GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i was awoken by the italian in my room this morning cuz he was trying to get a flight back to milan today but there was nothing availible, and his english isnt very good, so i had to talk to the guy at the flight counter for him over the phone, long story short, he cant go home until march 11. Anyways, so as i was turning over in my bed (this was around 9:45, my alarm was set for 11:30) i saw something that made me jump, BLUE SKY!! so with that i hopped out of bed, threw on my board shorts and an undershirt and headed out the door (only after applying alot of sunscreen, i aint gonna be no raccoon!).
So i stoped at the travel place and tried to figure out my plan, and it looks like i can get up the east coast (85% of expenses included) for around 800$ (thats bus, room, tours, etc) and it would be a hope on and off bus so should i want to stay a few nights in a city, i can just get on the bus when it comes back, so thats looking like the plan now, and the bus would take me all the way up to carines (and would include the reef tour too). Then i would just fly out of Carines to India instead (possibly cheaper as its closer to the mainland, thats next on my list after i finish this).
So after i talked to the guy, i went and spent the day on the beach, it was soooooo nice, a little overcast, but over all it was really nice, defiantly scored a good tan
Overall tho, im a little disappointed in myself today, i was doing SO WELL!! Along the walk to the beach, the path forces you through a string of shops and stores and food, and there to my dimise was Element, Billabong, and Quiksilver! It was horrible, i managaed to make it in and out of element and billabong without hurting myself (everything here is sooo expensive, $45 for a t-shirt! are you kidding!!!). But in Quiksilver i found a stupid amount of things i wanted. It came down to a pair of board shorts, they looked like they were from the 50s, yellow with black trim and tiki sharks all over them, they were ballin, once i can find somewhere to upload my pictures ill show you all! The other piece was a greeny-bluey shirt, plaid with black, yellow, red, purple, it was realllllly nice, and on sale. So i settled on the shirt, it was only 50 (compared to 70 for the shorts) but its gonna be worth sleeping on the streets for a night or 2 (as long as it doesnt rain, im golden).
Anyways, that was my day, its only starting to get darker now (more due to the on coming rain tho) so im off to shower and change into my new shirt, probally go hang out with the germans and norweigians on the floor below me for a bit (getting a ton of reading done too)
O and because i had to take the ferry to get to the beach, i was able to finally get some good shots of the opera house and the bridge
On to the next day, hopefully ill book my trip tomorrow and be able to get out of the money pit that is sydney before the weekend!
