One day in!

So far, so good, I think!

The flight was pretty average in my opinion. Seats weren't comfortable, food sucked, I slept about 3 hours in total! They had a pretty good choice of films tho, so at least that made up for it!

Got into Sydney airport around 10am as expected, customs seemed pretty relaxed, quarantine even more so. As evey single person of asian origin was having all their luggage scanned or searched, the quarantine official took one look at my passport and told me walk straight out of the airport!

Managed to somehow get to the hostel without getting lost! All in all pretty impressed, its certainly clean, which was obviously one of the main worries, the staff were extemely friendly, and there were hordes of scantily clad girls floating around, which is always a good sign!

When I checked into my dorm, there was noone else in for me to try and befriend, so I decided to head out and explore the city a bit. Only got as far as Darling harbour, and the shoppping precincts, but I was pretty excited with how it all looked.

After I was all walked out, I returned to the hostel for a change of clothes (it's hot!) There were a couple of french girls in there who are staying in the same room. They turned out to be pretty friendly and invited me to join them in going to Bondi beach. Never one to turn down a sight seeing opportunity, I joined them and we ended up walking from Bronte beach to Bondi, which was pretty nice. The whole feeling of the area made me think I might like to spend a month or so living by the beach.

The rest of the night went by pretty slowly as the tiredness kicked in (fell asleep twice on the beach and repeatedly on the bus back!) We had a few beers by the beach then came into the city for pizza which was decent enough.

No idea what the plans are for tomorrow yet, gonna see who is in my room when I wake up, and try and tag along with whatever theyre doing! Hopefully in a few days I will have taken enough pictures to start posting a few.

Until then, stay warm.
