Loving Sydney

Hi, glad you like the pictures, i have had some really nice comments about them. So, as you know i moved to Australia on Tuesday and it took all of about 2 hours to fall in love with the place. Its great just walking around there is so much to see and do.

On Wednesday 18th April i had a tour around the opera house which was great, we went inside a few of the theatres, concert halls and Sydneys Symphony Orchestra was practicising, just a fantastic sound. This inspired me to book a ticket to see a play in the theatre hall on the 25th. Its called A walk with the Goons and its based on Spike Milligans radio show, The Goons. The ticket was not a bad price and who wouldn't go to see something at the opera house given the opportunity. In the afternoon i spent some time in the Royal Botanical Gardens again, i love it here, there is plenty of people around, you can have your lunch, read or just look across the harbour, see the bridge and the opera house. Afterwards i walked to The Rocks area, had a nosey around the shops then went to the Museum of Contemporary Arts (its there and its free), interesting, but not for me, did not really get what the artist was trying to portray, but thats me, i haven't got an artists mind!!

On Thursday 19th i checked out of my B and B in the Darlinghurst area and got a bus to Coogee Beach and spent three nights there in a hostel. The hostel was clean and there were some really nice people to talk to. On the Friday i had a break from sight seeing i think the adrenaline had finally stopped and i felt worn out so i just had a lazy day, plus the weather was cool anyway. Saturday 21st, the weather was fantastic and i decided to do the 5KM walk from Coogee Beach to Bondi, it took around 1 hour and 20 minutes. its a great walk and you pass Gordaons Bay, Clovelly Beach, Bronte Beach, Tamarama Beach and the Bondi. The scenary is fantastic, and i have been snap happy with the camera. Those pictures i uploaded by the way are just a sample i have at least 1500 to show you once i get home and i am not yet half way through my trip.

Sunday 22nd i checked out of my hostel, catched a bus to circular quay, near the opera house and then took a ferry to Manley. I arrived at my B and B and then came for a walk, have a look around and write this blog entry. Not sure what i plan to do over the next few days, there is a 9km walk to do here so i might do that, plus a bit of beach too.

Keep safe
