Day 3 - Bondi beach

Hello!

So today we headed off to Bondi beach on the bus. Public transport here works like London where you load money onto a card and use that instead of money. So we grabbed a bus and headed to the beach.

It is SO beautiful. I’m not even apologising for the photos on Facebook. It was genuinely that beautiful.

So we had a game of football, had a swim and came back to the hostel ready for our intro week to start.

Laters :)

Things I’m thankful for....

A proper update soon but things I’m thankful for tonight: Being in a hostel Being in an actual bed Being in an actual bed in an actual building Air conditioning The continuous threat of mosquitoes eating me whilst I’m asleep is less of a threat - although there still is that threat, significantly less so tonight. The dawn chorus is not going to wake me up at 5am That I’ve come to bed at 10pm and everyone else in my dorm is thinking the same thing  Free WiFi So basically, to sum up what I’m thankful for: That I’m not in a god damn tent.

But I didn’t see one kangaroo?!

Today I’m leaving Canberra. I’m a little sad to be leaving as I’ve totallg fallen in love with the city, but I feel I have seen most of it now so time to move on. I’m sad leaving El too - it’s been great seeing her and I’m looking forward to her next visit to the UK! A little apprehensive about the next few weeks. Since I’ve been here I’ve had a safety net - Joy and Frank, El, Intro Travel - now I’m by myself. I’ve organised everything so it should all go to plan and I’m sure I’ll be okay once I get into it!! So the last couple of days have been really chilled. I spent about 4 hours yesterday organising the next 4 weeks so it was good to get time and a computer to do that with. There are TONNES of Crossfit boxes in Canberra. I was spoilt for choice. However, the downside to Canberra is that you need a car to get anywhere. It’s very spread out and unfortunately, I just couldn’t get to the boxes. My shoulder has been particularly painful the last couple of days too and I have no ide

Whistle stop tour of Canberra

I’ve had an awesome day. Really busy and I’m completely knackered but I’ve experienced most of what Canberra has to offer! So another 5km run this morning (she’s trying to kill me haha) followed by some core work and alt lunges. We then went to Lake Burley Griffin and done it’s 5km walk. Whilst there we saw the National Carillion - an instrument given by the UK to Canberra in the 60s. It’s a giant tower with bells which is apparently is played by two keyboards. Luckily we heard it being played which was great! We also saw the National Gallery - full of odd stuff but saw some Pollock and Monet’s Waterlillies which was cool. We finished the loop then went to the Library - a massive building which was very beautiful. Grabbed some lunch there before heading to Parliament House. A very lovely building slap bang in the middle of Canberra on a hill. We went inside and luckily they had their Parliament sitting today so we got to watch some debates which just felt like a modern day House of Co
