So this is how it begins

---

I arrived in Sydney on the September 11th and off I went. I spent 4 full days here and did basically every tourist attraction and then some. Botanical gardens, opera house, harbour cruises, Circular Quay, Darling harbour, Hyde park, Manly beach, Kings Cross, etc .Colleen & Hillary arrived yesterday and we had an...interesting night in Kings Cross that led to a rough morning but overall a good time.

I'm a little sick of Sydney considering this is my third time here and doing it solo everytime. Its a big city with an enormous amount of men dressed up very nice. And tons of tourists. I felt pretty good when some other tourists were asking me for directions like I didn't look like one. While staying here I didn't meet one Australian which I think will be the trend as I head North. I want to stay in smaller towns to avoid the huge crowds.

I'm off to Port Stephens tomorrow where life should be a little slower.
