G'day from sydney!

G'day mates!

hope your all enjoying the summer sun!

Have been in sydney just over a week!
So far i've done the main touristy sights like seeing the opera house and bridge! My friend from Uni was here the past week and we did lots of shopping and sightseeing together!

Exciting things about sydney so far are, double decker trains where you can flip the back of the seat round so you can chose to face fellow passengers or not (very confusing first time!!), you can catch a ferry everyday and the names of train stations like, zig-zag, wahroonga and warrawee!!

The most embaressing thing happened to me...i fell in the gap, as in "please mind the gap" between the train and the platform and i said the F-word very loud...and now my shin is all bruised and scrapped!! It could only happen to a very "special" person eh??

Another (literally) cool thing about sydney is a bar called minus 5 that is made out of ice!! Your only allowed to stay for half an hour and they gave us special gloves, coats and ugg boots to wear!Even our cups were made out of ice and there were loads of funky ice sculptures around!!

Also took a little trip down to the famous Bondi beach which i found very disapointing and nowt special (maybe i have been spoilt by all the beautiful beaches in Brazil...)

Theres some new pics up on facebook of Oz if you want to check them out, but they are very few so far!

Anywho...i have to go and try and sort my journey up the coast...

hope all is well back home and your enjoying the summer sun (it has been so rainy her the past 3 days that cars have been swept away...!)

Lots of love
