Day 22: The Blue Mountains, Australia
February 17, 2023 — The Blue Mountains are located about two and a half hours by train from Sydney. It was part of my original itinerary to stay in the mountains for a few days, at the YHA in Katoomba, but because I wasn’t able to book the Tasmania tour I had originally planned on,…

Day 20: Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia
February 15, 2023 — This morning dawned warm and sunny (thank goodness!) following the previous day’s rain.

Day 19: Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia
February 14, 2023 — Happy Valentine’s Day, it’s raining! Bondi Beach had a day of really steady rain which started around mid-morning. The morning yoga on the roof (which I didn’t manage to wake up for) at 8:00am got rained out and they wound up inside, as I heard from some of my roommates who…

February 12, 2023 — I woke up and got moving a little earlier this morning. My plan was to explore the Rocks area, which is all that remains of the old part of Sydney. As you’ll remember from my walking tour day, the city originally wanted to bulldoze the whole area in favour of building…

Day 15: Sydney, Australia
February 10, 2023 — Hello and good morning on another beautiful day in Sydney, Australia! I woke up with a plan to head to the wharf in Circular Quay and just get on whatever ferry struck my fancy to head to the beach. Turned out, the ferry that I wanted that morning was heading to…

Day 14: Sydney, Australia
February 9, 2023 — On my first full day in Sydney, I booked in for the I’m Free Walking Tour that runs daily at 10:30am. I booked it the day before and got the last slot available for the day! As the name implies, it’s free, but they still have you sign up for a…

Day 13: Sydney, Australia
February 8, 2023 — When I finally got myself and my bag (which wound up squished to the back of the luggage area) off the coach, I made my way to the bathroom first and to the hostel second. I settled my bags into a locker for safe storage while I waited for it to…
