By the time I got to Sydney, I knew 6 people who are living here - the power of travelling and meeting people.Melbourne has a perfect street plan and grid whereas Sydney is a bit of a hotch potch of areas and has grown organically and by accident or necessity. So it took me a bit longer to get my bearings here, especially as there are many transport options ranging from expensive to free. But once done so, it's relatively easy to get around and see the main sites. So I got to see the Sydney Opera House (by day and by night) and the Harbour Bridge which have been a goal ever since my father showed pictures of them to me when I was a child.
Special mention here goes to: Cousin Amanda - such a trouper to come down from Brisbane - Mark and Rob who took me out on the town in my one and only party top and helped me to lose a few million brain cells (through alcohol), my new scarf (it was sooo nice and warm!) and probably my dignity. But a superb brekkie and the sights of Bondi Beach made me forget the inevitable hangover the next day. And also to Emily, who has an amazing story to tell of personal triumph over adversity. Thank you so much for your great company.
Where do I go from here? New Zealand.
