Sydney/canberra update!:D


Hey, guys!:) 
Sorry it's been a while, I've been up to a lot, time to fill you in!!:)
So, starting with canberra ... It's a lovely, beautiful city aha. However, during the day it's absolutely dead!! There's museums and stuff, and a shopping centre etc ... But yeah aha not really much going on. All the girls in my room, too, barely spoke to me, ahahah so it really wasn't a very good first experience in a you hostel. LUCKILY 2 saviours in th shape of 2 lads, daz and Conall, from Leeds and Northern Ireland, rescued me aha.i was in the tv room, watching Geordie shore (and hence feeling happy about my intelligence aha) from the back when Conall asked if I knew how to turn the heaters on the balcony on. I had no idea but someone was talking to me !! Ahahaha, so yeah they were lovely. They managed to convince me that the only good thing about canberra was the night life ... And we'll, I went out with them, and it was actually insane. The Reason why the town is so dead in the day is because everything is closed, it's a very nocturnal place aha! The guys went to the pub for the lions game (wooooop!!!) and met them after, yes it was fun, I'm s glad I went out aha. The next morning, I was up bright and early, clocked out before 9 and to the Salvation Army I'd found I went!! It was so funny, getting everything properly into my backpack again ahaha, and this time I outfit properly on my back.... Soooo heavy ahaha. But. Made it to the church in good time! Was greeted by to know, one of the colonel's or something, but yes everyone was lovely and it was a cute service aha - the brass band playing shine Jesus shine and all!i had a ball from the back, ahaha and set off soon after for the greyhound terminal for my bus. This time ... It was a luxury bus, ahaha I was treated!!! Free water for everyone, wifi, plug sockets, TVs the works!! Shame that no-one was replying ahah, and I fell asleep for the 3 hour journey to Sydney. And when we got there ... The sun was out !! Is so much warmer he compared to canberra- the coldest place apparently. So yes, that eve I' met Christine, in my room, and we went for Chinese in china town (I managed fried chicken and rice) with another friend of hers, Hannah which was lovely. After I also met up with Conall again, who happened to be coming here too the same day- but on the train aha! We had a lovely catch up about the night before over jugs of beer in maloneys- only $7, bargain!! Then I went to bed ahaha, I was very tired. Monday ... Oh yes!! Suchhhh a good day, so in the day Christine and I did the bondi beach to coogee beach walk:D it was sooo lush, I want to live in bondi, literally! I think I'm going to stay there after the 3 nights I've booked in the new hostel I'm staying in tonight, this one was recommended and ah. I'm so excited, there were so many runners, I'm going to runnnnn so much when m there!!its like 17 degrees, not hot but it cold, still needed a jumper but may have tanned a little aha ? So that should bring me to Sunday where ill go to the newfrontiers church here. Ahhhhhhhhhh and you'll never guess what !!! We saw whales !!! From the coast, ahhhhnit was it amazing ahah. We weren't even expecting to see any, but it really was insane, so excited to go to hervey bay and see so many more of them:D they were flipping and turning and everything!!! Anyway, we went for lunch in coogee (an expensive but lovely burrito for me) then got the bus back to the hostel. The mm ..... We went to Madame Tussaud's waxworks !! Ahhhh I was a little apprehensive, Christine loves it, she wants to go to all the ones in the world aha, but I'm so glad I went. I'm probs never going to go again, so it was worth the $38 entrance fee! We had suchhhh good fun!! It was also in darling harbour, which was such a lush place and I'm so glad I got a chance to go there and see it. Then when we got back to the hostel, we met up with another room mate maya, who was talking about going to surrey hill to have a look around. So that's what we did, and after trawling the streets and menus we finally found a place to eat!! I was lush actually. There was jazz playing. But like they kept on changing all of the band member ahaha, it was sooo good! Some lush beer and food, peng a leng. Apart from Christine ordering creeps which were advertised outside, they were $12 so we were expecting alot aha .. But they were tiny. Also she was expecting banana inside, haha but it was just cream!M what a failure, so she ordered the thickest, soupiest mac and cheese to eat after which was pure entertainment to watch her consume ahaha. It was such a good night, but I have bad news ... I keep catching accents !! At first it was just the Aussie one every now and then, which I am trying not to do, but Christine is Canadian and maya is American .... So we were all quite confused ahaha! I also made them relax by confirming that even English people ant understand me sometimes, I speak so fast aha. I'm teaching them skills in understanding the English accent ! Ahaha, it was so so funny.
So now it's Tuesday, and I've checked out of the railway square yha and dropped my stuff off at my new one, maze, right in the town centre too. Imin McDonald's atm, trying to get Internet but failing an - but this blog needed to be written !.,
It's probably really long again, but ah well. Hope you enjoyed reading it, if you ,managed to the end !!:)) 

Big love kiddies! Miss you all!!
