I tried to have a lie in
this morning but I woke up around 8. I spent a couple of hours sorting out my
suitcase as it was my last day in Sydney. Around midday, James
dropped my off into the city at Pitt Street, which is the main shopping area,
as I had a few things I needed to get and sort before I left. I realised that my
leggings had ripped so I went to HnM to get a new pair. I had to take back
a bracelet I got in Adelaide, which had broken on my night out with Kath and Em
in St Kilda. I also got my fringe cut, which I had been meaning to do since I
got to Australia.
After I had wandered
around the Sydney Westfield, I walked to the Pylon lookout on Sydney Harbour
Bridge. I had been given a free entry ticket as part of my bridge climb, so
wanted to make the most of it. To get there I had to walk across the bridge and climb the stairs, which was really cool but quite tiring.
The pylon gave some great views of the harbour!
There was also a museum which had lots of info about how the bridge was
built.
I then walked to Circular
Quay to catch a ferry to Manly. The transport in Sydney is so cheap on a
Sunday, it only costs $2.50 max for as many journeys as you like on your Opal
Card. I had arranged to meet up with Charlotte and Megan who I had shared a
room with in Surf Camp. I caught the ferry and then walked to Manly Beach. They
had met loads of people on their Ultimate Oz tour, so I also met their friends
Lauren, Marlon, Tamsin, Matt and Cam.
We sat on the beach for a
bit chatting and watching people play volleyball. We then went and got some tea
at a café called Three Beans. We stayed there for a while planning our
trips up the East Coast, and then went to catch the ferry back to Circular Quay
at around 5.30ish.
The journey back was
really rough, and I was so glad I had taken sea sickness tablets. Lauren and I
went to the toilets when we got back and managed to lose the group for around
10 minutes which was quite funny. I then had to say goodbye to the group as
they were getting the train back to the city centre and I was getting a bus
back to James. We agreed we would all meet up along the East Coast.
I caught the bus straight
back to Roseberry and had dinner with James. I got a call from Kath and was
also able to skype my mum and luckily got to speak to Darren, Kim and Rhiannon.
It was so good to be able to see my little niece. I can’t believe how much she
has changed already!
After I had finished
chatting, I spent some time sorting my stuff out. As it was my last night, I
needed to pack everything up and get ready to move again. I was getting the
train early to Newcastle in the morning, so tried to get an early night.
