What to do when you have a week off in Sydney?

Well chill out on the rooftop of the Wood Duck Inn, go to the beach, go for a walk, enjoy the sun, walk around the city centre.... so many options...

Finally I spent my monday and tuesday in Manly which I really enjoyed, nice quiet beach... on wednesday as I was forced to clean every step in the hostel part of my morning cleaning task I was late and a bit tired to make my way anywhere, so I just fell asleep in Hyde Park. Finally on Friday, I used all the strengths I had left to walk from Coggee to Bondi.. An amazing walk, the scenerey is just beautiful, on the way you go through 2 more beaches where ppl are either sunbathing, enjoying a bbq (yeah there are free public bbqs on all of sydney's beach!) or surfing... and I finally got to the most famous beach in all Australia (well I think as I heard this name so many times!) which wasn't so impressive but still the sand was really soft (pictures of the walk below). On Saturday I went to the cosiest neighborood: Glebe, surrounded with Library hiding a little cafe at the back, it felt like a place where I would see myself living. I headed to the market in the morning nothing compared to the markets in Thailand but there was still loads of interesting stuff to buy... I took this opportunity to get a new book, well not so new as I purchased The Alchemist, I read some years ago but it felt right to read it again now.

I finally spent my afternoon working on my tan on Coggee beach and went for my first swim in the Tasmanian Sea (well a bit colder than the sea in Thailand but you could still get in without shivering as you would obviously do if you were swimming in Brittany!!!)

That same night, I ended up going out with a few ppl from the hostel which was really good fun, we went out for a few drinks in the Gaff hmm sorry a few free drinks :D and ended up in a place called Candys... well the music wasnt so good, I think they need our european Djs, as I had already experienced 2 weeks ago the same feeling... a dj playing the same beat over and over again so it turned out to be an early night watching Scary Movie 4 in the TV Room :D

Apart from all that, I am doing really well, I have met up with loads of people here although I miss you all, I am quite happy to be where I am now :)
