Manly

Is the name of the suburb I'm in right now. Cool huh? It's a 30 minute ferry ride across the harbour from Circular Quay, and it's got a gorgeous beach - the whole white sand/blue sea thing, lots of people surfing, some beach volleyball...it's just like on TV.

Yesterday was spent hanging out on Oxford Street, which is very different from London Oxford Street, but does have fun shops. I bought some sandals to replace my flip-flops that broke. We also discovered a wonderful bookshop/cafe called Gertrude and Alice which is just so cool - I think I'll try to work there. OK, so the bookshop/cafe thing is a bit self-consciously trendy but it's such a nice place. I had a soy latte: I felt like Madonna.

Sydney is still fun and sunny, but that's all the news you're going to get for the moment as my 20 minutes internet time is rapidly running out.
