AUSTRALIA - Sydney (14)

2/3/06 - Because it was another rainy day instead of spending the day in Port Stephens we thought it best to drive down to Syndey because we have to be there tomoorow morning anyway to drop off our campervans. It took around four hours to drive to Syndey and then we found a campsite around 15km from the city centre. So tonight was the last night the four off us had our campervans, which we were gutted about. Its been really good in the campervan you have so much freedom and it was nice to meet Amy and Alex to travel with.
In the evening we made a really nice meal of curry and baked a chocolate brownie cake for me because its my birthday tomorrow!
3/3/06 - My Birthday!
We all dropped our campervans off this morning. Then spent a while looking for accomdation for the night. It was different being in Syndey because its definetly the busiest place we've been and we found it pretty hard to find a room for the four of us because its Mardi Gra at the mo the biggest Gay festival in the world!! so almost everywhere was fully booked and they all put their prices up.
So in the end we stayed in the Vibe hotel $200 for a room with two double beds so the four of us could fit! Its was our last night with Amy and Alex and my birthday so that night we went to Darling Harbour and had the best night out.
4/3/06 - Today was sad we said our goodbyes to Amy and Alex who'd we'd become really fond of. They were going to stay with Amys auntie who lives in Oz in Tarie. We couldnt afford to stay in the Vibe hotel another night so went to look for some hostels. We found a pretty cheap one called the Hyde park backpackers, in a good location.The rest of the day we spent getting lost round Syndey.
In the evening we watched the Mardi Gra parade is was so busy their where thousands of people out that night and most of the roads had been closed off specially. It was fun to watch all the gays prancing about in all their costumes.
5/3/06 - Went sightseeing round Syndey today and to the aquarium. The aquarium was really good we got to see penguins, seals, crocodiles and loads of sharks.
