Well I've now arrived in Sydney, been here for a day now and I must say that although it is a nice city I'm not to sure. It feels like I'm in a city in England, an well that's not really what I'm looking for. Well I'm sure it would be a lovely city to live in one of the main reasons for coming on this trip was to experience new cultures and visit new interesting places. Also the backpacking culture feels different here to South Africa, although it may be just that I've chosen the wrong backpacker. Most people here seem to be foreigners working and there are none of the normal things like a bar and food.
Anyway I'm planning to go off to the Blue Mountains on Friday and I'm sure they are going to be beautiful.
Oh and just to cheer you all up over there with the cold and the snow, it's been raining here!
Lovely, so sorry I keep missing you :( I think you'll love the Blue Mountains, they're beautiful. Here's a message from your niece:

Blue mountains are one of the most beautiful places in the world. There used be a ye olde sweet shop in one of the villages. And I am sure it didn't rain for long before the sun came out again.
ReplyDeleteI remember that it was hot and sunny during the day and then it snowed in the evening! I also remember the sweet shop :q

Just to let you know that Mum's operation went well and she will be home tomorrow, Thursday, when she gets the use of her leg back. They pumped 12 syringes full of aneasthetic into her leg to keep it numb for 36 hours. When I went to see her this morning she was using a zimmer frame but she assures me that it is only until she gets the use back in her leg and foot.
