I made it to Sydney this morning and am writing this while sheltering from some pretty impressive thunder storms! I have one night in Sydney and then catch the train up to Katoomba tomorrow morning where I will be met by my WWOOF-ing host. I'm using the time to do some paperwork :( and start planning for the next stage of my trip.
My last day in Adelaide was great fun, I met up with a comedian, a hurdy gurdy player and a magician in the hostel who were performing at the fringe. The magician recognised me as my mums daughter! He used to be based in Lancashire and performed at the great Lancashire show with mum about 10 years ago (small world huh?) Anyway I spent the afternoon and the evening in the Garden of unearthly desires which is one of the venues for the fringe, soaking up the free street shows and sneaking backstage at some of the musical events. the day was made even better byt he free food and drink circulating to keep everyone entertained (I've now fully completed the transition to backpacker as free things make my day - especially free food!) I even had a try at performing myself as my magician friends audience helper (nothing too exciting I helped fasten the padlock for his Houdini-esk escape act and helped with some card tricks.
Oh well the rain is now stopping so I shall make my way back from the harbour and to the center of town. More from the Blue Mountains...
p.s. my Aussie accent must be getting better - someone accused me of being from Sydney on the plane this morning.
