After a chilled day yesterday Jo, Amy and I were up early and met for breakfast. This felt like such a treat being able to just relax and have a bowl of cereal without it costing me $5!
We then headed out to the Botanic Gardens to meet up with Sarah (Bryon friend) and Hannah for a picnic in the glorious sunshine. The weather was absolutely boiling today and apparently the hottest it has been in Sydney for some time.
We then went on a FREE walking tour around the city. The guide was a young lad who had set up the tours with his girlfriend so they could show their city off to new visitors and backpackers!! It was about 3 hours and he took us all round the major points of the city and providing us with plenty of history.
The most exciting part was when I got my first glimpse of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge!!! Amazing views and once again made me appreciate my little adventure so much more – I am just loving it J
Sydney is a really great city, it is so clean with plenty of beautiful spots – Hyde Park, Botanic Gardens, Harbour and some very impressive buildings. It is similar to London but a lot calmer to walk around.
After the tour had finished we raced round the shops to find a santa hat to wear tomorrow – at home they would be on every street corner, but here, it was a challenge!
I then went out and met Steph (Jenna’s friend) and went to a party at her friends flat. It was really lovely to see Steph, a familiar face and someone from back home who is also having all the same feelings as me, so was nice to catch up and swap stories.
After few drinks in the flat headed out into Sydney for a bit and then home! Still so strange it is Christmas Day tomorrow, but very excited I am off to Bondi beach to celebrate it!!
