Rambling

Wow. The new look here is interesting. Well, it has been a few days since I posted last and man did I have a blast in Sydney. The only thing I didn't love so much was the train trip. Not much of a thrill unfortunately. 11 hours on a train as uncomfortable as heck.

But I had forgotten what a pretty city it is. No scrap that, Stunning. Hyde Park and the Botanical Gardens/Domain areas/ Not to mention the usual of The Harbour Bridge and The Opera House. I also went to the Zoo (did this last time as well, but wanted to check it out again and once more was blown away by the bird show I also went to Manly which is gorgeous beachside area and Darling Harbour - The Aquarium and Chinese Friendship Gardens and The Paddy Markets (this remined me of Vic Markets a little). Pretty much all of which took my breath away. The presentation of the shops is awesome as well......So all in all I had a great 4 days in Sydney. It is nice to be back in my aparto though and I am looking forward to Boy From Oz and then heading to Canberra and Batemans Bay. Just wanted to update.

The Tower was great as well, got to go up in the evening and see Sydney at night. Wasn't in the mood for clubbing and this was a grea way to look out over the city in the night lights and be safe about it as well. I took some great video footage at the Aquarium and fantastic shots all round. Caught up with (a) from Japan days as well, but that was just for coffee/tea so a little disappointing. Was good to see her but I felt a little distant....maybe that was me being jealous. She seems deliriously happy - things are going well for her, she looks stunning as always and has just bought an apartment in the Manly/Mosman area. Good Luck to her and I am glad she is happy, but just realised we were more like aquaintences than friends....But yes, I had a great time, tired from walking so much and broke from over spending for stuff, but hey that is what a holiday is for - to enjoy right...

 

My hotel was great with a beautiful clean bathroom and very comfy bed and near Hyde Park and most of the sights. Really glad I went.

One thing I like more about Melbourne though is that it is easier to find a restaurant.....Getting home by transport isnt crash hot though when a f****g taxi driver and group of protesters with him decide to block Flinders St and Swanson St for a protest. Ok enough for now. The holiday is going great so far. Will post more later.

Having a bit of fun exploring the new blogigo design. Interesting, but I already mentioned that. Just read back over this and I have barely bothered to punctuate anything. Hope it makes sense still.
