I only have a short amount of time here as I arrived Monday morning and I leave tomorrow morning but I still managed to pack in the activities.
Firstly starting with The Opera House and Habour Bridge. I did these on the first day I arrived even though my body was telling me to go to bed after traveling for twelve hours on the night bus, I refused to give in and off I set. From where I am staying it was very easy to find and took about twenty five minutes to walk there. I have to say the Opera House was not what I expected. I really thought it would be a lot bigger. Not that it failed to impress. Around the area was pretty quiet so I had a lot of opportunities to get some good pictures. The bridge was well, a bridge. It was nice but really it was just a bridge and there is not a lot I can write about that.
Whilst I was out there was a huge thunder storm and I got caught nicely in the rain. I swear literally everywhere I go it rains. Anyway it reminded me of England which was nice. Actually saying that Sydney is very similar to London. They even have a Hyde Park and Oxford Street.
Yesterday I went to see the Blue Mountains. I had never heard of them before but it was recommended to me so off I went on another bus to see what they had to offer. The first thing I will say is mountains they are not. More like really large hills and this comes from someone who has spent many years attempting and failing miserably trying to ski down some. Anyway saying that the one thing I cannot fault is the views. I got some amazing pictures and it was so peaceful up there. Would I recommended it? Yes, however don't expect to be trekking up Everest.
Today was the day I did something I genuinely did not think I would ever do - surfing. For my birthday my brother and sister in law bought me a gift voucher to have a lesson on Bondi beach so I thought why the heck not, when in Rome and all that. Was I any good? Well all I can say is sorry Mum and Dad I won't be heading to star as an extra in Hawaii 5-0 anytime soon. I did however really enjoy it and did manage to stand up a couple of times (I feel that was more due to luck than skill though).
Anyway now to the most exciting part of my day. Ladies are you ready for this? Whilst I was on my way to my lesson who else would be on the beach having a lesson with the same surf school as me? Only Mr "PS I love you" himself, yes that's right Gerard Bulter! Ahhhh! Unfortunately I couldn't get any pictures as there is not much room in a wetsuit to carry a camera however we did share a moment when he placed his board down and I quickly claimed it as mine to use. Had I not wanted to waste the great birthday pressie I think we would have run away together and lived happily ever after unfortunately it was not meant to be.
Anyway time to head off for a shower as unlike some girls I do not rock the sea salt hair wet look!
