Sleep Tight.......

Well, it's bucketing it down outside so that means blog time.

We have recently moved into our new flat which is located on the corner of Oxford Street next to Hyde Park (yes, we are still in Sydney!). For those who don't know Sydney too well, Oxford Street is the Gay section and is littered with bars like The Tool Shed, The Tool Box, The Lick-Her Store and so on - very classy! The flat has 1 bedroom and is located on the 15th (top) floor of the building. We have a nice view of the Botanical gardens and Opera house, and at night the bats (flying foxes) fly past our balcony. There's plenty of room for vistors to so if anyone fancies a trip to Sydney you'll have free accomodation and tour guides.

Prior to our move into the flat, and our last week or so in the hostels we managed to pick up some nasty little bed bugs that took a liking to nikki's blood while I don't think I got bitten once. The YHA threw us out so we spent a night washing everything we owned in hot water and moved to another hostel.

We are really enjoying our time in Sydney and have been spending lots of time with Nikki's friend Jenny who's also found work and a flat here. We spent last weekend at Manly beach and hired surf and body boards attempting to fit in with the locals, however, after being stung by a blue bottle (http://www.australianfauna.com/bluebottlejellyfish.php) in a particularly sensitive place, I decided I had enough of the water for the day.

Its the 75th anniversary of the Harbour bridge this Sunday so we will be going out to watch some fireworks for the night followed by the Liverpool - Aston Villa game which starts at 12:45am!

Pictures to follow.
