First day in Australia!

We got up bright and early in Fiji and checked out of our hostel. The woman never asked if we had a tab so we couldn't answer the question. It would have been yes but that's not the point. We walked fairly fast to our taxi and hopped in. We got to the airport and broke out the cable ties to make our bags as handling proof as possible. All tied up we stood in the Q and waited. We checked I'm fine and proceeded to the anti terror department where we were deemed not to be terrorists and we were allowed to fly. We had a look around the airport, the terminal being about the size of a hamster cage and found a seat. Our plane was called nice and quick and we boarded. Upon getting to the aircraft the cabin hostess crew lady told us we were upstairs! We were on a Boeing 747 (big plane). I thought upstairs was 1st class but it wasn't sadly but it was however away from everyone else and there were about 50 of us upstairs so it was fairly quiet. We approached the runway and said goodbye to Fiji. We held hands as the engines spooled up and we shot down the runway. It wasn't a long runway in the slightest so we had to be off the ground quickly and we were! With not much Tarmac to spare haha! Looking down on Fiji is much better in the day than at night. You can see things not just the occasional light! The sea was beautiful and you can see all the coral from above. We settled down and had breakfast and a lovely cup of tea. The films weren't working for some reason. We could only assume they were on Fiji time and still asleep so we amused ourselves until we had a sleep. We approached Australia and started to descend. We flew straight over Sydney seeing the bridge and opera house before flying over many buildings before we touched down. Another brilliant landing. We got through immigration fine until we got to customs. Here is where we thought things would get interesting. However we just said no to everything and they were pretty happy. They just wanted to see our shoes to make sure we weren't going to contaminate their country! They were happy that we were clean and we got straight through. No idea what all the fuss about Australian customs is about! We went through the terminal and found our transfer to our hostel. Seeing Sydney on the way to our hostel and it looks like a cross of America and England it's very weird. Anyway we got to our hostel and went to our rooms it's pretty nice it's only a 4 bed dorm. We went straight out to explore the local neighbourhood it looked fairly poor, no different to the back streets of Brighton but all had expensive cars? We got further into the town and saw loads of AMG Mercedes, Ferraris, Range Rovers, even a new Rolls Royce! So people don't seem to be short of cash here! We did out shopping for dinner, our hostel has a great kitchen so we an cook for ourselves. We grabbed some mince, tomatoes, onion and pasta to make a nice plate of pasta. It turned out ok actually! Later on in the evening one of the staff at the hostel was doing free toasties so we made good use of that! We did a little computer work and went to bed.
