So just after our last post we went on an amazing walking tour around Sydney that started at the Town Hall and ended with a great view of Circular Quay. We saw the shopping mall, financial end, Hyde Park and the food festival, the history of how the city was founded and developed, a fountain where a scene from the Matrix is filmed, The Rocks, the market, Oktoberfest and even and Arthur Stace 'Eternity' slab outside the cathedral. So now we're full of Sydney knowledge! Would recommend that tour to everyone visiting the city!
For dinner we walked back to the Hero's of Waterloo, listened to some live music then went for a walk over the bridge by night.
The whole city was a little freaky because of the masses of people dressed up for Halloween, we bumped into zombies all day!
Yesterday we got up early with our waterproofs at the ready for our trip to Manly because of the weather report and having seen lightning the night before.... however, whilst watching the surfers the sun came out and slowly fried us as we walked round to Shelly Beach and took in the beauty that Is Manly. Well worth a ferry trip and a burnt face however embarrassing.
On the ferry back we managed to make some plans to catch up with another trekker I met on the Southern Sun tour and Taz came to pick us up in the Rocks and drove us down to see Bondi beach. We came back and went over the other side of the bridge for dinner (which was awesome) then went for a walk round by Luna Park and had the best view of the bridge, opera house and city thanks to our Sydney-sider tour guide! Was horrible saying bye again but at least mums here to keep me company.
Right now shes leaning on the hard drive next to me falling asleep. We got up at 4am to shuttle to the airport and catch a 9am flight to Auckland, New Zealand. Our hostel is lovely and so was the dinner we found down the road. Wont get to see much of this city but its ok as we start the trek tomorrow morning!!
Anyway better get the mother to our oh so comfy beds...
Love you all
