Well – we arrived in Sydney last night and were greeted by a very friendly and chatty Shuttle bus driver – I think we both know his entire life story now. Unfortunately he didn’t know Kirribilli very well so we went around in circles a bit but we eventually got to Carita and Nicki’s place.
Here is the view from their lounge room – very nice!
Today we went exploring around North Sydney and the city.
We started by walking around Kirribilli and visiting the Prime Minister’s house – unfortunately he wasn’t home so we couldn’t pop in to say “hi”.
We then went round to the water and headed into Luna Park, then walked over the bridge into the city.
From there we visited “The Rocks”, Opera House and Hyde Park.
One thing for sure is that Sydney is quite hilly and has lots of stairs. Our legs are killing us! We took some respite and took the train home rather than walk back across the bridge.
Sydney really is a great city – the transport system and scenery is heads and shoulders better than Perth. The only downsides are the ridiculous traffic, crazy drivers and tolls everywhere.
Not sure what our plans are for the rest of our time here – but if we do anything exciting I will post it up here. Or maybe I will get Rob to post – it’s about time he did I think.
