My first days in Sydney

Well my first few days consisted of sleeping and tryin to find the right bank...
The first day i arrived i chatted with Maureen and had a shower...nearly4 days in the same clothes i tell you they nearly walked off me...and slept.Woke up at 7am!!...very unusual for me...and headed into town(the city) with a small map and an address.I must have walked for 2 hours up and down George st before i found USIT and the right branch of ANZ banks...and after all the trouble i had trying to get a credit card at home the just handed me one here....i didnt even ASK for it!!!went home ad sat down to watch a film....at 4pm i went to bed and woke up at 8am the next day (today)stupid jetlag.....so i decided to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.got on the bus with my map and found them.....i was gobbed smacked!!!...It hadnt hit me that i was in Australia til i saw them..i sat for 3! hours just looking trying to convince myself it wasnt a dream and that i was actually there...at 12pm a load of soldiers came over and let off 21 cannon shots for the Queens birthday that was kinda cool...and loud.on the Quay i saw some aboriginals playing their didgeridoos. I met up with Ashling and her friend and took a ferry to Manley island...when we got there we found out there was a wine and food festival.so we paid $7 dollars for our wine glasses that came with a holder that strapped around your neck!CLASS!!!! then $5 for a big glass of wine.we got some Indian food and sat on the beach watchen the surfer dudes and drinking our wine...got a late ferry back and got to see the harbour at night...tried to take some photos but my battery died(typical).It was a really sunny day...people keep telling me i brought the sun with me cause the weather has been so crap lately!il post the pic's on facebook ASAP but i didnt bring the wire for my camera and Christophers computer doesnt have a bit to put in my memory card and theres no wireless for me to go on my laptop....Ce la vie
