Today's blog is brought to you by the letters V and Q and the number 23.

We made it to Sydney and the weather is a huge relief. It was about 23 celsius (or about 73F). So nice! We had a couple kinks in our travel. First, we didn't realize we needed a visa to go to Australia. Luckily we took care of that one at the airport. Next, apparently all of our contact with NZ soil/water/farm animals could have earned us a big old quarantine. Luckily we were able to talk our way through the red tape and slid right on through.

We're staying in a huge hostel in central Sydney. Somehow I'm in a room full of guys from England and Ireland. I'm not sure where Evan is to be honest but hopefully he can fill me in tomorrow. Justin, one of the guys in my room, showed Evan and I where to get some cheap food and beer and we decided to call it an early night until we learn the city tomorrow.

Justin did tell us that he went to university at Birmingham, UK and, based on the wire, he guesses Birmingham is like Baltimore. Love. It.

In just a few short hours tonight I confirmed that I'm a city girl. Throw in a beach and even better. I think Australia is going to be my kind of place.
