We've moved...

So we're at Sydney Central Backpackers now, and the internet connection is crap. I'm sitting in a shopping centre right now, where one hour costs 2$ (same as at the hostel), but it's quick, and it works all the time.  Gone are the times when we had unlimited internet access at all hours of the day.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: Updates are going to be a little less often...

We've been looking for cars, and it's frustrating as hell. The guys found a really cheap car the first day they were looking - they paid 650$ for a rust bucket and they had to take a four hour train ride to get it, but everything seems to be working, so... For us it's a little difficult, because we need a car that fits three. But we're going to get there eventually.

The hostel is pretty cool, it's more or less clean, but we did meet our first cockroach on our first night. Sadly, he died the next day... We'll miss him.
Unfortunately no pictures of the hostel OR the car yet, but I'll do my best to keep up.

The cockatoos at the Botanic Garden are at war with the pigeons.
No wonder, I mean who in their right mind likes pigeons...
One of the amazing things we discovered here was the Royal Botanic Garden. We were actually on our way to the Ferry Wharf and decided to take a shortcut through the Botanic Garden. But then we got stuck.


I've no idea what those are called, but they're beautiful, right?

There are incredible plants everywhere, cockatoos, parrots, other birds that I've never seen before... It's absolutely stunning, and you've got a view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

This was taken from the Botanic Garden.
 I guess if I was living in Sydney, I'd probably spend most of my time here.

Well, this is it for now, running out of time, we still have to look for cars. But I'll see if we have free internet access at the next hostel, and maybe then there'll be a bit more.
