A bit of this and that...

ok... been a while since I've posted about what's been going on around here... I'm not going to try to remember which day was which, will be happy if I'm more or less complete... been to Manly beach last week... you have to take a ferry from Circular quay for that, which is nice by itself, seeing the Opera house from the other side for once... met up with a brasilian girl who's been studying in Sydney for some years already, who showed me around the place for a bit... the weather was excellent at the time we had left, but about an hour after arriving in Manly, it got quite clouded... had a nice time there though... Think that was monday now I'm thinking of it... Tuesday was mostly making practical arrangements.. like the adress and bank account and so on as you can see below... Wednesday I went to the Blue mountains... had a good walk up there, but it was so foggy, I couldn't even see the three sisters - one of the most famous attractions of the region... did see some nice waterfalls though, and it was nice to be outside of the city for a while... met up with a bunch of people from northern ireland during that day... and had some nice pizza with them before returning to sydney again... in the next few days, I went to the Museum of Contemporary Arts.. which had an exhibition by young ozzy artists on... and the Aquarium... where you can see fish from all sides... they have these tunnels under the tanks so sharks, turtles and rays are swimming all around you... there's even a tank where you can touch Port Jackson sharks... And for the kid reader's of this blog... I did find Nemo... he's got a lot of kids by now as well... Although the animals are in captivity, the Aquarium's definitely worth going to... I'd like to meet some of these animals in the wild, while diving... but not all of them... Yesterday went to Bondi beach, with two German girls from the hostel, and an English guy... the weather was a little better than on Maly, but still not like you'd expect an Australian beach to be... oh well, it's still springtime... it'll get better I'm sure... and it was a nice place to be at anyways... not as much surfing going on as I expected either, due to not enough waves I guess...
pictures will be added soon, camera's charging... allthough you shouldn't expect beachpics just yet... forgot the camera both times ;o)) Will try to think of it next time... Oh, and off course i met a lot of nice people at the hostel again... people keep coming and going... had some fun party nights in between of all this touristy stuff, and am still definitely not regretting coming here... and I had vegemite for the first time... came with some soup i ordered somewhere in the Rocks... it's actually quite good... wonder why everyone says it's so awful...
