Jeff and Chels' Travel Adventures

So as you can tell by our title we are still in Sydney. Our first 3 days in Bondi were nice except the weather was crap. We went out with our friend Dan on Saturday night which was a lot of fun. Grabbed a bite and went out on the town with him and his friends. We were supposed to go to the Sydney festival but the weather put a damper on the show we were supposed to go to apparently but we still had a great time. Dan showed us the sights and toured us around the town before hand too which was nice. A long night but well worth it. We arrived in downtown Sydney yesterday by bus and train- the train system is pretty incredible! Our hostel here, the Railway Square YHA, is really really nice...its fairly new and really more like a hotel. We wandered over to Darling Harbour yesterday and today we went to the Aquarium. We have booked until Wednesday at this hostel and were going to move on to Newcastle but have decided to stick around as Australia day is on Saturday so why not be in Sydney for that. So we are booking a surf trip for wed-fri and then will stay here again on fri-sun. The weather is supposed to clear...we hope they are right as this rain is getting right old fast. We saw the sun a little bit yesterday but only for about an hour and we were soaked once again. Oh well, still making the best of it. Hope all is well at home. Rumor has it you had a little snow back in  Van....hahaha! enjoy!
