Day 1:
Arrived in the morning, didn't sleep on flight so we went straight to hostel (took 1 hour to find a hostel) and slept for 6 hours. Woke up around 6pm, looked around in the Cross, I still felt quite sick since HK so I had a salad. The Australian prices came as a shock. Kings cross didn't match my expectations, which is a good thing, it's in fact really nice, reminds me a lot of south Stockholm loaded with art deco cafés, restaurants, small boutiques etc. .. and lots of strip clubs and sex shops blended into that.
After dinner, we decided to check out the waterside so we took the subway to Circular quay where you have the amazing view over Sydney opera house and The Sydney harbour bridge. A-mazing.
Day 2:
Ran some errands in central Sydney and then head to George street to find out more about their iPhone deal since mine is broken. The price came as a shock. iPhone is twice as expensive as the Swedish one and I still had to join and pay a monthly fee for the same amount.
Josephine does't know how to travel and what places to see yet so we stole some brochures from several travel agencies in order to give her a little help. Checked out Darling harbour after Pitt street, I just knew it was there. Enjoyed a oily calamari plus chips meal while watching the sunset and feeding the seagulls, Josephine hates me for that, especially when 10 seagulls are surrounding us, making noise.
Day 3:
Manly ferry from Circular quay, that route took 35 min, 35min of constant fantastic view. Josephine saw a dolphine, I didn't. Manly was great, reminds me a little bit of the Belgian coast town Oostende, only thousand times better. Took Manly Jetcat back, 15 min instead, just more expensive.
Have anyone missed that Sydney is hosting World youth day and therefore having the biggest amount of visitors (over-excited, screaming Christian teens) at the time? Neither did we, what a big mistake. All the hostels are full-booked, crowded everywhere etc. Thank god that WYD is over after Sunday.
