Friday 5:50 AM Winnipeg Time – Friday 9:10 PM Sydney Time

We just arrived in Sydney tonight, and we are lying in bed…at 9pm. Jet lag sucks not going to lie but we do have a pretty busy day planned for tomorrow.

Our day at Venice Beach was absolutely amazing. There was so much going on and so much to see and miles and miles of beach. It was awesome. After we were done at the beach we went back to the hotel to get our luggage and change…freshen up a bit ya know! Or rather just change back into our shitty travelling clothes. Then we caught a shuttle to the airport and hung out there for a LONG time before we caught our 13 hour flight. We got onto the plane at our scheduled boarding time…I think it was around 11:15 and then Hannah and I both kind of fell asleep and woke up at 1:30 to find out that we still hadn’t left the terminal! The plane was delayed for some reason so we still weren’t in the air. Once we took off we got a meal pretty much right away…supper at 2 am. It was fantastic and then we both fell asleep for awhile and woke up on and off for the rest of the time. And we got breakfast in the morning. Then we got to the New Zealand airport where we had another 7 or so hours to kill. That airport was really really small though so that was a bit more difficult when it came to wasting time. We took a nap on the bench…Hannah got a massage…we did some yoga…played some cards. We’ve become good at killing time. Then we boarded our flight for SYDNEY!!! That flight was pretty great as well…we got fed again and this time it was tofu instead of beans so I was impressed, Hannah not so much. And we also got ice cream! And watched The Soloist and played with the most adorable little boy sitting next to us.

That leads us to tonight….me lying in bed writing this while I’m listening to people getting drunk and having fun and a really loud thunderstorm. Awesome. Tomorrow we are planning to go check out the botanical gardens and the oprah house. It’ll be a lot of walking but I think we are both really looking forward to it…I know I sure am. When we were getting our shuttle here from the airport, the city looked awesome. I can’t wait to go walk around and hang out here for the next week…or longer. Hannah and I were talking tonight about how awesome it is that we have like no plans. Just hanging out and deciding how long we want to stay in the city by whether or not we want to see more stuff.
