It was our last day in Sydney and so we repacked our suitcases and mentally prepared to say goodbye to the space, the amazing bed, the en-suite bathroom etc. etc. We then walked to town to buy Lynda and Ron some Thank You flowers. Once we were ready, we jumped in to a taxi which took us to where we needed to catch the Greyhound bus. A bit sad to leave Sydney, but ready for the adventures to continue! We grabbed a Chinese meal from a small cafe called the Asian Cookery School, which was surprisingly well cooked and filled us up to! The bus was full so we didn’t get to sit together, but Amanda met a really interesting girl from San Diego so got to know her a bit better – she had been to New Zealand before coming to Australia and was really interested in the different fashions between the countries and her own – something that hadn’t even occurred to tomboy Amanda, but great to hear about. She was 30 and a bit fed up of over-partying 18 year olds – it is obvious out here if you are that bit older than the majority of people on ‘Gap Years’, but everyone’s here doing their own thing. We get to see so much more of the country whilst the ‘youngies’ are hungover sleeping in.
