We're Here!

We are just getting settled into our apartment in Adelaide, and finally have some free time to blog a bit about our trip.  Spending New Years in Sydney was a once in a lifetime experience and was totally worth it! I have never seen such an extravagant fireworks show.  Even though it may seem uncomfortably tight, squeezing in with over 20,000 people to watch the fireworks on the harbor was actually quite fun.  It made the event more exciting and was a great way to meet new people.  We also got a chance to visit Bronte and Bondi beach which was amazing! Definitely worth seeing for whoever makes it out to Sydney.

We arrived in Adelaide yesterday to our hostel for the night and it was completely deserted...guess everyone likes to sit inside for the holidays?  The only thing we saw nearby were a few tumbleweeds and a naked man.. but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.  We were also welcomed with some of the hottest weather the state has seen in ten years! About 102 degrees during the day...who knew it would be so hot! Other than that, we just got all moved in to our apartments and are ready to hit the beaches!

Oh...and note to all student travelers.. pack LIGHT because they really get you with those hidden baggage fees no one told us about flying from Sydney to Adelaide. There goes that bottle of Penfolds Grange we wanted to buy...
