Saturday 12th March

Had a massive lie in today (can't really blame us after the horrific coach journey) It was a nice day in Sydney, so we decided to get the bus from our hostel and visit the world famous Sydney opra house and harbour bridge!
     When we arrived we got a bit distracted by a street preformer who went by the name of 'psycho Sam' who did crazy things like do a robot dance and eat balloons.. To be fair he was really entertaining, But the three of us couldn't help but wonder what it must be like to pass the balloon out the other end (If you know what i mean..) After we finished watching this crazy nutter, it had clouded over.... Thanks Psycho Sam! We took loads of photos regardless of the weather. We walked to the nearby botanical gardens to chill on the grass and would you believe it the sun came out! So we got ice creams and spent the afternoon getting great photos of the sun setting over the opra house/harbour bridge.
    We missed the last bus so had to walk all the way back to the dreaded hostel (Sydney Backpackers) so we decided to find the nearest mcdonalds and stock up on snack wraps and 50 cent ice cream cones for the journey. I may have already said this previously in this blog, and I'll probably say it way more times throughout.. But I wish they had 50 cent ice cream cones in the UK.

     So we made it back to our horrible hostel and thank goodness we had some normal people that had joined our room. We got chatting to them and they were two girls from Devon who had just arrived from New Zealand (they were doing our trip but the other way round) We spent ages chatting and telling eachother what to see while your in Aus/Nz. We went out for a few drinks and came back to the hostel room to find that there was one person who didn't have a bed.. This was because one of the guys who had been at the hostel for ages had his friend staying in our room for about a month and the workers didn't even realise... just about sums this hostel up.
