Australian Travel Diary
April 2005 in Australia
Day 0 - Leading up to my decision to travelI didn't leave Liverpool until about 8pm on 1st April, so I counted this as Day 0 of my backpacking adventure, and simply detailed the long series of eventually that led up to my decision to go.
Day 1 - My flight through Kuala Lumpur to SydneyThe journey to Australia, through Malaysia, and some snippets of my insecurities.
Day 2 - Arrival in Sydney and Museum LodgeOff the plane into the Sydney sunshine, problems with telephones and time-zones, and my arrival at what I'd thought would be a nice guesthouse.
Day 3 - Settling in and Woolworths grocery shoppingResolving some of my insecurites, like phone charges and grocery shopping. I saw Sydney Opera House for the first time and got Nicole Kidman's autograph.
Day 4 - Checking out the backpacker district and Eva'sAdjusting my body clock to Australian time, and solving more of my little problems, as well as checking out Kings Cross for the time, and Eva's Backpackers hostel, which I'd been recommended.
Day 5 - Job agencies and swimming at Cook+Phillip fitness centreNot one to sit back and let the world pass by for too long, I began to search for a job. Oh yes, and pampered myself in the jacuzzi of the local fitness centre.
Day 6 - Internet cafes and alarm clock worriesA day of responding to emails and worrying about the tick-tock-tick-tocking of my alarm clocks.
