Long Way Back Home

So I am now as far away from home as I'm going to get!
It's very cold here, and there's been quite a lot of drizzly rain, but when the sun has been shining it's quite pleasant! I'm staying in the biggest YHA in Australia, and it's brilliant! There's a pool, a sauna, 2 fully eqipped, enormous kitchens, a supermarket, bar, cafe, internet, cinema....it's brilliant! Each night they show a film and have a themed dinner - last night was make your own pizza and tonight is Thai night I think. They also arrange trips around town and to local music venues etc so I might do that one evening. I'm sharing a dorm with another English girl and 2 aussie girls - all very nice.
My plane landed at about 5am on tuesday so I got to the hostel, put my bags in storage and crashed out on a sofa in the common room for a few hours before heading to Circular Quay for the Opera House and the bridge. Sydney is lovely, it seems really clean and modern and nicely organised! A lot of the time you could be back in any major city in England, especially when most of the roads are names after English towns!
Yesterday I explored a little more, and took a boat around the harbour as the sun was setting behind the bridge - beautiful (but freezing!). This afternoon I will head to the Museum of Sydney and then try and get a ticket for West Side Story at one of the big theatres here.
For some reason this computor crashes when I try to upload photos, so you'll just have to wait for them!
