I'm exhausted. it's 930pm and its all I can do not to fall asleep.
Yesterday I got up and went for coffee.. then I intended to walk to the opera house but after 2 hours of walking ended up back where I started... whoops
Eventually I did make to to the opera house.. took some pictures, walked around inside, used there bathroom...
Then I walked to the Botanical Gardens which are right next door. It started raining again so I went to the cafe...
I hung around in the park a bit and then walked to Darling Harbour.
around 7pm my feet were exhausted and I decided it was time for a drink... every pub was playing the royal wedding so I just parked myself down and watched.
by 1130 or midnight I was actually feelings really down and alone because I hadn't met anyone here yet.. so I wandered back the hostel for bed.. but when I got back there was a party going on in the little common room which is the only way through from the outside world to my room.
I got sucked in and didnt end up going to bed until 5am!!
I woke up at 10am this morning and when to starbucks for breakfast.. I basically repeated yesterday.. Only I went to a different point in the harbour to get better pictures of the opera house.
Walking around all day yesterday and today has killed my feet... I almost started crying at 5pm... I just wanted to get back here so I could sit down and after walked for ages I realised I was going the wrong way.
I gave up and went to a chinese restaurant for dinner. The I went and saw Thor because the idea of sitting for 2 hours felt like heaven.
Now im back at the hostel, and in one direction there is my room... where someone is already sleeping so I cannot stay there unless I plan on sleeping, but its only 950pm.. or if I try to leave there's the drunk irish people... Im not really up for that again.... sighh... backpacking! LOL
Tomorrow if I can get out of my bed I might go to Bondi Beach.. it's actually supposed to be sunny for the first time since I got here!!

Sydney
I arrived in Sydney this morning!
It was a long long night.. I had to clear out my apartment and throw away a lot of stuff in order to repack my backpack.
I woke up at 430am to shower and do a few final things but I still barely made my 715am flight.
It was pouring rain when I got to the airport. Not a good first impression.
After checking into my hostel I took a 1 hour nap and then headed out to explore... at first I was on a quest to find coffee but eventually in became aimless walking and exploration.
I wandered through a cute neighbourhood called Glebe for awhile and ended up at a fish market randomly... which is where I finally got my coffee haha
after the fish market I found the harbour and decided to walk along the coast until I found the Sydney Opera house. I walked for hours and hours and never found it (after look at google maps it turns out I was way way on the wrong side of the city)
Just as my feet were threatening to fall off I found darling harbour. Which is uber touristy and very much like clifton hill in that way.
The whole day it rained on and off but as I got to Darling Harbour it started pouring again, and with my feet in so much pain I decided to see an IMAX movie.
They have a huge imax screen here. I saw the Hubble telescope movie in 3D which was really cool. I <3 space. ... pretty much want to be an astronaut now.
When I got out of the theatre it was 5pm and still raining. I was starving so I decided to find food.
I was a little embaressed while checking out the restaurants. since it was only 5pm they were all completely empty and I was eating alone. Thankfully when I chose one it started raining really really hard and people flooded in for drinks and shelter.
I ate and then walked back here to the hostel.. The hostel I'm stay at is huge.. sooo many rooms and the common space isnt that big. I dont know how im going to meet people.
its 7pm now. I think im going to go out and find a pub or bar in this area called paddys markets.. I havent found it yet.. just saw it on google maps and thought it looked alright.
Tomorrow Im going to go to the right side of the city to see the opera house..
Hopefully the rain gives me a break!
<3 xx bye
