Mervyn

hello eveyone this is mervyn again. their is so much to reed on this web site that i think it is exellent. my brother thinks that i should have holiday in sydney and then decide if i want to live in australia as he thinks it will be to hot for me and i dont like snakes and all that. our cousin lizzie lives in manly in sydney where she went backpacking 10 years and stayed there and i have writen her an email asking if i can stay with her family in her house when i have saved up the money for the flight and some spending money. she has not asnwered yet but fingers and toes crossed. how much money do people think i should take with me for just thinks like maybe a trip to see some beeches and maybe to a forrest and some mountains. i dont drink or smoke and dont realy like big cities to much but i like to eat big meals so i need to factor that into my holiday bugdet. do people here recomend anywhere for me to visit although i suppose that is no easy as you dont now what i like or what my hobbies are and.
thank very much.

Food is very cheap in Australia. What food do you like mervyn?

Will your cousin be able to pick you up from the Airport? I fear for you if you are on your own.

You should get some of the members on here from Sydney to give you their addresses and phone numbers in case you need some help.

The mountains and forests in Sydney are breathtaking.

Budget for $100 a day and you should be ok.

Hi Mervyn,

In my experience of Sydney (circa 2004)- It's similar priced to London
I was spending about £100 a day - but that was sightseeing - evening meals and going out drinking quite late.

I wrekon you could get by on £40 a day - about 100 aussie dollars.

Transport is really cheap - you'd only do a couple of quid in a day via the Ferries (Circular Quays) or City's Train system.

Food is avery reasonable and every possible cuisine is catered for (Mediteranean, Indian, Thai, Chinese, mongolian etc..) ranging from inexpensive fast food under £3 - to restaurant prices in excess of £30 a head for a 3 course meal.

But how strange that he knows how to use a phrase like

"will need to factor that into my holiday budget"

Issie
