed down to the SideBar of the hostel and met lady who teacher and two guys travelling the world too, cough still pain, but eased after couple of drinks ha ha!!!

Had look around the maritime museum, the endeavour and navy boat and sub around didnt go on but got pics for you Dennis and Daniel sure you will appreciate them!! Chilled out on the night met two lovely girls from Ireland, cold getting slightly better but the cough still driving me insane, got some cough medicine fingers crossed will help !!!
Sunday headed down to 'The Rocks' this is a great area and had fabulous outdoor market with loads of different stalls and guess what a Xmas stall!!!! Yep spent about half an hour there and managed to get lovely decoration, defo gonna need two xmas trees come 2008!!! Feeling bit fed up cos not got my cash card yet so treat myself to dinner by the Opera House on the credit card!!!! Walked through the Botanical Gardens which was really nice to see, so green and lush then onto the NSW Art Gallery. I know me in an art Gallery but really enjoyed it and it was free, there were pictures from all round the world and great aboriginal section. Chilled out on the night cough really getting me down cos cant seem to shift it!!!
Monday up later than usual had hard time sleeping again!!! Hurrah my cash card came today so Im a woman of means again!!!! So headed out to Darling Harbour to visit the Aquarium and Wildlife centre. Treat myself to lunch on Pier 29 which was really lovely to sit outside and watch all the boats and people in the glorious sunshine. Cold clearing up but cough still there!!!!!!!
Tuesday - woke up and felt really crappy today, think cos not been really sleeping cos of cough so ventured to chemist who prescribed me stronger medicine fingers crossed this helps, headed back to room and chilled out for the day.
Wednesday woke up feeling much better but had really thick head, thought walk will do me good. Headed down to the trendy shope area in Market Street. Everyone here must be size 00 and only 4ft tall with no boobs!!! Nightmare to try and find anything to fit!!! Headed back after couple of hours cos started to feel bit dizzy think its the medicine kicking in so slept for couple of hours and felt much better when woke up. Headed down to side bar and had food and met Kirstie and her boyfriend for couple of drinks which enjoyed. Theyve got jobs here and move to their own place couple of weeks so they dead excited, defo wish Id been younger cos think would have loved to have been here for a year and worked!!!!
