Soaked in Sydney..
So the past couple of days it has been TIPPING it down with rain, as our swedish friend has learnt to say “it’s raining cats and dogs” (much to our amusement!)
Our hostel is very near the Darling Harbour and so we’ve been hanging out down there quite a bit, we went to the aquarium where they had platypuses, sharks and GIANT stingrays etc. and that evening we did another pub crawl but it was nowhere near as good as the previous one so we ended up grabbing a kebab and were in bed by 2am, haha. On Valentines day the weather was still shocking and so some of the girls decided to go to the cinema to see “Valentines Day” (brilliant movie!) as you can imagine, the place was packed.
Today however the sun was shining again and so we took a walk through Hyde Park and the Botanical Gardens down to the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, very impressive! It is such an iconic sight and it certaintly didn’t disappoint 🙂 We had a delicious prawn curry down at the harbour and now it’s time to get packing as we’re off to Surf Camp tomorrow 😀
Speak soon, Alice XXX
ps. We also saw Mrs. Mcquarie’s Chair – have eaten inn a Wagamama over here (one of our fave restaurants back home) and also, we did our first wash the other day… all our whites are now pink. not cool, but hilarious.

Hi Alice – all sonds good! Look forward to hearing the surfing stories after camp.
Is it still possible to walk over the TOP of Sydney Harbour Bridge? Would be a great experience, with great views, but may be expensive.
Hope the sun tan lotion is working, but that you’re becoming bronze in the outdoors!

Sounds like you’re having a brilliant time, Alice. Enjoying reading all your daily activities. Did you get the chance to go inside the Opera House for a look?
Take care,

Whoever would have thought the Pink Ladies would make another appearance?
