Watson's Bay Sydney

Sydney is one of those cities that just blows you away. As soon as we landed, our heads were on a swivel trying to take in all the sites. We arrived on October 1st and were greeted by 80 degree temps, tons of sunshine and a spectacular city with tons to offer.

We started out by just walking around Circular Quay. We literally spent the …

Day one - Quick look around the city
We arrived in Sydney after a 3.5hr flight from Perth. Checked in at Westend backpackers and headed straight into town and down to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay. Weather was pretty good so we made the most of the few hours we had today in the sun by Circular Quay and doing the usual tourist …

Again we woke to continual rain - not good for the wedding or my wedding outfit.
We went for a walk down to the Rocks before getting ready. Doug finally bought an umbrella for himself.
After getting ready for the big event we hopped onto a 70-75 seater bus and headed out to Watson's Bay Naval base for the Wedding Ceremony. The scenery was …

After arriving we went to make a picture of the group after that we the hostel to settle. After that we went to the store to get something to eat and drink. At night we went to BBQ and a aboriginal came to dance, I also danced together with him and other people too, Ate kangaroo taste like beef. After that we went out to a club. Next day We had to …

There’s no better place to begin than the very beginning. I landed in Sydney during the late afternoon on September 25th, after having spent a week in Fiji, unprepared as I usually am. I’d made sure to take cash out to get my duty free liquor, but hadn’t exactly gotten around to booking myself somewhere to sleep that night so …

Upon arrival at Sydney (without getting us lost, yippee) we set up the caravan and went for a walk to Narrabeen beach and headland. The girls were amazed at the beach pool. Later in the week the girls decided to do a swimming training session at the pool. They had all good intentions (they had written a training program wet and dry land!!), but …

I don't often spend nights in luxury hotels, but to spend some quality time together, Roza and Michelle and I decided to go all out and hire an 'Executive Lounge Suite' in the Marriott Hotel at Hyde Park in Sydney. Executive Rooms are on Level 20 and 21 of the hotel, have glorious views over Hyde Park and the CBD and at the end of the hall on L21 …

When I was in Sydney in 2004 and 2005, I visited many tourist attractions around the city. The most memorable tourist attraction of Sydney to me was Manly, where I visited with Jenny. I didn't swim at the time, but we strolled along the beautiful coast and she showed me her dance on the beach. It was much fan. This time, I felt like trying another …

So after a busy and tiring Day 1 and 2, Day 3 brought some beautiful blue skies and a Captain Cook Cruise around Sydney. We left Darling Harbour and cruised past Circular Quay on to Watson's Bay, where we lunched at the infamous Doyle's!! Really was very good and good reason it's famous!!

Watsons Bay was beautiful, quiet with amazing views …

25 hours after leaving my apartment in NY - I arrived in Sydney at 6:30AM on Tuesday (feels very weird considering I left on Sunday).

To start with, my hotel is AWESOME - too bad I'll be sleeping in a 20 person dorm room for the next couple of nights

I decided to make the most of the day since I slept on the flight, so 3 cups of …
