Meeting May in Sydney

CIMG8143

So, I was in Sydney for 2 days and 2 nights, on Tuesday - Thurs morning, and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most humbling, and sincere person I’ve ever met, little miss may.

It was pretty funny because we’ve never met in real life, so we had a tiny problem looking for each other at the train station. :) But all is good when we saw each other!

After I checked into my hostel, we went for food! We went for Spanish - just because I’ve never had them. :)

These are tapas, or ‘Spanish dim sum’ as May calls it. Haha. We had from top left corner, clockwise: Zucchini stuffed with Scallop; King Prawns in garlic I reckon; mushrooms in garlic; skewed lambs.

And we have a piece of bun, and we eat the bun with the tapas. :)

Then, we took a ferry over to Watson’s Bay. The ferry ride was awesome! It was very very cloudy, as you can see.

We had a good time talking, and laughing at Watson’s Bay while enjoying the breeze; and I had the honour of hearing more views, tricks, tips and thoughts about blogging from May. :) Angel shared some with me as well when I met her a few months back.

It is definitely interesting to know how blogging can bring people together; and the most clich?d thing is, we seem to know each other so well despite the fact that we have never met each other.

:)

The day ended with a cup of toffee nut frappuccino from Starbucks, and two tired souls. :)

Thank you *SO* much for the food, and coffee, and most of all, thank you so much for your warmth, kindness, friendliness, and … just being yourself! :) It was truly an honour to be meeting you and spending a day with you, May! :) Thanks, so much!!
