1st & 2nd days in Sydney

4th October 2013

When landing, I was unsure of where to go to get my luggage and whether I would have someone waiting for me because 3rd flight was delayed so I landed later than planned. But it was all okay, I did have someone waiting for me so I could be taken to Wake up! where I stayed for just over a week.

I was impressed when I arrived at Wake up! in Sydney because I love colours and it was colourful and funky!

I spent the day exploring locally and in Market City where I found it hard to not to spend too much!! So creative and colourful! Bought few things for home in Belfast, such as fridge magnets. When I go abroad I collect fridge magnets for both my parents and I so our fridges would be full of interesting magnets.

I suffered from land sickness and everywhere were moving, even the grounds! I knew it was because I was on the planes for so long.

I then went back to Wake up! and ended up falling asleep from 4-6pm as I was so tired from broken sleep on the planes. But I was able to sleep again at bed time which was so good! I was pleased to be able to catch up on my sleep! I didn't sleep well at bed time but did get some sleep and felt refreshed and raring to go the next day though! So I was happy about that.

Woke up realising I've adapted to Australia time zone very well, happy bunny!

Went to Congee Beach, took 372 bus and didn't get lost! Unlike when I was in New York in May 2013!! :)

It was cool but then it became hot and soon it got more hotter that I had to get up and put clothes on so I could go to shops to get a cold drink. Whenever it become unbearable I have to go to somewhere that have shade and get a cold drink so I don't faint as I don't deal with the heat very well yet I still travel to hot places :)

Tried my 1st Frappee and it was yummy!! :)

It soon got cooler and more bearable which was so good.

I then went to get a bus back to Wake up! but stopped by local shops before arriving at Wake up!

I went to the cafe in Wake up! for my dinner, I was so tired I found it hard to keep awake. It wasn't even 8pm! Soon after finishing my dinner, I went up to chill in my room chatting to other travellers.

It was so good sunbathing and chilling at the beach after being stuck on the planes for so long.
