We’ve arrived in the Big Hostel right in the heart of downtown Sydney that’s just a 15 minute walk to the Sydney Opera House. I’m sitting in the common room that’s pretty nice where travellers are eating breakfast and we’re waiting for our room to be de-occupied. Coffee is definitely needed right now at 7:46am. The 7-hour bus ride here was absolutely horrible. The Serbian bus driver was crude and grumpy. My mom went up to him afterward and said thank you in Italian, and all he could say was, “You can’t guess my nationality. English is fine, thanks.” In addition there were two stinky backpackers that were sitting in the two seats in front of mine and Ashley’s. I wanted to cry. Ashley and I huddled together with a wet wipe in our hands, just smelling it to get rid of the body odour intoxicating us. I was tempted to throw a wet wipe on top of their heads but then I regained my sense of manners and told myself no. Once we got off the bus and fresh air was in me, I relaxed my cringing body and could finally see clear the pure magnificence of where I am. The city of Sydney is enticing and I’m excited to discover this new part of Australia.
I’ll be updating you more often now that there’s free Wi-Fi here!
Love,
Elle. xoxo
