Back in Sydney, but not for long

We left the rainy season in Cairns and landed into a beautifully sunny Sydney. Unfortunately we were unable to spend any time enjoying the weather as we had a lot of tasks to complete. Amongst other things we; closed our bank accounts, applied for our Australian taxback, bought me (Tim) a book (arguably the most important), booked accomodation for Christchurch, and managed to meet up with a friend from university who'd recently arrived to Sydney and say a final farewell to our housemates. All in all a well spent 48 hours.

As previously mentioned we hooked up with a Mr Ryan Martin, who Priya lived next door to in the final year and I spent a year in Amsterdam with in the third year. He is in good form, and enjoying Australia and we managed to catch up over a few pints and a meal in chinatown..... I like that stuff!

Fianlly we went back to our old stomping ground at 97 William Henry Street for a final hurrah. Nitya and Vidya were both in good form, as was Tharany; unfortunately, we didnt get another chance to spend time with John as he was already back in San Fran....look out, there mght still be hope! We enjoyed seeing the house again and catching up with our former housemates, and even in those few hours we were reminded how lucky we'd been. Still, we had been in Australia for FAR too long (especially as the cricket was generally so dreadful) and it was time to set off for pastures new. Next stop, Lord of the rings country, New Zealand.
