Home Sweet Sydney

I arrived to Sydney around 10:40am (16 hours ahead of you east coasters) and to my astonishment I got my bags without any problems. I took a shuttle to my hostel and heaved my bags up the stairs to my tiny little 5 bunk beds bedroom. This hostel is pretty much one step above camping and it's not where I plan on spending most of my time this week besides when I'm sleeping. But the shower was AWESOME! I hadn't had a shower since the morning I left San Fran, so it felt nice to get clean. Here are some sad pictures of my room:

Once I was fresh and clean, clean, I took a walk down to Hyde Park-it was close by and I'd wanted to check it out anyway. It was really pretty and I got to experience a little of Australia's wildlife too. I'm not sure it it was a rat that ran by my foot or what....

And if you're wondering how I got that picture of myself, it was taken by one of two Mormans who were trying to convert me in the park. I told them no thank you but could they please take my picture. Haha

After the park I got some dinner and then went to BED! As uncomfortable as those little bunk beds look, it was like heaven when my head hit that pillow.
