Sydney har varit en väldigt intressant stad. Operahuset, stränder, bad, utflykter, fina byggnader och spindlar...

Dag 1 av 5 =☀️+🚶

Vi anlände tidigt på morgonen och hade redan hittat till hostlet vi skulle stanna på vid 06.45.. Som tur var så öppnade en kille till oss och berättade att vi kunde hänga i TV rummet. Vilket vi också gjorde. Vi passade även på att sova några timmar till. 

På eftermiddagen bestämde vi oss för att gå in till staden och vidare på en gratis tour. På touren blev vi introducerade till Sydneys historia och hur det var en koloni 1877 där engelsmännen skickade 1000 fångar då de hade för många för att gå runt. Så Sydneys befolkning är grundade på kriminella människor! Vi fick höra om olika personer som var viktiga och vilka uppgifter de haft, även fångar som gjort succé och blivit frigivna. Vi fick se olika byggnader runt om i staden som var viktiga som byggts under tiden av olika fångar eller andra män. Jason, som guiden hette, berättade även om hur operahuset kom till. Visste ni att arkitekten var dansk?! Och även hur The Bay Bridge kom till och vilken flopp invigningen blev. Mycket intressant runda som vi alla uppskattade. 

I kid you not, this was a hot day! And what isn't more suitable than a beach day for such days? The beach we went to is called "Manly Beach" and is one of Sydney's most famous beaches. To get to Manly Beach we had to take a ferry which took around 30 minutes. After arriving to Manly we went straight to the grocery store and bought the meal for the day: Some fresh baked bread and a dip. I can just say that the bread and the beach was a perfect match!

BLUE MOUNTAINS

Monday was another really hot day. Just because we didn't have many days in Sydney we had to go hiking in the heat instead of taking another chill day at the beach. I had heard a lot of good things about it and that it was pretty. And pretty it was! Wow what a place. It's called The Blue Mountains because of the eucalyptust trees is speeding an oil that is laying down like blue fog over the forest. 

It took us about 2 hours to go there and the same home. So it got to be a long trip. 

The three sisters

After having such hot days before it started to rain. We where pretty tired after the day at the mountain so we took a sleep in morning, didn't really do anything. Mostly watched movies with our roomie. In the afternoon we finally got ourselves out of the hostel and luckily it stopped to rain so we went to ( I think) the most famous beach in Sydney, Bondi beach. There was a TV show which was filmed here which was one of Australia's biggest, Bondi Rescue. The series even won a Logie in 2008 as the Most Popular invoice program. So of course it's a touristy place now days. 

There is also a walk next to the ocean that we started wander. There was so many beautiful places to take pictures of so we did not walk far until we were stuck. 

We stayed there until sunset bodies going back to the hostel. 

We had heard about a place that was serving free pizza and Goon (wine) so of course that's were we went! We ended up partying the last night. 

Today we went on a walk to the city to spend some money we don't have 😂. We went for a walk to the city to go shopping for a few hours. After we were done it had started to rain again so we took the train back. We made food for lunch and packed some sandwiches for the bus ride. We also transferred a lot of our pictures from the cameras to our phones (which takes for ever!!). Then it was time to leave for the bus and here we are now.
