It's wet down under

So I've been in Oz for a couple of weeks now, living at Party House with my cousin Sam, and hanging with he, Hannah, and their respective other halves, Chris and Michelle.

I've not been up to huge amounts of stuff so far as I've needed some time to relax, and it's been pissing down with rain pretty much every day since I got here. We managed to get down to the dog track the other evening and it stayed dry, thankfully, and we've headed down to the Fish Market in Sydney, I've cooked some dinners for the Party House 5 (pictured below), been to the pub, the usual.


I headed down to Wildlife World at Darling Harbour yesterday which was a fun way tp spend an afternoon, the only disappointment being that the Funnel Web Spiders were really hard to see as they tend to hide in burrows... I managed to get some great photos whilst I was there though, although it was a shame the Taipan (the snake I most wanted to see) was hiding at the back of its tank. That said, the entrance fee was worth it just to see the Wombat, or 'Bear-pig' as it was dubbed by the American next to me who'd spent a good 20 minutes watching him and laughing at his antics. There were obviously Wallabys and Koalas, and they also had a cool collection of lizards and dragons - one of which you can see below. Oooh, the magic of t'interweb.


It's Tuesday today, which means quiz night down at the pub, which should be fun, and there's a big party on Friday so watch out Sydney!

Hopefully I'll be heading north soon in search of better weather, so keep an eye out in a couple of weeks for a more exciting update!
