Goodbye Sydney
I’m sat here with 3 hours to go before I leave Sydney and I actually feel quite sad. I’v become quite fond of the old Roof Top Lodge. I’m quite gutted that I’m leaving as I’ve just started to get to know some of the people here, I know it’s taken 6 weeks but it is actually quite hard to get to know the residents here. The only time you tend to meet people is cooking or randomly in the corridor and you can go weeks without seeing them again.. Not long after we got here I bumped into Katie who I met in Cairns but then I didn’t see her again until about a week ago- turns out she’s been living here all this time! We caught up for a much needed catch up on the rooftop with the aid of a couple of bottles of wine! She’s really nice and lives in Nottingham so hopefully we’ll meet up when we’re home. I’ve just said goodbye to her and I do actually feel quite sad to say goodbye :( It’s time to leave Sydney though, I prefer Melbourne and funnily enough that’s where we’re headed now. I’ve got a 12 hour coach trip ahead of me but it’s overnight so hopefully I’ll sleep for most of it. Just hope I don’t have anyoneone that snores near me! Kate and Louise left yesterday on the Oz Experience so they’ll be joining us later on.
Sydney summed up: hectic especially about 4/5 ‘o clock when just about everyone barges into you; massive; full of weirdos; expensive…hmm doesn’t this sound like any other major city?! Sydney’s OK it’s got nice places and crappy places and there’s quite a bit for tourists to see but I prefer the smaller cities to actually live in. Anyway I’d better go and finish getting sorted I’v got a coach to catch.
