Days in Sydney: 6 days

After a week of jetlag and sleeping at the drop of a hat, we actually had our first productive day in Sydney yesterday. We spent the day in search of the perfect apartment we have been envisioning ourselves living in for months. After the inspections, we arrived home feeling deflated and underwhelmed.

There were some nice apartments out of our price ranges, some scary apartments and some that were just "so-so". We have decided to apply for 5 of the 6 apartments that we viewed yesterday. One in particular we particularly loved. Its still occupied right now, but the couple that lives there now has put a lot of care into the house and its decoration. Another that is a serious contender is in an area called Balmoral. It is up the hill for Balmoral beach (2 minutes walking distance) but also right on a main road. The price is just up our alley so its a definite possibility.

Its going to be harder to find an apartment than we had originally thought. Since we have no jobs and no income, it will be difficult to secure an apartment. We are contacting the property managers to see if we can bribe them but we've yet to see if our attempts will be successful.

In the meantime, we've decided to FINALLY go to the beach today. We've reached our limit of productive-ness for one week so now we are back to our irresponsible ways. Time to soak up some sun for the first time down under!

Perpetually Dreaming,
Linds & Naz
