First week in Australia

So it is now tuesday in my second week in australia and have now been in australia over a week, so sit back I shall now tell you about my week....

I arrived at Sydney Airport at 9.30am on Monday morning, I had not slept at all on my flight but was buzzing to be there, got through immigration quite quickly, luckily. I got myself checked in but the hostel didnt have a lift, so had to lugg my shit up the stairs (incidently (dont get angry mum) but i swapped cases with a girl from my ozintro group so i could have a backpack and we're gonna meet up and swap again when i get back lol) Once i got checked in we just chilled in the hostel room and resisted the temptation to sleep...In the afternoon we started the fun stuff, we went to the botanical gardens and had a walk around, saw the opera house and harbour bridge (that was the moment i thought im in sydney now! was a good feeling after all the months of work and living like a monk) Then we walked past the bridge and went jet boating in the harbour, that was wicked fun enjoyed that a lot! then once i got back we went out for some tea then just chilled on the beach, but i was falling asleep so just went to sleep lol im such a baby. The next day i think we went surfing, we went to a private beach and learned to surf, i was shit at it!! i was good when we were learning on the beach but as soon as we hit the water i was shit got the rope caught round my  neck scared the shit out of me, did manage to stand up once though!! after lunch couldn't be arsed to try again so just sun bathed!! which incidently i regret the shit out, cos i got sun burned so bad i got sun stroke and it was painful for days, only now have i got over it!! That night we went to a place called the gaff and i intended to get drunk but i nearly passed out got really dizzy felt so ill, but all i needed was some fresh air and water  but everyone was lovely to me which was good. I stayed for a bit after that but in the end went home early cos felt so bad :( The next day was a bit boring, it was just  the important stuff that needed sorted like banking and crap..but in the afternoon we did go to the aquarium it was good but its just a bunch of fish lol. The day after that we went to Bondi beach i liked that, that was also one of those times that i realised i was in sydney lol I had a jump in the waves but it was FREEZING so i got out and we went for a drink in a cafe. Then we did a gorgeous walk back to coogee across the coastline, took some nice pics and had a bbq and i watched everyone else play volleyball cos i suck at it..The next day i really enjoyed I went to the Blue Mountains i loved that, i love walking so i got to do some great walking took some nice pics and went on the steepest train ride in australia, was awesome fun!  Afterwards though i was nackered and we went on a walk down 1000 steps, its just as bad going down as it is going up.. On the Saturday we didnt do much, just sun bathed on Coogee beach but in the afternoon i somehow spent $2200 !!! i booked all my trips which lasts for 6 months, i booked a 6 months bus pass to cairns, a sky dive, sailing trip round whitsundays, trips to magnetic island, cape tripulation, fraser island, gold coast, brisbane, sky dive, white water rafting, and a scuba dive, im incredibly excited!! i think after nye im gonna head up to byron bay and find some work with a friend cant wait!!! On the sunday (the last day of ozintro) we went to sydney tower restaurant which looks out to the whole of sydney and revolves aswell and its a buffet, i enjoyed it there!! and after that ozintro was over :( sob so now im on my own, its mega scary but i should be ok, afterall this is why i came here isn't it?!

Yesterday (Monday i moved into my new hostel, its smack bang in middle of sydney city so i can walk everywhere but so far i prefer the smaller places but im only here for a week so should be ok...Last night though we cooked dinner with my room mates, one from japan, one from netherlands so was interesting!! then just chilled and watched movies in the common room, was nice cos my last hostel in coogee didnt offer much like that!!! Then today (Tuesday) i met up with a good, dear friend from camp and we spent the day at manly beach and circular quay. it was fun, we got the ferry to manly hung out on the beach had some lunch. i like it at manly its a nice beach town....im going to her town for xmas so that should be fun to see a proper aussie town...

first week has been pretty awesome, so im really excited for this next year of my life :D
