Day 1

Finally arrived in Sydney after a 14 hour flight - thank god for Benadryl.  We got to where we're staying at about 9am, but our room won't be ready until 2pm! So Kathryn and I decided to just stroll the city and see what we could find.  Visited the QVB (queen victoria building) and Paddy's Markets in chinatown.  It's pretty much just like NYC's chinatown, but indoors and there is a huge produce and meat market with it.  Never seens so many koalas, kangaroos, outback hats, and boomarangs in my life.  We couldn't stand any longer (been  awake and traveling for about 30 hours now), so we're back at the hostel waiting for our room and a nice shower and nap.  finalllllllllllllllllllllllllly.
