Day 1 and 2 Sydney:

It all begins with an early wake up call at 4:30am. Especially from a late night the night before... There was a lot of yawning and crawing out of bed...
Even though we got to the airport at 6am for my 6:30am plane. Luckily i was able to jump the queue as in order to get my luggage on the plane. So my trip to Sydney went by pretty quickly. I was so tired so i slept through it all.

Arriving in Sydney it was 23 degrees... No clouds in the sky. That was it. I trained to Martin Place where i was to grab a set of keys for the place i was staying. At first coming out of the station I got lost. Walking round and round in a circle. In the end i got the kesy and went to Wooloomaloo where i was staying. funnily enough opposite where i live in the Australian Naval Fleet Safe Base. I saw HMAS Tobruk and some other naval ships. It's intense. There are naval accomodation next to me and also i found out that Russel Crowe lives down the road from me. Lol... so excited.

Due to the day-light saving i lost an hour but i was really hungry after dropping off my stuff. So i walked all the way down to China Town for lunch which was pretty normal (see photos later) . On the way down i managed to roll my ankle luckily i didnt face plant into the ground but i was limping around. It wasnt until i took my shoe off that it began to swell. So Day 1 and i already had hurt my ankle. Haha.

After lunch i decided to take on the challenge where i would head to the other end of town to see the well known Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. I then met up with Vee and went on the manly ferry. Arriving at Manly it was like surfers paradise in Brisbane. But obviously Surfers Paradise beats it any day. Haha. So what did we do? We decided to be a bit crazy and had Movenpick ice-cream plus a drink at Max Brenna. Intense sugar and coffee high... Lol... It seems crazy to be eating so much cream in one day.

At about 5pm we went back to Wooloomaloo cuz my ankle had had enough. It was fun finding our way back cuz Vee and I didnt have any idea either. On the way we drove there we went pass King Cross, well known for clubs, red light district, and stabbings etc. i thought i would never have to go there but for the sake of dinner i went to coles in King Cross. It seemed crazy there were kids running around the streeets and people going aout their normal lives. So wierd. Luckily i wasnt stabbed or anything. But it was my first experience to go to a suburb like king cross.

Day 2
Just woke up at 9am... Room mates had already gone to work but im just resting and heading out to Naz's party later on tonight.
