Wet wet wet

Last night was the first time in a long long while that I slept under a duvet AND a blanket! Winter in Sydney right now resembles summer in New Zealand: wet and cold! But I am here at last; arrived yesterday safe and sound after only a small delay. I must say it is lovely to be in a really big city again, with all the sounds, excitements and luxuries (food!) that come with it, although I am sure I must get bored of it at some stage. Let's hope not before I leave! Haven't done any touristy stuff yet, just a lot of walking around in the rain in my sandals trying to buy a new pair of hiking boots since I gave away my old ones in Vanuatu. Being in an environment where lots of stuff is for sale, automatically leads to spending, it seems. Alarmingly so much so, that I decided to try and keep track of money going out. A first. There you are: been traveling for only two days and already I am growing as a person...

9.50 cooked breakfast
99.50 hiking shoes (bargain: sale)
4.25 starbucks, chai latte (aiaiai those beautiful foamy lattes...)
3.50 boysenberry icecream (1 scoop)

0.00 orange wedge provided by nice shop lady to wash mouth after grass juice
5.80 two bus tickets (to closed Indonesian consulate, and back)
