Ah I love Sydney.
I was only here for a week before I move onto Melbourne but i'm glad I stopped by. There is so much to see and do here that you're never bored, and even when you haven't planned to do anything the city has a way of surprising you. Like today for instance. My flight is in the evening so I just needed to fill my time until then. There wasn't anything I particularly wanted to do so I thought i'd just go for a walk round the shops, chill in a park, maybe read my book. I made it so far as the general shopping area and ended up spending the afternoon sitting in the sun listening to an awesome band, and consequently buying their CD :-) .
The rest of the week was spent reconnecting with friends and organising myself. I had coffee with my gorgeous flat mate and visited our old land lady, and thanks to my fabulous land lady I went to the Harry Potter museum exhibition and got overly excited with all the other nerds. I went to the museum of contemporary arts with the girls from pontoon and had tea and cakes in the roof top cafe, and I finished the week with an epic night out with fellow oz-introers. It was a great night out but apparently the guys in my room also had a big night, and consequently one of them was sick, several times, all over the floor. Oh the joys of shared accomodation. Oh and if that wasn't bad enough, he was sleeping in it. Yes. He had fallen asleep on the floor, thrown up his double cheese pizza, and then gone back to sleeping. Lovely. Thank goodness I was checking out.
As well as all the fun and games I had some down time to sort myself out. Travelling is hard work (don't scoff) so it's good to have a day or so to double check plans, book more trips, and finally... sleep! It's even better when you can do this whilst sunbathing in Hyde Park, or by the pool in the hostel :-) . Then on top of that finding myself a job in Melbourne whilst lying by the pool chatting to someone I just met makes life even easier.
Oh yeah... i'm still living the dream.
