Jen's adventures in Australia
Wed Sep 24

Hey everyone,

Sorry it took so long to post on here.

We arrived in Sydney on Tuesday, September 23, around lunch time (our time, not yours). Got a ride to our hostel (Sinclairs of Bondi - 27 Paul Street for those of you who want to google map it). Ben and I went to the beach right away. Bondi beach is about a 20 minute walk from our place. Tons of shops along the way to the beach as well. We’re also about a 5 minute walk to one of the biggest malls in Australia - Westfield Mall. Its huge, and the nicest mall by far that i’ve ever seen. Everything looks so high class.

We’ve been going to bed too early and waking up early, but trying our best to get on Sydney time. The first night we got woken up around 3 am by some drunk guy that is staying in our building, but last night was fine.

We went to the beach again yesterday, and found a place that had a deal on for japanese food, a glass of wine and a movie at the movie theatre at the mall. We decided to treat ourselves and go there. We ate our food, (mine was terrible) and got our movie vouchers but by the time we were done (around 7:30pm) we were so tired and wouldnt have been able to handle sitting through a movie. Maybe we’ll go tonight.

For those of you who know about the problem we had with our hostel - we got it fixed and are going to be staying for the correct number of nights that we paid for. We really like the place we’re staying at, and the people are great, and we asked if it would be possible to extend our stay for another week. Unfortunately Ben got an email from the guy that owns the place saying that we could only stay for an extra 3 days, and it would be a higher price than what we are paying right now. So we are going to look for a new place to stay for next week.

Anything else you guys want to know about right now, ask, and ill try and get back to you.

Hope everything is going okay back at home. I miss you.
