Sunday 4th August Tourist day in Sydney

Today we stuck to the plan and headed out for the general sights in Sydney. We took a long walk down to the Botanic Gardens first which was lovely saw lots of interesting birds and such like. After passing through the gardens we saw the Sydney Opera house. All very lovely and classic tourist photos taken we moved onto the Sydney Harbor Bridge, again same photos very lovely. 
After this well we were a little stuck of what to do, so we wondered around for a while until we found the Sydney observatory.  We spent a good while looking around there and took in the view in the sun and decided to head back.
We wondered through some markets and shops when we found a sweet shop which made rock with all different shapes inside it. [Again back to the food blog] 
It was amazing to watch them cut it up, they just shattered the ends off long sticks of rock and sized them perfectly each time. We watched for a while and got a free sample which was very nice. If were back in the area we shall acquire some more as it was very yummy (:
Continuing our journey back to the hostel there were even more street performers than before and we stopped to watch a few, the first being a contortionist which was very good she put herself into a rather small box and we were off again. Next were some aboriginals playing didgeridoos, they were better than all at the leaving party. [sorry guys]
 Back past the bridge, Opera house and through the Botanical Gardens and we were in Coles. 
Coles is where we have been doing all our food shopping, best part is they have an English food department. So far we have managed to restrain from buying silly English things but today my eyes got the better of me and Dairy Milk was purchased. Dinner things bought we headed back to the hostel.
We like Australia but strange things are expensive here like biscuits and any fruit and veg. Therefore we shall be unhealthy and live on steak as its bloody cheap over here!! [Food blog bit over]
After our very cheap dinner of noodles and fried eggs the Australian phone rang!! [Very exciting indeed] Here's me thinking we may have got a job, Myles ran off somewhere quiet came back and announced that we were going out. Today someone called about us buying a car. We have decided against a van because they are grubby and are so obvious that we are backpackers. So after looking into a few things we have decided to get a 4 wheel drive and went to look at a Subaru Legacy WXR 2.2L!! Wow... For Australia this seems to be a fairly small engine as most seem to be 6.2Ls!!!
We met a German chap called Tim who had just finished traveling in Australia. We looked at the car and drove it around the car park. We are having a proper test drive later in the week so will let you know how it goes then!!
It seems pretty good so far so fingers crossed we will have transport soon which will make job hunting much easier for both of us!!
Thats about it for today really. 
Lots of love until next time! xxx
