Sydney is one of those places we have always dreamed of going to, hence arriving there was an exciting event! We have been really getting into the whole saving money game, as we grow into true backpackers! So deliberately booking a hostel in Sydney that offers a free airport pickup (thats $35 saved!), worked a treat! All the districts in Sydney have names of their British counterparts, we stayed in 'Kings Cross' which had some similarities to that back home, some very weird tramps passed out on the benches, strip clubs and also some very soho style bars which altogether made for an interesting experience! Our well picked hostel also gave us 15 drinks vouchers for various bars dotted around Sydney, so we would search them out, have our free beer or wine and carry on to the next, now thats free living in Sydney!! The Opera House lived up to expectations, its huge and there was much debate over whether it looks like slices of orange, an armadillo or a snail. You can also walk literally over the bridge for a ridiculous sum of money, we decided to save the pennies (its so expensive in Australia you do end up feeling like you only have a few pennies). A very special day finally came on our second day in Sydney, a day that was bigger than New Year, Christmas, and demanded a bigger award ceremony than the Oscars.... and thats our one year anniversary (it was never decided/agreed who should recieve the award!)!!! A day was spent up the highest tower in Sydney looking out over this remarkable city, free drinks were had and then it was time for a great dinner and night to celebrate. Having had a great taste of Australia so far we were keen to get our hands on our campervan and set off in search of the most beautiful beaches in the world....

May - I borrowed a frdenis Hasselblad last year (same model) and it was the most amazing thing ever! I can really appreciate what you are feeling. I have wanted to buy myself one since then. Very jealous. You will have lots of fun with it. Looking forward to seeing some of the images.June 23, 2010 9:31 pm
