Sydney and Sharks and Dugongs
We only had the one day in Sydney before going to Fiji so we hadn't planned to do a whole lot, get a haircut, try and fix my suitcase and such. But we ended up at Darling Harbor with our few small chores done and time on our hands so we went to the aquarium. The aquarium is quite nice. They have an excellent selection of their river fish to see. Sadly for me, river and lake fish just do not thrill me much. I love the colors of salt water fish, so vibrant,...
Flew back into Sydney from Nadi, Fiji last night. Non eventful flight which is always wonderful. We were not in window seats so we couldn't get a view of Fiji as we left or of Sydney as we came in but also OK as we were in exit rows so had plenty of room.
Had to give the Pacific Blue crew points for humor. The flight attendant in charge got our attention for the flight safety briefing and then again for the landing briefing. She threatened us with being made to stay behind and help them ...
Babbling Bus Drivers
We've taken several bus tours in Australia now, in all the locations where we have been: Perth, Darwin, Alice Springs, Sydney and Uluru. The tours pick you up at your hotel in the morning or afternoon, everyone else gets collected and then the driver puts on a headset and starts with the patter. In all cases, the driver has known his stuff (never had a woman on any of the tours) so that part is good but apparently the drivers have been told not to allow any silent...
And a Ho Hum to you too
Went into Sydney today for our last day in Australia and our last day togeth** as my husband returns to work tonight – flying off to Lagos, *****ia. Decided not to do the zoo as we've seen a bunch of animals at Feath**dale and earli** in the west so went to the Sydney Tow**. This tow** turned out to be a big Ho Hum for us. It was expensive to ent**; they try to make it even more expensive by doing the "Photograph memories" which has always seemed stupid t...
And on the other hand – good value
Needed to fill the afternoon so we decided to visit the Powerhouse Museum. We had skipped this museum our first time in Sydney as it looked like it might be geared to kids but my hubby wanted to see a couple of the exhibits so we went. This place was really a good museum and good value too as it only cost $10 to get into the museum – possibly the cheapest place we have been in Australia.
It has a wide variety of exhibits and some ...
Boo Hoo – alone again
My husband left a few minutes ago to return to work at the ***** Delta in *****ia. Not my happiest time by a long shot. As soon as he leaves, I get lonely and miss him t**ribly. I am h**e still for one night and then I leave in the morning for the Philippines (via Hong Kong – that's a kick). I’ll be bett** tomorrow as I will be doing something and moving about but tonight is a bumm**. I hate being the one left behind. It’s always easi** to...
Moving out and onward today. Sort of going east in a westerly direction. Will be in Manila, Philippines tonight but to get there I have to go through Hong Kong. Doesn't matter, the ticket was free! Yippee. Gotta love building up those miles.

Purchased a lovely ceramic bowl in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. As it was too heavy to ship back to my home base, I have been carefully carrying it around in my suitcase. It has been well padded with clothes and wrapped in multiple layers of paper. So I went through 10 flights with no problems and then finally on the flight from Ayers Rock Resort to Syndey, the bowl bit the dust. Opened my suitcase in the hotel last night and it was toast. Maybe 20 pieces or more, certainly too much ever glue back...

... personnel work toward expert status.<br><br>I spoke to a member of the NSW QA team in respect of ISO and standardization and was able to get a breakdown of how much this process costs.<br><br>In terms of adopting ISO 17020, NSW had decided not to use this but have applied the ISO 17025 to the unit in the same way Queensland has. Both forces felt this was more fitting for their use. We also discussed the cost ...

... watching the dudes surfing and the ladies sunbathing, think were going to wait til its a little warmer before attempting some surfing. We got bored of sitting around and went for a walk along the beach front and headed around the cliffs to Bronte Beach passing a few other coves which were even quieter than Bondi. We were getting cold so headed back to Bondi town and had a wander around the shops ...

I will miss not having a Gym, but I will continue my health plans by keeping up my jogging, gota find a nice park. (my jeans are feeling looser :-))<br><br>In the cab here we were surprisingly told we were living in an expensive part of town, although this was one of the cheapest accommodations we found in the local suburbs. It is a lot quieter where we are now, but we are a 3 ...

Even after asking the tour guide, I still don’t know where the others are, but we will supposedly meet them in the Whitsundays because they’re on another tour. The other people on this part of the tour are 3 Canadians about to enter college and a female Canadian teacher (she has fiancée). The tour manager ...

... get up and surf. It looks fun and in another lifetime I may be tempted to do it myself. What struck me was the variety of people doing it. You'd think it would be ripped men with long blonde hair saying "dude" all the time like the stereotype, but no, men, women and children of all ages, races and creeds were out there surfing (or bobbing up and down) so that was another enlightening moment.<br><br>As it was winter, Bondi beach wasn't that ...

... area until 21 years ago when it was transformed into a waterfront tourist trap. There is glitzy Cockle Bay Wharf, with its flashy cafes & restaurants & the overrated Harbourside Centre. We also found a cafe, The Pontoon, which served cheap food & beer. Circular Quay, the city's transport hub, was one of our favourite places; it also had its glitzy restaurants on the waterfront terrace leading to the Opera House, but near the ...

Some visitors to bondi must have been impressed with how he looked in his surfing gear as tourists from wales asked if they could get a picture of him with his surf board. As part of her work rachael has been getting to travel ...
