I've arrived!

So - I'm in Australia! Feels a bit weird, but pretty cool. Had a fun few weeks in London catching up with friends and family but it's excitng to get away again. This is more of the holiday part of my gap year! The flight was fine, long and boring but that was to be expected. They did that annoying thing of giving us breakfast at what felt like 1am because they were trying to get us onto Singapore time, then I got lunch on the next plane at about 5am. Strange. Slept most of the way from Singapore to Sydney though which was ok. Was met by Jason, friend of my godmother Lucy, who have very kindly agreed to have me to stay for my first few days in Sydney. They have a 2 year old, Maddie, and a 4month old, Charlotte - so cute! And a lil fluffy dog called Rastas. Was a very comfy first night's sleep! Today haven't done much except get myself sorted with an Australian SIM card and start getting in contact with people. Went to the shops a bit nearby with Lisa and the kids so it's been quite a relaxing first day which is good coz i'm still pretty tired. Tomorrow Maddie is going to day care in the centre so they're gonna drop me there and can pick me up when they pick up Maddie, unless I manage to find my way back here! So will have the chance to start investigating the delights of Sydney. Was gorgeously sunny today, lets hope it's the same tomorrow. I'll hopefully get to meet up with Sam, a second cousin of mine, who's at Uni but has exams coming up (otherwise I'd be staying with him) so I'm planning on spending more time in Sydney at the end of my trip when Sam's not so busy. So yea, I'm fine. It's exciting being at the beginning of a new adventure! Hope all's well...keep in touch! X
