Day 1

Well, we made it to Sydney nice and early this morning after our lonnng ass plane flight.. and i realized that paying the extra 20 bucks or whatever for the quantas flight would've been better... better food, free drinks, and your own tv with games. o well. we made it!

At the airport, opal the quanantine dog sniffed out this biscuit that i threw in my backpack from our lovely breakfast this morning... i think it actually worked to our advantage because my entry card got tagged with opals name and we got a kinda fast pass through the quarantine line... just so we could wait in line forever for our taxi! where we met our really special cab driver... he was very nice and helpful and didnt charge us for driving us all over sydney since we had a communication error and ended up on the wrong king street in the wrong suburb. Perfect start to the day! driving down the main stretch at 7 am and see all these wasted people in the clothes from the night before because they thought the party was still going was the highlight of my day!

We eventually found Jaqi and stopped by her simple, little smelly apartment before walking the whole city, see darling harbour, the sydney harbour with the bridge and the opera house. We then went to Pancakes on the rocks where we devoured our first meal.. chocolate pancakes with ice cream!! yesss. and strawberries! we then headed to the paddy markets where we found all types of neat cheap things before we went to jaqi's uni... aka hogwarts! the university of sydney is straight out of harry potter for sure. and we wandered over to the oval and caught a half of a rugby match.. footy rules we decided. and we caught on to the scoring method! and now were all very sleepy and taking over the computer lab in the study room? or whatever this may be...

So, nothing over the top exciting, but a solid good first day :) tommorrow were going to hoochi mammas for breaky and later to susans to visit with her in bronte beach, where we can walk to beautiful bondi along the water.. on tuesday its off to find our wicked van and head up the coast! whooo! gotta find the rtma for our free map first though! wherever in the world that may be! k were safe and good! and my phone is working if its an emergency for a low cost of 1.21 a minute or something crazy like that! hopefully ill get up pictures soon too :) adios!!!!
