Australia pt. 1 Sydney

Well we've been in Oz just over a month now and have managed to fit quite a bit in in that time. We landed in Sydney at 5am with the sun rising and with nowhere else planned, we decided to head over to my mate Jarrods place who'd said we were welcome to visit for a few days.

The last time I stayed there, Jarrod was living in a student house in redfearn (sydneys equivalent of Brixton) which was caged up like fort knox and I slept on a mattress under the dining table. So, I wasn't expecting the Hilton.

It was a pleasant suprise then to get a reply saying he'd moved to north sydney. In fact, the immaculate 2 bedroom groundfloor appartment overlooking the harbour bridge and opera house was very nice indeed. So much so that we probably overstayed our welcome and spent 10 days there :D

In this time we walked around most of the city and visited most of the bars. We did however manage a 3 day trip out to the blue mountains, spent 2 days searching department stores for Kasias wedding outfit and of course going to my friend Guys wedding.

The wedding weekend was great fun and it was nice to meet up with old university friends again who I'd not seen for a few years.

(We've got loads more pictures from the wedding and sydney but I've gone and left the other memory card in Sydney so won't have them here again until NYE :/)
